What happens if an owner never reclaims a towed vehicle?
Normally a towed car is towed to an impound lot operated by a business. They charge you high daily fees for parking that are added to the towing fees. After so many days (typically something like 30 days) the towing lot owner is allowed to confiscate the car and sell it to recoup unpaid bills - the parking fees and towing charge. Pretty much the same principle as a mechanic lien where a mechanic performs work on your car but you refuse to pay for it and as a result he won’t allow you to pick the car up. He can sell the car for the amount owed. The real racket is say you owe $200 but your car is worth $2000. He sells it to a buddy for $200 and tells you that is all he could get for your crappy car because it was in such poor shape. The buddy turns around and sells it for $2000 market value and under the table gives half the $1800 profit in cash to the lot owner. Instead of you to whom it rightfully belongs even if you did owe the $200.Quite a racket. Often the owner might be out of the country for an extended period of time and lose his car as a result. Get very messy. Perhaps your car was towed unfairly or not… you are still out your car and its contents and its very hard to get back.OTOH, suppose you had a junker that would not pass inspection and needed $1500 of engine work so yo just left it parked where it broke down. The towing lot owner would still sell it after a months storage say $100 tow fee + $10 a day - $400 total due. He’d only get $25 from the crushers. but, then, he didn’t exactly have a lot invested in it did he?
What do you know about Colonial Maryland?
The land was given to Cecil Calvert aka Lord Baltimore by King Charles I. The land was founded on the ideas of religious freedom and tolerance. Cecil named his brother Leonard as governor. Eventually Leonard allowed the colonists to elect an assembly. In 1649 he helped to pass the first law that guaranteed religious liberty. It was named the Act Concerning Religion, but it only applied to Christians, not Jews and atheists. They were mostly a farming and shipping colony.
Pros and cons of adopting a horse ?
It depends if you are adopting a horse from a rescue or from a federation (Such as the Wild horse & burro foundation) Rescue horses - it really depends how they came to the rescue. If they were neglected, abused (Biggie) and/or never handled then it could probably cost a lot of money to get them back on there feet. It will take a lot of time for them to become trusting of humans again (if they aren't already.. these creatures are SO forgiving..) and to cover any veterinary costs. If they were surrendered, chances are the owner couldn't take care of them anymore and most likely, they have been exposed to humans a while. This would probably be the safest way to go if you are a first-time adopter and don't have a lot of experience with rescue horses. Adopting from a federation means adopting a wild horse. (OR, you could adopt from a trainer (Such as a trainer who competed in the EMM.. They adopt horses out after the contest is over.) If you live close to New Jersey, consider rescuing a horse from the Camelot auctions. For more information, visit this website. (: http://www.nj-feedlot-horse-rescue.com/ EDIT: That's exactly what Camelot rescues do. (: Make sure you look before you adopt the horse. What do you want to use it for? Would you adopt a horse who could never be ridden again? Rescue horses always make the best horses to me. Good luck!
What are some slang terms used among police officers?
The most derogatory terms for the bad guys and citizens who are just pains in the rectum:A.H. = Adam Henry (A-dam H-enry) If you don’t get it…..sometimes you will hear it as “Jack Hole”…..now what starts with an “A” that ends with HOLE ?RICHARD CRANIUM= What starts with a “D” and is a nickname for Richard ? What is the non-medical layman’s term for the Cranium ? Do these clues HEAD you in the right direction ?
I found an uncharted and unclaimed island (I checked). How do I claim it as mine?
Even though it might not be charted, chances are it's been "claimed" by somebody at some point in history. This is why William Penn continues to be sued centuries after his death. Or why Floridians find themselves having to drag the king of Spain into court to fix a flawed deed. Penn once held claim to all of what went on to become Pennsylvania. So if you discover a two-foot wide swath bordering your property that nobody seems to own, say hello to Squire Penn. And his heirs. That land still, on paper, belongs to them. Same goes, to a somewhat lesser extent, with the Spanish monarchy here in Florida. Somebody at some point in time claimed it, even if they had no idea what "it" was. To obtain clear title, you might very well wind up having to haul the very, very late Vasco da Gama or some other ancient corpse before a judge.As far as filing a "claim," consider it done. It's yours. Unless somebody with a destroyer shows up to dispute your claim. Considering your uncharted island is also likely uninhabited, it's doubtful you've been able to recruit much of a navy. And, as that's how territory disputes are most commonly resolved, my money is going to be on the guys with the big boat. And the big guns. Odds are that if nobody cared enough to put your island on a chart, nobody really gives a rat's you-know-what about the place. Unless you discover oil while digging your latrine trench. Then, see "destroyer" above. Otherwise, odds are you can happily live out your days on your happy little island without making anybody terribly unhappy. You can even pass it down to your heirs. Unless a fleet happens to appear on the horizon. So much for happy little island.So congratulations. That island is all yours. Or as "all yours" as it's ever going to be. (You could, of course, figure out who or what might be the most probable claimant and attempt to commence an action in quiet title. But don't confuse title with sovereignty. While I own the land my house is on, Florida and the United States have sovereignty over that land. Which they won't hesitate to invoke in the event I decide to build a nuclear power plant out back next to the pool.)Enjoy.
