Cornycow Neutral Newbie January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 Here is the incident which happened a while ago... My family and I went to the Long Beach restaurant at East Coast Park for dinner. The carpark is operated by the typical cashcard system. (You insert the cashcard in when you enter, and insert it again at the exit for deduction of money) After eating, we (in our car) proceeded to the exit barrier. The road at the exit barrier is about barely 2 lanes wide. However, there is a Toyota Previa/Estima in front of us. The driver seems to have a problem with the cashcard machine. After meddling with the cashcard machine for awhile, the driver gave up and parked his car by the side of the kerb. (Imagine him parking on the left lane of the road, just that there is no lane divider) After which, he signalled for us to go first and went back to his car. (Now there is only one passenger from his car that is standing on the road, and he is also kinda signalling for us to move forward) My brother then inserted our cashcard and drove forward a little. But to our surprise, the Previa/Estima went forward without stopping. Sensing that something is wrong, I immediately came out of our car and ran forward. The passenger of the Previa/Estima is now running towards his car, laughing hysterically. And at the same time, signalling and shouting to the driver "Go go go!!". I ran up towards their car and managed to take down their car plate number. Actually I had time to reach their car and possibly open one of their doors, but I'm in a semi-shocked state that I only cared about their car plate number. Soon, their car sped off and went out of sight. Later, with the help of a taxi behind us, we managed to get out of the carpark. (Taxi inserted his cashcard and both of our car went out at the same speed, thus avoiding the barrier crashing down) What do you guys think of this incident? Never in my life have I experienced this. That guy can actually laugh and run off. There are actually alot of kids in his car, what type of image is he trying to portray to the others? Is there no integrity left in himself? The carpark fee is just a puny $2.50, not 2.5 million. My family and I were super pissed, and I consulted my police friend. Sad to say, there's nothing much I can do about this. I have his car plate number, is there anything I can do??? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks~ P.S. (Please don't post stupid comments, as this is no laughing matter) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentwy Neutral Newbie January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 (edited) wtf? write to LTA. this arsewhole should have his car impounded. license revoked. if I had friends in TP I would tell them this story. And write him a nice note to his house. If I had friends in the newspapers, I would ask them write a story. With his number plate flashed LARGE.

Picantorian Neutral Newbie January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 Hi Cornycow, I guess that now there is nothing much you can do about it.. It is over, Reporting to police does not get anything solved here, they cannot go after the person for cheating and repay you the $2.50. No proof. Take it as a lesson learnt and be wiser next time! Cheer up... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 Haha..Oh well, since both of you guys went out, I guess there is really nothing much you can do. I thought you will some problems with the management, in which case, most have cameras there. If the car happen to be suay and seen by you again soon, you can have a nice talk with the fella. Otherwise, I would say just take the number, buy 4D and hope you win first prize to comfort your anger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qpik Supercharged January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 well, i aint cos i was in the same boat...except that it happened in a carpark n the fella was driving a luxury car (M) somemore and was on the exit lane with no car behind him... after we pressed the button, he snatched our ticket away and inserted on his side. he shouted that he just came in & didn't not get a ticket as he was driving out. we were quite shocked until we did not chase after his car. so we went to see the carpark attendant who was quite understanding to give us a ticket. the attendant told us that the fella has seen her about having to pay $20++ for overnight parking and was disputing the charges. we were quite that there are this kind of pple in sillypore.... so next time, beware of pple who stand beside ticketing machine....

Cornycow Neutral Newbie January 7, 2006 Author Share January 7, 2006 He don't need a ticket, its just that his cashcard is faulty or do not have sufficient value in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Neutral Newbie January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 Just find pleasure in cursing him secretly... If you like I can help you curse him too. "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits and groin. He will get cancer in his rectum this year. He will get lukemia the next. May his children and future generations of his children all be whores if they are girls and thieves if they are boys. I believe the heaven is fair. You steal a little off someone, you'll pay alot more someday down the road. I've seen it happen many many times. Besides, you said it yourself, its a pathetic $2.50. Your dinner probably cost 20 times more than that. Laugh at it. Let it go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 If successful, the offender pay for the 2.50 and he can send the video to "Most Outrageous Behaviour Caught on Video" and can earn USD50! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Neutral Newbie January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 In your case, snatching the ticket off your hand is outright robbery. That is a police case. That driver (robber) has stolen something from you for his own use. Don't worry, with my nice curse, I'm sure his armpits and groin is very itchy now.

Yc86 Clutched January 7, 2006 Share January 7, 2006 wah lao... so cheap!!!!!! got $$ to eat seafood, buy big car, bring family... can't even afford a 2.50 fee steal other ppl's tix. if he dun exit, means he cannot enter that same parking lot forever? there's no proof against this guy, if the parking system can't accept his IU (cos he didn't 'check out' of that place), then maybe have chance... if the system memory cleared or somethin, then no choice i guess since u say $2.50 only, take it as u donated to some needy cheat nxt time u see that same car, give him a few free decorations since he like free things so much ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
