The parking meter we used this morning accepted my first quarter, but the second one got stuck in the coin slot. It is still stuck there. Someone should check the meter and remove the coin. The meter is on Kirkwood west of Walnut on the north side of the square. Here is the meter information: Parking zone: 76118 Meter: 5THW117-A
Abandoned van on Habitat St. in front of 304 N. Hopewell. Flat tire, etc.
Today, I parked on Walnut St, just outside Fountain Square. I initially got $8 in quarters nickels and dimes to feed the meter. At 9:45am, I put $6 of quarters, nickels, and dimes in the meter (which should have made my time expire at 3:45pm). This only gave me time until 12:03pm. I then went back up at 11:45am with my remaining $2 and put the 8 quarters in - which added 30 minutes to my parking time - at $1 per hour, this is incorrect. I then decided that the parking meter was not capable of taking change, so I got my debit card out and paid for the remaining part of the day - to take me to 5:17pm (really wanted 5:30pm, but was sick of fighting with the meter). At this point - I think that the amount I have paid for 7.5 hours is $12.30 (obviously the $0.30 is because I used my card - EVEN though I had change). The amount I should have had to pay for 7.5 hours is $7.50. Even if you give me a refund, I REALLY just want the meter fixed. I will take a picture of the meter before I leave tonight so you are able to determine which meter is malfunctioning. Please feel free to contact me at the email and phone number listed.
There is a rusty copper colored old pickup truck license plate 551637 as well as an old maroon four door sedan license plate 74ORZ that have both been street parked on the southern half of S Washington between 2nd and 1st streets. Neither one has moved since the start of the school year when I moved in here and it seems like neither has moved in ages. If at all possible I wouldn't like to be connected to this tip because I know one of them belongs to my neighbor and I don't want him getting mad at me. Thanks!

There is a landscaping truck and trailer that has been parked outside our house for more than two weeks. It is a red truck with landscaping equipment in the back and a trailer filled with dead yard waste. The back tire of the trailer is flat. Please contact owner for removal or have it towed. Thanks.
Michelle called to report an abandoned vehicle on Oak Street between 6th and 7th Street. The corner address is 1100 W. 6th St. It has been there for 2 months and its plates expired in July.
You have at least 1 or maybe 2 cars parked on the yellow curb. On 14th st between college and woodburn ave. Not really urgent except for the fact it shouldn't be there. Seems to be a problem a lot. Thanks
520 S Jordan. New School year equals new tenants. Parking on the side yard off of the alley. I'm thinking the landlord is not telling the tenants that there is only two parking spots when the rent this house. In the evening there are often three cars parked on the grass.
