On the way back from Church this morning, we saw that it was not a day of
rest nor a holiday for a pair of policemen and the haulage firm they had
contracted to remove a car parked "na losia" ("like a moose") in front of a
parade of shops on Pruszkowska Street.
They didn't have the sort of overhead lifting crane that would have been
needed to access the vehicle, parked right up next to the shops so as to
prevent pedestrians from getting by at all (the rule here I understand is 1.5
metres), so they simply smashed the window, got in, took off the handbrake
and steered it out as it was pulled back onto the "laweta" by a cable.
And off it went.
There was a small crowd gathered around, and they all had pretty approving
looks-on-face. My wife, who walks with a stick and is particularly bothered
by people who do things like that, was delighted. She wanted to give the
police a round of applause but I advised against it as they might have
thought she was being sarcastic, and given us a "mandat" or something.
It certainly didn't bother me, what they did. The driver had no "kultura" at
all, parking like that. If they only reserve the heavy tactics for such
extreme cases of "abnegacja" on the part of "kierowcy", and don't get a taste
for it, then it doesn't threaten me - I don't park like that.
