My son Ted parked his car at the Brookpark RTA lot and flew to Las Vegas. The RTA lot was cheaper than the airport lot.<\/p>\n

My son didn\u2019t come back.\u00a0 He thought he was going for a vacation, but he got a job in Las Vegas and stayed there.<\/p>\n

My son\u2019s 2007 Ford Focus sat in the Brookpark lot for two months, until my wife, Alice, and I loaded our car with jumper cables and a generator-pump and drove to the RTA lot, which is next to Ford Engine Plant #1 and a couple strip bars.<\/p>\n

I said to Alice, \u201cTed\u2019s car is technically in Brook Park, not Cleveland. That\u2019s good. If the car has been towed or stolen, we can deal with Brook Park red tape better than Cleveland red tape.\u201d<\/p>\n

The car wasn\u2019t towed or stolen.\u00a0 It was there. The doors were unlocked. The tires were low. There was a bottle of bourbon in the backseat.<\/p>\n

I drove Ted\u2019s car to the Lusty Wrench in Cleveland Heights the next day. \u00a0Sam, the mechanic, said, \u201cThe car is basically in good shape with 89,000 miles. \u00a0The battery will not make it, and as you know the side-view mirror is taped on.\u00a0\u00a0 The tape is not a bad solution.\u00a0 The rear tires are round, black and hold air, but they\u2019re not very good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The car was serviceable.\u00a0 It worked.<\/p>\n

I want to know, Is Greater Cleveland really this safe and accommodating? I need more data.\u00a0 Please leave your car for two months at a Rapid stop and tell me what happens.<\/p>\n
