Howdy,
Here in Madison, this liberal capitol of the midwest, its'
illegal to have an unregistered vehicle in the garage!!! last fall I
swapped the Pig body, (76 chevy truck) rusty, for an 82 texas rustfree
body, got in trouble for having the body parts in my back yard for 1
day!!!, neighbors called.....and I can't even confront my accuser, they
take anonymous calls...
in your case, the polaroids were probably taken by the city, they
have the right to enter....
