Vehicles parked beside 'No Parking' traffic sign board draw penalty. How about an abandoned boat? Police officers in California in the US were left bewildered after finding a boat parked beside the 'No Parking' signboard on March 5. The Irwindale police department took to Twitter to share photographs of the unlawful parking of the boat at the side of Los Angeles Street. A small white boat can be seen tied to the pole in the street in the photographs. After spotting the boat, it was immediately removed by the city yard crew and taken to the local tow yard, as per a UPI report. Ahoy, you can’t park there! At least the captain was kind enough to anchor his boat to the street sign before he abandoned ship..This derelict vessel was found adrift on Los Angeles Street west of Azusa Canyon Road yesterday. It was promptly removed by our city yard crew. pic.twitter.com/07z7gwN1Hm— Irwindale Police Department (@IrwindalePolice) March 5, 2022 "Ahoy, you can’t park there!

"Exactly, which was why the boat was tethered - so they could pull the trailer out from underneath the boat," commented a user. pic.twitter.com/hny8qnIsvx— Irwindale Police Department (@IrwindalePolice) March 5, 2022 Trailer was worth more than the boat!

A notice will be sent to the owner and there is no report of any stolen boat, Gatto said.
