Mystery surrounds abandoned car on Regina street that sat for over 2 months with tickets piling up

A car sat on a Regina street for more than two months with tickets piling up, according to residents in the area.

A car sat on a Regina street for more than two months with tickets piling up, according to residents in the area.

The grey Dodge Avenger, which was perched on a snow route across from Central Park, racked up numerous parking citations while it remained parked in the same spot since December, according to Thrisia Pana, who lives in the area.

“You drive by it and you think, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s been there,’ and then a week goes by and it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s been there a week or two, or three and because of the lack of snow underneath the vehicle, it has been there prior to that big snowfall in December,” Pana told CTV News on Monday.

Pana said that tickets periodically disappeared from the windshield, only adding to the mystery.

“There have been tickets placed on the windshield and then they’re gone, so I don’t know if somebody is removing them, now there seems to be a few more, I mean, the wind can take them. I mean, how many tickets does a vehicle need to get if parked in the same spot before somebody says, 'We’ve ticketed this vehicle 18 times, it’s not moving.'”

Pana said she and another resident, as well as their building manager, contacted the City of Regina after they realized it was still there after months.

She said her main concern was safety in the area.
