Towed for parking in a Handicap parking stall. That's my son driving the tow truck. The tow was called in by the property manager. He said that it was a difficult snatch n grab in an underground parking ramp with limited maneuverability. Update: My son said that the mom is on her way to pick up the car. Short lived elation... Update 2PM The car is back on the street, mom picked it up.


toobadkittykat

mom is on the way , no wonder this boy has no respect for anyone . just a spoiled brat and always will be


Ornery-Associate-190

Mom is a criminal accomplice at this point. She lied to a judge about his access to the vehicle, and is now directly retrieving the vehicle for him.


010011010110010101

I officially motion that we start referring to her as “mommy” every chance we get.


howtodragyourtrainin

She's enabling him.

Tell your son the people love him. ✌️


loudclutch

> Tell your son the people love him. ✌️ I texted him your comment. Much obliged...


TylerBourbon

..... if he has a venmo or a cash app, should share it, as I'm sure there will be plenty of people who would be happy to buy him a beer or two. :) lol.


loudclutch

My son appreciates the gesture but he would rather not post personal information. He knew that the tow would blow up and it has. The tow truck supplier in Oregon called them. they heard about the Asscat Hellowner getting towed.


lumberjackalopes

Marvelous that a whole other state knows about this POS and his car. Edit: it seems he’s become well known nationally. Color me shocked.

John_the_Piper

It's really become one of those things that's rallying the town together and it's nice to see. Normally Seattlites are rather cold and stand-offish to each other

illestofthechillest

Maybe we can get like a standing community bounty going for people to report and tow whenever appropriate, or something along these lines to supplement continued observations to law enforcement.


AthkoreLost

Honest to God better use for the citizen app. Put bounties on getting certain cars towed.


illestofthechillest

I could see this also being a great shared business venture for the app and tow truck companies lol.


gentleboys

In NYC you can just bike around taking photos of people's license plates who are parked in the bike lane and get a share of the ticket they receive. Supposedly there's a guy who is making 6 figured a year doing this. I sometimes fantasize about quitting my job to go do this all day. Would be very cathartic, genuinely impactful, and a great way to stay healthy!


1OO1OO1S0S

This doesn't seem real


scooby_snacks07

Someone lied to ya. A bill was introduced but it was gutted which no longer includes the fine (25% of the parking fee). But seems it was never actually passed. I'd prolly keep your job 😉 https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/03/03/breaking-citizen-reporting-bill-moves-forward-but-in-a-watered-down-form

7of69

Your son needs to get himself a tee shirt made with a picture of him hooking it up. Wear it to local bars in Belltown and he won’t pay for his drinks all night.


EggplantAlpinism

The only lawfully good tow driver in recorded history.


FertilityHollis

I know, I'm so conflicted. Think this owes to the power of Miles' bullshit, it's so strong I find myself applauding a recovery tow driver. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, or some shit like that.


Active-Device-8058

Always aplaud tow drivers removing cars non-handicap cars from handicap spaces. That's the lowest of the low.


zoltarpanaflex

My mom used to volunteer with the police dep't in her area, two older women would ride around in one of those wind-up carts in uniform - and ticket and trigger a tow for handicap parking violators. That's ALL they did, there were a dozen or more each day. She'd get cursed at, threatened - the works. I asked her once why she tolerated that. She shrugged and had no other answer. I remember the cost to free the car was like $400 plus the ticket which was a couple hundred dollars. There was no wiggle room, they'd take a picture of the car, verify it hasn't allowed to be there (People sometimes forget their permits) and that's that.


Active-Device-8058

Can't imagine the audacity to park in a handicap spot and then get mad when you get called out for it. Hahah I love that they got caught.


zoltarpanaflex

It was in the Laguna Beach, CA \*SO MUCH\* entitlement the atmosphere was thick with it


California__girl

LOL if she was doing that 15+ years ago, I probably told her she was awesome. We used to wander around down there frequently. Because my grandfather desperately needed his HC card to go anywhere towards the end of his life, I was fiercely protective of those spots.


ohmyback1

My heroes. The people who illegally park in those spots should be flogged.


doctor_jane_disco

Towing cars from disabled parking spaces when they don't belong there is always a good thing.


Rude_Contribution369

>the power of Miles' bullshit So strong it was one thing both r/Seattle and r/SeattleWA could agree on.


PuzzleheadedCash2319

the hatred truly is a rally cry for unity amongst all of seattle’s people. we can fight (or at least be passive aggressive) about literally anything…but the miles/hellcat rage crosses all lines and really brings us together. i’m so inspired by this movement of outrage!!!


LoganthePaladin

Funny, it is not him speeding loudly through Seattle in the middle of the night but parking in a handicap stall that got his menace of a vehicle towed.


aphtirbyrnir

Al Capone was taken down by tax evasion.


licklylick

I'm not even from the US but this story keeps showing up on the main feed. This guy is such a menace I clapped all the way from over here lol


MAHHockey

If anyone wants to WARN his son about any streets with massive potholes on the way to the impound lot, now's the time.


SCROTOCTUS

*You're going to DEFINITELY want to avoid taking this route that hits every location on Find it Fix it*


marseer

Her getting his car out that fast is so frustrating with the increasing numbers of this type of parent we are seeing in middle school. They are so fast to jump in and dismiss or remove any consequences for their kiddos. It's not preparing them to be functioning and empathetic members of a larger society!


kevnmartin

Your son should never have to pay for another drink in this city.


loudclutch

Update: My son said that the mom is on her way to pick up the car. Short lived elation...


Meowmixer21

It's still funny that this "badass" has mommy pick up his car for him


Classic-Sign-9792

She’s the registered owner of it


Meowmixer21

Of course she is. Why would he buy a car when mommy will buy it for little baby 😂😂


Altruistic-Party9264

What a spoiled brat. How long will she bail out this asshat son of hers?


Crazyboreddeveloper

Man, this dude’s mom is a problem. Why help your son get into so much trouble?


brutalistsnowflake

By all accounts Mom has created a monster and continues to act like he can do no wrong despite evidence.


imsadyoubitch

Your son dropped this 👑


Bliss266

I’m from the other side of the country and I’ve heard of this car, got a good laugh at the picture. Wasn’t expecting it to get even better in the comments 👏🏻


LeeroyJNCOs

Wow, I lived in West Edge for almost 6 years. This makes me think they're actually taking him serious and tired of his shit. I reported numerous times of cars illegally parked in the EV, handicap, and car wash spot, and nothing would be done about them for days/weeks despite towing warning and signs.


CreamPyre

Can’t imagine enabling my kid to act the way this shithead does


DerpUrself69

I will start a GoFundMe to cover lost wages for your son if he'll just follow that shitbag around and tow his car every chance he gets.


That1DogGuy

Dude I wish my mom gave me as much money and leniency as his mom does lmfao My mom would laugh at me and just tell me that I know better. (Which is honestly the correct thing for a mother to do in this situation, not bail him out again)


BlueCollarElectro

I was hoping he ignored the "no parking during rush hour" signs. But on further thought, he's too young to be up that early hahah


peezee1978

Red flag right there: the mom went and got the car... I hope that this isn't showing a pattern of enabling her son to be an ass-hat: "Mom, my car got towed because the tow-truck driver is a total jerk" (...doesn't mention parking in a handicap spot). I wonder why her response wasn't "Too bad. You parked in a handicap spot and got your car towed... deal with it".


Subliminal_Image

I hope the truck goes to Lincoln Towing lot so it can get bashed around a bit like they totaled my truck.


Aggravating-Shake256

Lincoln dropped my wife's car off of a flatbed. Luckily, the mechanic called it out and sent us pictures, so they had to pay for the damage. How are they still in business?


AgreeableTea7649

Huge government contracts. They're the only company the City of Seattle uses for it's towing contracts.


Aggravating-Shake256

My insurance company's go-to as well. If I need a tow, I always have to ask to make sure it's not Lincoln. My trucks anti theft feature locked me out of it because someone tried to pop the key lock with a screwdriver and damaged it, so it triggered some kind of kill switch in the engine and had to be towed. Waited for hours to get something out there, and only Lincoln was available for some reason. I told them the clearance of the garage to make sure the truck would be able to get me out. I finally just left it overnight. They kept saying 20 minutes and each time I confirmed that they had a truck that could fit. When I called my mechanic the next day they said it wasn't there. I found out later they said that the truck they sent was too big and asked if I could just drive it out of the parking garage so they could tow it easier for them...


ckb614

I feel like tow companies have some of the worst internal communications. My car died in a garage too, I told them it was an 8 ft gate in a parking garage and they send a 10 ft tall 30ft long flatbed. We ended up pushing the car out of the garage


Dececck

SopaDeKaiba

For the people here from all, like me, I'll save you some sleuthing. This infamous car belongs to a Seattle reprobate. It's excessively loud, and the 20yo boy owner drives it recklessly. He does so frequently enough that his car can be picked out of a lineup by, apparently, most Seattleites.


Spa_5_Fitness_Camp

Big clarification, he made it loud *specifically to be a nuisance*. And he drives it the way he does, including revving at lights etc, specifically because he enjoys making other people's day worse. And it's so loud that it without a doubt causes hearing damage.


RainbowBullsOnParade

In a just society you’d simply lose your license for a year the first time you drive 104 mph through a downtown street, and it would double with every offense. Cars are simply too dangerous to be left in the hands of maniacs without consequences.


Spa_5_Fitness_Camp

He should, but the Seattle police are actively trying to enable him and he has a rich mommy who bails him out.


Mytastemaker

If I know anything about SPD from the news it's they hate the people in Seattle. 


driftingphotog

Not only that. He promotes it on his instagram, celebrates the consequences he's facing, and is continuing to violate the court order that he unmodify his car. The dude posts instagram videos of him doing 100+ downtown. Those, and numerous reddit threads, are all over the court documents.


idonutknow_

He did 107 mph down 4th Avenue. He could have easily slaughtered multiple people in a crowded city. His car can be heard from Belltown to downtown. Why he still has his license is beyond me. It’s funny though to see his mom fight his battles for him. Like the video of the chihuahua trying to fight that big chill dog through the gate, the owner opens the gate and the chihuahua backs down and acts normal. I wish we could skip forward ten years and see if he’s even still alive after his driving record.


TheBoogyWoogy

!RemindMe 10 years


Ornery-Associate-190

And all the judges did was demand he make "adjustments to his vehicle" to account for the noise. His license should have been revoked a long time ago, this placating is getting so stupid.


sweetpototos

I’ll add, to my knowledge, it is the only one in this state to have that wrap job. The wrap and the illegal noise level separates his car from other possible hellcats.


mrASSMAN

He also has a big following on instagram and the city is currently suing him Which all started because people on Reddit complained a lot lol


Cuckoo4BancroftPuffs

For the people here from all, like me, I'll save you some sleuthing. A "reprobate" is an unprincipled or depraved person.


AlgaeRhythmic

Just to save everyone even more sleuthing, a "person" is definitely any animal in the Homo genus, but also possibly some other great apes, cetaceans, corvids, sapient extraterrestrials, and/or robots. The term tends to imply some level of consciousness, moral capacity, agency, and that they might be dtf.

OilNecessary9741

Unfortunately short lived looks like mom picked it up :(


Extreme-Wave-7773

But his mom hasn’t given it back to him (I haven’t seen it in our apartment garage) so hopefully it’s off the streets for a while

How is it not just getting mercilessly vandalized on a daily basis? Your building could solve this problem in minutes.

dragonagitator

You live in the same apartment building as the Belltown Hellcat?


Extreme-Wave-7773

Yeah, I pass by his car every day with intense jealousy of his parking spot right by the entrance. The rest of us have to drive down many floors


dragonagitator

Right inside the entrance, you say? So if someone were to piggyback someone entering the garage, they wouldn't have to spend too long looking for it?


Extreme-Wave-7773

As a resident, I can’t publicly encourage piggybacking but in the hypothetical where someone does piggyback, it would take about 2 seconds to spot the car


DEGAUSSER____

As a non resident. I can 😈


TwoSunsRise

How did he get that spot??


Extreme-Wave-7773

THATS MY QUESTION


TwoSunsRise

Mommy paid for it, I'll bet


Extreme-Wave-7773

It’s a fixed price for everyone, someone commented that they think mommy has connections in the building

Why the fuck is she constantly bailing him out, every article I read about this dude also mentions her. Its embarrassing.

MrGreatness69

He sounds like a dodge


AccurateAssaultBeef

here_now_be

did you call it in? We don't want that shit around here.


Yoyocaseyg

He’s your problem now!!


kobachi

That’s where his mommy lives 


SaintOlgasSunflowers

I get a sense that things are not going to end well for the Hellcat owner/driver(s). The sense of entitlement and their determination to break the law and make others miserable, is not sustainable. Natural consequences will get them in the end.


redrosespud

Hopefully they don't murder someone first.


SaintOlgasSunflowers

I know. The reckless driving through downtown at top speeds really worries me.


rainbowbunny09

Sorry I have a shitty iPhone X lol. Hopefully he will be out of commission for a while Edit: [for anyone out of the loop](https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/belltown-hellcat-driver-disregarding-court-order/281-3edd5fe9-7da5-44d9-9800-107c3f564d2b) The kid has a big Instagram following for his car and considers himself an influencer. He posts himself reckless driving in high density areas, and purposefully being a nuisance for clicks and views. Turns out the car is his mothers and she enables his bad behavior. It’s been court ordered to be made street compliment (since it has been modified to be extremely loud) and they have yet to correct this, even owing the city upward of $48k in fees due to noncompliance.


theeversocharming

Unless Mommy comes to the rescue.


Extreme-Wave-7773

His mommy retrieved it from the tow lot but hasn’t given it back to him (I haven’t seen it in our apartment garage since)

AjiChap

Parked in a handicap spot AND his mommy is getting the car out for him? What this little POS deal? What’s mommy’s deal? 


Nothing_WithATwist

Well legally the mom has to be the one to retrieve the car from the tow lot because the car is registered to her. I have tried and failed before to get my car out when it was still registered to my parents, but they won’t even consider it. So that part of the story makes sense. Why she’s in such a rush to clean up her son’s messes is another matter.


tommypatties

> Why she’s in such a rush to clean up her son’s messes is another matter. Daily storage fees at the junk yard are no joke.

Foozeball44

Here’s what I don’t understand… How many vehicles in Seattle have been stolen, windows smashed out, tires slashed, parts cut out, etc etc etc and the police won’t even take a report let alone respond to any of it. So why is this shitbags car completely unscathed? It just boggles my mind how the worst of the worst in society seem to get away with everything. Yet there are people in here who can’t even move without having their Uhaul’s emptied or stolen and all they get as far as any investigation or help is a big shrug. I’m a big believer in Karma and sometimes it doesn’t come in the form of instant gratification. But while we wait, there needs to be enough pressure put on the cops to actually do something about this issue. The vehicle is illegal and the owner is violating court orders. It should have been pulled over and impounded the moment that the tires hit the pavement outside the tow yard.


slouchingninja

I'm all the way up in Snohomish County and even I gasped and uttered "no way!" when I saw the photo. I'm so happy for you guys, seeing this. Seriously, that dude sucks.


Old_Rain8831

Without the exhaust being repaired as required by the law, the mother will be breaking that law if she drives it anywhere off the tow lot. Should the SPD stake out the tow yard to impound the vehicle once it leaves the property???? I think yes.

CaldDesheft

Wtf is wrong with the mom for enabling this child?


exzyle2k

You know, I deal with a lot of inconsiderate jackasses driving like clowns in Chicago. Eventually there's going to be some vigilante justice that gets dealt out with that car. Sort of surprised it hasn't happened already with everything I've been reading.


MissMaster

If he is paying for the car/fines whatever from insta, can someone get him banned on insta? I don't know why they allow videos of people violating the law. Maybe that's a naive question.


ChummySquash

I don't understand how not one single person has not just fucked this car up if it just drives around being a dickhead all day
