SLOWER THAN THE DMV! So pissed! Some A-hole stole my license plate a week ago off my vehicle, right in front of my house. Called 311 to report and get info on what to do next. I was told to go to a station and file a report just in case. First off they are only open Monday-Friday 9-5 to file a report. Not convenient when you only have 1 weekday off a week.
I walked in, got my number (18) and sat for over 2 and a half hours to accomplish NOTHING! They were on number 10 when I got there. In the first hour they had only gotten to 13, I was 18. They closed their doors at 4:45 because they were short staffed and didn't want more people coming in. A lady asked the 5 of us I'm the first waiting area if we were registering guns or filing a report. She told us they were short staffed and couldn't stay a minute after 5:00. That they might not be able to get to us. We could write out a statement but there was NO guarantee we could file a report. I'd already been there over an hour so oh hell let's see how this goes.
We'll at 5:25 (remember they couldn't stay a minute after 5:00) my number gets called. I go to the window and the lady asks what I need. So I tell her why I'm there. Not much story or detail to a stolen license plate. She tells me that she couldn't file a report because it would take too long. Something about inputting it in the computer and emails blah blah blah she lost me at no. WTF I've sat here for over 2 hours and you can't help me! She offered me a line pass to come back another day. As I ripped the paper statement I told her I didn't have another weekday because guess who picked up an extra shift on her weekday off next week. Yup this girl.
So Bring a book, a tablet or fully charged phone. You'll be here a while. And I hope you can complete what you came in to do!
