Parking lot scam

 

My husband and I encountered a scam at a private parking lot at 1302 NE Second Ave. We’ve parked in this lot for years with no problems. Recently, however, we paid the attendant, put the receipt on our dashboard and locked the car. Upon returning our car was gone. We contacted the police, but there was no record of the car being towed so the officer completed a stolen car report. The next day we were notified that the car had been towed.

This experience will not deter us from enjoying future performances at the Arsht Center. However, patrons should be cautious; look for signs which indicate the parking fee and attendants who wear identifying shirts and have a ticket book. The Arsht Center’s website has useful information, including lots available for advance purchase parking vouchers.

  • Schools undercut

    Re the May 20 column by Myriam Marquez, State shares blame for school woes: Marquez honestly addresses how thoughtless, imbalanced and inconsistent the state’s leadership has been since declaring an all-out assault on public education. Her question “Is the point to strengthen public schools or to destroy them?” needs a definitive answer.
