Yard Sale - Illegal!!!?! |
March 27, 2007 10:01am |
A few weeks back Andy, Emma, Jeff, Tiffany, Briana and I all put together a yard sale at Andy and Emma's house. We all had some stuff to get rid of and we didn't feel like posting it on Ebay or Craigslist. So we organized, got a bunch of wine - and made an evening of imbibing and making funny signs for our yard sale that weekend.
The next day (Friday) Jeff and I drove around Hollywood putting up the signs. Saturday we had the garage sale, we sold a bunch of stuff and were done by 1pm. We went and played golf and BBQ'd. It was a fantastic day.
Fast forward a month ahead, Jeff calls me this morning to say Emma just got home from a trip to NYC and she found a fine in the mail from the City of Los Angeles for posting a sign on private property. The fine was for $194.00 and requested a court appearance.
WTF! We didn't post our signs on anything but electricity polls where we had seen signs in the past. Whats even worse there could be more on the way. Jeff later heard from a friend that it is illegal to have a garage sale in Los Angeles - because they want you to pay a tax for anything you sell!
Not much more to this post then that - but for real who knew! This is insane. Next thing you know it's going to be illegal to BBQ without a helmet! |
