It's a Homeland Security car parked right in front of a hydrant last Wednesday, at Folsom/18th in the "abandoned warehouse" section of the Mission. And look, there's another one in the very same spot on Thursday! And get this: the same car is parked in that very spot today -- only the driver managed to inch up so the car's only barely in the red this time. Well, one legal parking job out of three ain't bad, right?

We were going to try to think of some witty, pithy, wry observation to make about this amazing discovery, but gave up from sheer boredom after a few seconds. Civil servants sometimes bend their own rules? ORLY? Scintillating.
