Obviously, agents of NYC are aware that this car is abandoned, but instead of calling in a tow truck, they keep issuing tickets... I guess it helps them reach their ticketing quota with little effort.

Sometimes there appears to be very little differentiating NYC from third-world corruptocracies.

This example would fit well in our Public Transport category, but I placed it here because I think it is indicitive of a larger contempt for common property.

Because the authorities have made it harder to spray paint graffiti on subway cars, some attention-seekers have taken to using sharp objects and abrasive materials on the coated glass on subway windows.

I guess some might argue that scratchiti is art... Make your voice heard on our Message Board.

This is a pamphlet vending box at the train station in Rye, a suburb of New York, in Westchester County.

I checked this box for a couple of weeks before taking a picture of the mess... It appears that the box is abandoned, and no one takes responsibility for the filth that is dumped in it.
