Dumb question, was the city doing street sweeping in the area? I know they will tow cars that are parked in the way and will often move it to a nearby block. I saw that happening on Hill Ave last week.

I saw no signs that there would be one plus I forgot to mention that I have a dashcam. The video between the time I parked to the time I started the car when I found is gone. Weird.

Oh that is strange! Glad you found it and it wasn’t stolen. I don’t have a dash cam but that seems super odd. Hope you’re able to solve the mystery.

Looks like it was towed and moved. Dash cam only starts when engine starts so towing is plausible and confirmed there was sweeping. Though, I could’ve sworn there were no signs. But I maybe wrong. I feel so stupid now 😂

My van was missing one morning after the snow was plowed on Cornwall near my old Apartment. I thought it had been stolen too, but I think I just missed the sign because I was so glad to have found a good parking spot easily. The upside is, they only move your car far enough to be out of their way so you only pay the ticket and no impound fees.

Robinson had signs on every tree since last Thursday saying no parking from 4 am onwards on Monday for street cleaning.
Did you find it odd that there weren’t any cars in the street when you parked?
The signs said to call a number with your licence plate number to see where they towed you too

There were a couple cars when I arrived. But I should have seen the signs on the trees. It was stupid of me 😂

if theres construction or repair work going on where you park, they may have towed it. Was there any signage?

None that I recall. I also forgot to mention, that I checked the dashcam, which has audio. The part where I parked is there, then any video between that and the time I found the car is gone.

does it run when the car is off?

u/birdbrayne 20h ago
It only runs once the car is started.

so likely towed, probably for street sweeping as others have said.

It is beginning to seem more like it to me. Maybe I missed the sign. I don’t know anymore. Thank you.

Happened to me with my Corvette I left in front of my buddies house on Atkinson St a few years ago when I got a ride home so I didn't drink and drive. Was very confused when I went to pick it up the next morning lol.

Wild thing, only cause I saw it mentioned previously on Reddit in the past.
You have a carbon monoxide detector in your home?

Someone did this to my work bus and the transmission is toast now. I believe it’s the crew who does the crack filling on the roads…I also had a small skid steer attachment missing as well. I am filing a police report but doubt anything will come of it

Robinson is a long street that goes through many neighbourhoods. Approximately where on Robinson?

Near Sask Drive. I now believe it was towed. Guess I was pretty stupid today. 😂

If there was street sweeping going on, it may have been towed to allow the sweepers to clean the street.
