Yeah that’s totally what happened. The first time I took 280 to 95 to go around it, then today I was stubborn and went towards it cuz that’s the way my friend had showed me and I was confused why it took me the other way and I ended up in an even worse detour all the way down to Pulaski on side roads. Thanks so much I knew something was up.

Yeah idk the apple app is so wacky. No matter what I do it won’t use the Wittpen bridge.. even if I add it as a stop it goes to one side turns around goes back to Kearny then up to the other side.. like how? Why?

Fun fact the name Sloppy Joe, for both sandwiches, came from the same Cuban restaurant. Some people had memorable ground beef sandwiches from there which caught on as a ‘Sloppy Joe’.

As for the NJ version, a politician went down there and the same restaurant served a bread, cheese, and meat spread where people made there own sandwiches. He came back up to Jersey and asked a local deli to supply a similar spread. It caught on (very locally) especially because Jewish delis already made a similar-ish sandwich.

So there both names Sloppy Joe for the same reason, yet there completely different and not even closely related sandwiches. Couldn’t be more Jersey if they tried!

Ok idk what your trying to say at this point.

Yes, only certain insurances cover theft.

If your insurance DOES cover theft, it covers it under basically any circumstance then fraud. Leaving your key in the car on accident, or your car running by itself longer then you thought, etc are among the most popular causes for car theft.

But my first point stands.. insurance covers stupid people too. It doesn’t cover malicious people who are trying to defraud them, but just being stupid doesn’t bar you from coverage.

Okay but your acting like it’s a bad thing that crimes like this are taken out of the towns hands. Doesn’t make any sense. Think about all the fucked up shit would be enforced if towns were allowed to write major legislation and then uphold it in court? Every town would have a block of powerful/rich residents that would be passing and enforcing laws that just serve there interests..

What do you mean by ‘the towns’? Judges adjudicate these things, not mayors or citizens.

There’s a reason we have (hopefully) unbiased third parties making the decisions. Obviously if the people most worried about this crime were the ones making the rules they would throw the book at every one who peeks in a window in there town. It’s a GOOD thing individual towns or blocks of citizens don’t have control over the courts.. not a bad thing.

That’s simply not how these things get adjudicated. Never has someone been let off because they stole a car but said there intended to ‘just move it.’

This isn’t going after car theft per se because the people that would violate this ordinance haven’t stolen anything yet. There’s a reason we have a burden of proof. Every person who peeks thru a window shouldn’t be charged with car theft ..
