There are many more cars parked illegally by a shade-tree mechanic on Capell. Sometimes up to 20 cars of German make, mostly BMW, Mercedes, and VW. We would like to have this stopped. There is no parking for parents or disabled nearby because he takes up so many spaces. He is not interested in cooperating. You can tell the house because there are four German cars in the driveway. He parks them on Cleveland, Capell, Prospect, Spruce, Alma, and other nearby streets. I think he's a hoarder.

The City of Oakland Call Center has referred this issue to OPD ABANDONED AUTOS, PUBLIC. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).
