Brooklyn Under Iowa Invasion

Image via vanquishall.tripod.comLet’s face it; we see some pretty weird stuff as residents of the crazy capital of the world. Now, according to concerned Brooklynite Joel Siegel, you can add another phenomenon to the already long list—a sudden increase in Iowa License plates. I mean, fire up the presses.

Siegel, a Ditmas Park lawyer, maintains that something just ain’t right on them there streets. Okay, I’m sure he said it much more eloquently, probably with a few “I objects” and whole lot of “I hold you in contempt."  He’s fit to be tied because a slew of corn growing, cousin lovers are making parking in his quiet neighborhood even more difficult.

Convinced that there’s a conspiracy afoot, Siegel contacted the Iowa DOT, the Iowa Insurance Division and a handful of NY government muckity-mucks providing them with 20 Iowa tag numbers to check into. The official replied, “Are you fucking kidding!?”  I’m paraphrasing. 

In addition to serious whistle blowing, Siegel has done his own detective work, naming the nearby 25 Dollar Rental Car as the main suspect in his case.  He believes that the car rental company may be registering cars in Iowa to avoid NYC’s high insurance rates—not a bad idea…

It’s hard to say exactly how this tantalizing tale will play out. Word to the wise: Before you go all Police Academy 2 and make a citizen’s arrest, be sure you have all the proper evidence for your Iowa conspiracy theories, or any for that matter. And please—don’t put corn in anyone’s tailpipe. Not cool.

Have you noticed any Iowa license plates in the Slope lately?
