Just to clear up any doubt, what kind of street were you parking on and how long was the car left for?

I believe you, but I have family saying that you left the car on a busy street for a month straight.

Welp, looks like we found who called the rmv.

Just to clarify, I have one uncle who lives on a street where the locals normally have to circle for like 30 minutes to find a spot. It’s not a big deal, but I could imagine an out of state license plate parked for 30 days would be frustrating.

Fair question, the street I was mainly parked on was definitely not that busy or tight on parking! And I wasn't parked in one spot the whole time at all, not even always on the same street.

OP's visit happened in October. The car hasn't been there for five months. Why call the RMV about it now?

Why would the RMV have evidence of anything if it wasn't reported?

Not sure where summer is coming from. It was mid-October to mid-November, and I didn't abandon my car or anything - I came and went throughout that time. I got one parking ticket near downtown crossing which I successfully appealed due to confusing signage, and a street cleaning ticket which was paid on time (I moved my car 20 minutes late, obviously that's on me).

It would make a lot more sense if I'd done something obnoxious with my car, but I just honestly didn't.

Also, if I had received a ticket for "excessive non-resident parking" or something, I would have been frustrated but understood. And if someone had said something to me about it or left a note, I would have happily parked on different side streets on different days, I definitely had no intention of causing issues for anyone.

It's the registering my vehicle in 2 states with 2 license plates that's the issue, especially since my insurance company says that they literally can't give me MA insurance since I don't live there.
