    There are people “drifting” there cars in that parking lot almost every night of the week. ECSO needs to get their act together and put a stop to it, if I have personally seen it 3 times in the past month, there is ZERO chance they are not aware.

    Sounds like to me this guy possibly was trying to find a place to maybe sleep in the heat created by the big trucks or maybe there to feel some safety by being around these trucks just my opinion
