Safe bet that the driver of this vehicle was at the Yellow Hook Grill (in Bayridge) right accross the street, not on any errand of mercy for the BSSP (Brooklyn South Safety Patrol Shomrim - Boro Park) I don't know why, but that grill tends to attract placard abusers. Either that or there is a statistically unlikely frequency of emergencies within 20 yards of their front door... Especially around midnight (as in this case) when nothing else around is open and parking is hard to find.
