Finally, the elusive Jamaica Plain parking bandit has been caught! Our office over the years has received complaints from residents whose vehicles were vandalized by the alleged perpetrator. Councillor Tobin and the whole office is grateful to the outstanding police officers from E-13 who apprehended him. We have invited them to come into the next Council session on June 8th to be recognized for their great work.

A self-appointed traffic judge who allegedly meted out street justice by vandalizing cars in Jamaica Plain for everything from expired stickers to parking violations was arrested yesterday after he was caught on camera keying the side of a police decoy van.

It was graying security guard Robert Feest's love for the law that was his undoing, officials said.

Cops say Feest, 44 - dubbed the ``Parking Nazi'' by local residents - has been terrorizing the Boston neighborhood for years with his ruthless respect for auto etiquette - imposing his punishments while out walking his dog.
