Review: Living In Emergency
"OUT OF SERVICE" was also spray-painted by hand all over the side windows. They really meant it. It must still be an official vehicle. I mean, before they would re-sell a sheriff's vehicle, wouldn't they do a little more than that? Maybe it was the most ingenius car thief ever. He could just spray-paint "NOT A STOLEN CAR" and hey, no questions asked.
So this vehicle is temporarily out of service and they really want you to know it. You had better stop getting carjacked, because dammit, you are not their table! I can only imagine they would be this weird and intense because it's being driven by a civilian. Maybe it's right off the lot. Or maybe Louie is taking it in to get a new transmission. And Louie does not want to have to risk his life save anybody. Not for 14 bucks an hour.

In certain areas, police cars are sometimes left unattended (by the police) as a theft deterrent. For instance, store parking lots, etc.
Think about it... if you're a criminal, would you commit a crime with a police car parked nearby?
Maybe this car was tagged by unsavory types because they knew the officer wasn't in the vicinity.
I think the light-bar cover says it all... OUT OF SERVICE
It could be a movie prop car, too. When moviemakers use locally-badged vehicles, they're required to mark them conspicuously as "Out of Service" when they're off-set.
(In which case, that's probably not spray-paint, but, rather, soap. A bar of soap makes an easily-washable marker.)
Ahhh, I didn't know that. Looking at the hand-written words now, it definitely looks like soap (or something similar). The lines are too narrow to be spray paint, I think.
Good call!
