Car problems in Motril, Costa Tropical
The Comisaría de Policia building in Motril has recently been receiving further criticism from nearby residents and those visiting the area, and this time it is not connected to the previous complaints concerning NIE and Residence Certificates. One local resident told us that he had parked his car on the free dustbowl car park next to Motril Radio station to do some shopping. On returning to his car, he couldn’t open his car using the remote key and therefore couldn’t get into his car. Thinking that the batteries in the remote might have given up on him, he went in search of new batteries but even with new batteries could not get into his car. He then contacted a garage who sent someone out to the dustbowl and the problem was solved. The new Comisará building has had a frequency inhibitor installed in the building as an anti attack measure (to stop remote devices being detonated) and apart from disabling car alarms and locking systems, it is now such a problem for the 1,500 residents living near to the building on some days that they are not able to use any remote devices in their homes either (although possibly less arguments over who gets control of the TV remote). Carlos González at the Comisaría says they are now working on finding a solution to the problem but it does appear the frequency of the system is changed regularly so depending on the day you park you may or may not have problems.
