Talk:Trapito

Non Neutral Article
The description of Trapitos is based in a sensasionalist journal. Their activity is legal. Damage of cars after no paying a trapito is extremely weird outside Buenos Aires city, while the car-keepers are present in all the country. Damage of a person or a car usually means for a Trapito loosing his chosen spot, stealing never happens. 97% of complaints about trapitos are distesteem by the police by lack of evidence, and most of the them ocur in the wealthiest neighborhood of Bs As, Palermo. There is no "tax" for trapitos except in wealthy zones of the capital. People usually pays them small tips when they leave with the car. Tips are for finding parking spots in extremely car populated zones, watching after the cars and usually cleaning windows. I'm Argentinian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.10.64.238 (talk) 15:18, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Merge to car guard?
It seems that this article, franelero and car guard are all about the same phenomenon in different countries. (Other language versions of Wikipedia give some additional local names and details, e.g. es:Cuidador de automóviles, pt:Flanelinha, it:Parcheggiatore abusivo.) I'd like to merge these into car guard, which appears to be a reasonably common English term for the practice. Things seem to be pretty quiet here so if nobody squawks fairly soon I will go ahead and boldly merge. -- Visviva (talk) 05:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
