Neighbor's car just got towed out of the fire lane. Those fuckers are FAST

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

A few moments ago I heard the tow truck idling. One of my neighbors regularly parks directly in front of their garage door...parallel to and right on top of the giant red & white pavement stripe that says "FIRE LANE - NO PARKING." They do this 7 days a week...at night they park the car on the street (we only have 6 parking spaces in the townhouse property common parking, and residents aren't supposed to use them). First thing in the morning she brings the car from the street to the front of the garage.

Someone apparently busted her. (NO, smartass, it wasn't ME. I feel like justice was served, but it wasn't me).

:evilgrin:

The guy sat in the truck for a moment, scoped out the place, turned it around, backed it up to the car, lifted the winch, strapped on the tires and drove off. It REALLY was a literal "gone in 60 seconds" scenario. He kept one eye on the car and the other on the woman's front door. He left without being detected.

Note to self: Never park in the fire lane (I don't anyway, but after today, I REALLY won't).

1. VERY fast

There was an article a few month ago about "predatory towing" where drivers would wait all night at apartment lots a day before someones tags were set to expire and at 12:01 they would tow the car. Tow truck drivers are paid per tow so a lot will wait till someone commits even the slighest infraction to tow thier car away. Personally I think they should just pay them a decent wage, then most of this crap will be donw with.
