One time I parked illegally for ten minutes, and when I came back to the spot, not only was my car gone, but another car was already pulling out of the space my car had been towed from. Oh, and they broke the lock on my car when they towed it. But they paid for that. Actually, the bad guys aren't really the tow companies -- they have to be that vulture-like in order to make any kind of money, since the city takes almost all the money. In the end, they actually lost money on me because what it cost them to fix my lock was more than they got paid by the city to tow me. There's an expose in there, I'm sure. Jackson?</p>
