Saw someone towed while a person was in the passenger seat. Well they hooked it up and were just waiting to lift it, as they will not tow with someone inside. Approximately 5 minutes latter the driver came out screaming and hollering. To bad, so sad. They were both in a handicapped space with no permit "and" using the parking lot for a business across the street despite what the warning signs say.
Willing to bet that was the most expensive pizza that couple ever bought.
I stopped a guy from towing my car once. It was 2am in an apartment used mostly by students at Sacramento State University, there was nobody parking in pretty much the entire parking lot - except for me. But I didn't have a permit. He had the cable hooked up to my axle when I found him, and I told him to stop... he said "not until you pay me $180." I said "Not gonna pay you, and you're not taking the car either".

Got him to disconnect it for $80. Fuck that guy. I know that money went straight into his pocket, too.
