Saw it -- good publicity. A neighbor parked in mine the night before my Mom
died, I came home from hospice not knowing that the car belonged to her. I
don't pay attention to which vehicle belongs to which neighbor. At midnight,
I wasn't about to go knocking on doors, which I was not able to do anyway. I
called the non emergency number of the police department and tried to explain
that there was no close place for me to use as an alternative, and that I
wouldn't be able to get to my own home. They said they wouldn't tow the car,
but would issue a citation. I had to go back to hospice to sleep that night.
The next morning I got home to see the ticketed car, but there was a very
close place open so it wasn't an immediate problem. A few days later, I
found a note on my windshield from the "perpetrator," and that's how I found
out who did it. She explained that she was very sorry, and that the reason
she did that was because she had post traumatic stress disorder.
Whatever.
