Towed away

Every Sunday at about this time I hear a clattering across the road. It’s the tow truck, come to cruise around the car park across the road. They pretty much always catch someone parked illegally. I think they choose this time because there’s lots of people in desperate need of a park – whether to attend the church behind the car park or get their cheap pay with cash only vegies at the market down the road. I try to keep a watch out but other than seeing the odd person come back during the tow process and having a dingdong with the guy (and still getting a ticket to pay the tow fee), I’ve yet to see someone come back to stare at the empty park where they left their car, or at a different car in their spot and see what they do next.

And it’s so totally amazing how those tow truck guys can break into a car, regardless of make or model, in like 2 seconds.
