There were temporary, paper no-parking signs posted because they were going to do some overnight street patching, and the Lexus and several others were parked there anyway. The tow truck was a blue City of Chicago truck, and the driver's ONLY priority was to remove the cars as fast as possible. The driver spent all of three minutes hooking up and towing away the Lexus. |
Not too uncommon contempt of the public sector for private property, hm?
Over here and in Moscow, where I spent my last couple of years, they use only flatbed trucks with cranes. They are more careful, but they still dent and scratch cars.
