This tries to give the impression that cars are being towed for no reason - "In either case, the car you left legally street parked at home is the last thing on your mind—until you return a couple weeks later to find it’s gone." The only specific example given of a legally parked car involves the author's car getting 2 tickets on consecutive days, both for expired vehicle inspection. The author does not say the car was towed, which would be an odd omission given the topic, so I feel safe in presuming that their car was not towed. There's other discussion of jurisdictions that will tow for unpaid parking and/or traffic tickets, but nothing to support the impression this leads with. Legally parked != legal vehicle, and being legally parked does not create a shield that prevents other laws from being enforced.
