Our second car was parked for 9 days next to where we live, but out of sight. Law says can only park 48 hours in one place, but not a problem unless someone complains. Someone complained, for no reason we can think of (plenty of parking in the area.) We went to load the car with supplies for a big annual event we put on, and...no car. Had been towed almost a week previously. Figured it out a day after the event during biggest snowstorm in several years. Towing, ticket, storage, incredible hassle for no discernible reason whatsoever.
