Get the facts straight
Hey all you drivers, I know your pain, but you do indeed need to get the facts straight....
Cars are towed for a reason. Tow truck drivers do not creep around waiting to tow cars. HPD dispatch calls the company to dispatch tow trucks to whatever violation occurs. Too many times drivers do realize that their cars are in VIOLATION and their anger is vented out on drivers who are only doing their job, per HPD!
Don't get me wrong, not all tow truck companies are honest and reliable, but do not group them all as Pr*&cks.
Just a hint, leaving your handbrake pulled all the way up just makes the drivers job alot harder, making the job harder, thus requiring your car to be dollied, which then in turn costs you much more $$$$$.

Our cars should always be dollied. Anyway I do know one place tow companies creep around. Ever see the metered parking by femmes? Yeah luktang knows what I'm talking about. They're like ninjas, no chances.

and yes i would be pissed too if this happened to me. *knock on wood*
