Once when I was living in Brooklyn (that was an experience-- I waited for over 2 hours at the tow yard, and realized I forgot my credit card at my apartment. I had to go home and do it all over again the next day), and once when I was in college and parked at a friend's apartment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136812 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:34:25 +0000 MrsBrewer 1136812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for breakdowns </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136800 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:29:48 +0000 betsyboop 1136800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm super careful when it comes to reading street parking signs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136783 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:23:19 +0000 MaisyMay 1136783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for breakdowns.

He ended up having to pay almost $150 bucks to get his car back. I felt awful and tried to pay it since it was my fault, but he wouldn't let me. Thankfully we were able to laugh about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136452 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:48:05 +0000 avivoca 1136452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just for breakdowns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136418 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:39:00 +0000 kjpugs 1136418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I parked at a church once before a school event and it started snowing, so I walked home instead of driving. I went to get it the next AM and it was ON the tow truck. Somehow........ I managed to talk it off the truck!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea how and it was one of my finer moments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136387 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:32:41 +0000 Smurfette 1136387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It was in college, a friend called to say that they were about to tow it. So I ran out there, and the guy was a total jerk. He said that since he started the work, even though the car wasn' on the truck, he had to finish it and I couldn't move. Then made me open the car and take off the emergency break (I always pull it up). So I followed my car to the impound load in a friend's car. I got my money back from the city because I also had my boss write a letter saying the no parking signs weren't up for 24 hours like they were supposed to be, giving notice. I had just parked there the night before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136367 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:26:31 +0000 jmarionsmith 1136367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes and it was one of the most frustrating days of my life. ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136358 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:25:13 +0000 Mommy Finger 1136358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only once while I was vacationing in Scotland with 3 of my friends. We didn't know that we parked in a handicap spot. The sign was super tiny. We actually watched as this big claw thing picked up our rental and put it on the truck. We tried to plead with the cop that we were just ignorant Americans but he wasn't buying it. A cabbie saw the whole thing happen and waited for us. We actually got in and were able to say "follow that car!" Looking back, it was quite a hilarious situation. But boy was it costly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136354 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:24:19 +0000 lemondrop 1136354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for anything illegal, just for breakdowns. </p> <p>In fact I just had my husband's car towed to the shop about 10 minutes ago since it's not working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-car-ever-been-towed#post-1136353 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:23:47 +0000 sunset840 1136353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh yes for street cleaning while I was living in Jamaica Plains, Ma.
