  I disagree with this. That's putting them to a lot of hassle to be 
 nice to people for little benefit, especially since most people would 
 simply ignore the notes and keep parking there until you towed them. 
 The above method assumes people are fair and reasonable, something 
 experience has shown us isn't often true. 
  But I also think Phil is missing that the tow driver did kidnap 
 your car - it wasn't taken back to the yard because he would have had 
 to report towing you and give *them* the money. It's clear from his 
 methodology that he wanted to keep things off the books and pocket the 
 cash.
