 I sound like a teenager?  You broke the rules and are not accepting 
 responsibility for it.

 You got that right.

 Signs were posted.  They said that cars can and will be towed.  There 
 is no surprise here.  What's unfair about it.

 No!  I accept the consequences for my own actions.  If I get a ticket 
 for something, I don't complain that the cops should've been chasing 
 killers and rapists.  I accept the fact that I got caught; you should 
 do the same.

 The best way to combat these 'unscrupulous practices' is not to give 
 them reason to tow you.

 A sign was posted.  You ignored it.  You got caught.  You have no 
 legal leg to stand on.

 Apples and oranges, here.  Apples and oranges.  This thread is about 
 how you parked illegally and how your car was towed.
