Busters is crooked. In fact, many of the bylaw officers will be the first to admit it.
There is a fire hydrant across the street and I see Busters hook up cars all the time. Just a couple days ago they hooked up a TL from the back wheels and dragged it 6 - 7 while still in gear. Then he dropped it, turned around, hooked it up again from the front, and drove off without disengaging the e-brake.
The problem is worse than you can imagine. Often when drivers tow illegally parked cars, if they damage the car while towing or hooking it up, they'll simply pull over, leave the car on the street, and mark on the paperwork the vehicle was "gone on arrival".
Consider buying an AWD vehicle. They are towed the least because drivers are too lazy to install dollies and would rather tow something easier. If you have AWD and are ticketed for parking illegally, it might be 2 or 3 tow trucks that drive past before one decides to tow you.
Bottom line: If you have a nice car, never ever ever ever park anywhere where you think you might even have 1% chance of being ticketed and towed. That's the best advice you can take.
