**Note to non-Chicagoans:**  
The Lincoln Park Towing Co. (immortalized in a song by Steve Goodman called the “Lincoln Park Pirates”) is a notorious outfit with a reputation for _ **SCREWING THE PUBLIC!!!** _  
Those dirty BASTARDS! They got me! Didn’t even take them five freakin’ minutes. Boy am I pissed!  
They got me at the Kmart on Lincoln & Devon. The Kmart went out of business so I figured nobody would care if I parked there. But nooooooooooooo. They must’ve been waiting around the corner. I think they had spotters in a van that was parked there.  
It’s a good thing that Mrs. P works close by. I just walked over to her job and had her drive me to Clark and Lawrence. From the time I parked the car to the time I picked it up was about 40 minutes. Fastest $125 I ever spent.

And I didn’t even get kissed. :mad:
