R.C also added this excellent story... "Four of my friends and I went on a little 100 mile road trip to ride our BMX bikes in Phoenix, Arizona. I had just installed my rack and we put four bikes on the roof and one in the back of my Scion xB. The day was perfect, we shredded the gnar all day and had a great time. When it was time to leave one of my buddies asked if we could go downtown to eat and have a drink at the bar. We all thought that was a great idea. When we got downtown there was no place to park. We searched and searched untill we finnaly found a spot. So I locked the bikes and we went in and had a couple drinks.

Well the drinks and food were so good that we ended up spending all the money we had left exept for gas to get home. We said goodbye to my friends sister and walked back to the car.... But the car was gone! It had been towed because I parked in the wrong spot. There was a small sign posted like twelve feet up and none of us saw it.

We then found out that we couldn't get our car back until 9:00am the next morning. We ended up sleeping in the streets. The next morning we had to take cab like thirty miles to where they said we could pick up the car. This costed us $30 that we didnt have. So we get to the towing company headquarters only to find out that we had to take another cab to where the car acually was. This was another $20 we didnt have on top of the $160 tow bill. I asked the tow company to give me a ride and they said "no way".

Finally we get to where the car was by 11:00am the next morning and there was no one around. So my friends and I being really frustrated and upset decided to hop the fence to see if there was anyone there. Maybe we had the wrong entrance to the yard or something. It's hard to think straight when you havent slept. Well there was no one around to help us and we did not know what to do. That's when the cops showed up and arrested us! We shouldn't have hopped the fence. Luckily the tow guy showed up and got us out of the buglary charges. After this all happened we were able to barely make it home on what gas we had left at around 3:00pm the next day. Moral of the story is: Don't ever get your car towed while on a road trip!"
