Towing for 48 hours, does it actually happen?

So I know about the 48 hour rule, but the 311 messages lately were the first I've heard that you can be towed for it.

So I was wondering--does this ACTUALLY happen to people? With no warning? I need to leave my car for 60 hours (plus another 12 hours on a holiday) and I'm okay with the possibility of a ticket, but towing--is something they just hypothetically can do, or has this actually happened to anyone who wasn't using the street as super long-term storage?

I think it depends on your neighborhood. I've left my car in the same spot for almost two weeks (literally only moving it on street cleaning days) during the summer, and have never had a problem. However our parking situation is such that the spot I usually occupy isn't really in demand by anyone else.
Also my landlord is a cop, so it's entirely possible that I am enjoying residual cop-benefits and have an unrealistic experience.
