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?

Same thing happened to us in our neighborhood - last year a car was parked for a month or two in the same spot. But to top it off, it was parked a good solid two and a half feet from the curb - making it somewhat difficult far larger cars to drive down the street past it. It took several weeks worth of calls to get the darn thing towed.
