Three or Four cherry pickers with police detail on Park ave

Not sure whats going on the techs are yelling in the street and keeping me up. The have three cherry pickers up at the moment with on on standby and an officer is blocking the road. It's 12:28am. Kinda odd.  Maybe they do upgrades in the middle of the night?  I can't tell if it's telecom or cable.

How long til they tow??

So, there's now a booted Prius next door to my house. It's got a lovely 8.5x11 sign saying Do Not Move This Car due to too many unpaid parking tickets.

For a city that is short on parking and that bitches if you leave a car in the same spot for >2days, booting a car in to place really seems like they're laughing at the rest of us.

How long til they hand it over to the ever-despicable Pat's? (Yes, I think the parking regs are mostly crap, and I hate when my car gets towed, but really, making sure it doesn't ever move? Is that fair to the rest of us?)

[ETA, at 3:06pm: It's gone. I didn't notice a tow truck, but who knows... either it's been towed or a lot of money was just paid to the parking dept...]
