Talking to a cab driver today
This is not gospel, just what he said. Happened to a cabbie mate of his.
If you can get into your vehicle before thay lift/tow it thay cannot lift it/tow it. public liability/Health & saftey.
They have to release it.
Anone had an 'experience'?

That as I understand it is true - ie they can't lift/tow the car with you in it as they may F up & injure you & that leaves them open to massive law-suits etc etc (better to kill you )
However, don't get over excited if you take this course of action as I remember the guy who owned a brand new Porsche Turbo who was just about to get towed away whilst parked o/s Capital Radio (Euston Tower) in the 80s ( rush hour too ). Jumped in the car when it was 2ft off the ground, started up (4ft) and tried to drive off ( ). Ended up doing major damage to his car and caused several hours of traffic chaos as the Marylebone/Euston Road came to a halt! Chris Tarrant was watching this from his studio & reporting live.
LOL
