Another reason why we should all ride razor scooters to work. Anyone? Anyone?

Yeah those guys are no joke. I accidentally left my car on Wilshire in Koreatown past 7am one weekday morning about a year ago, and had to pay the Viertel's towing company $184, and then pay the city of Los Angeles its ticket fee (I feel like it was an $80 ticket, but can't remember--where's the good ol' LA City Nerd when you need him/her??). And I was pretty broke at the time too.. :(

They need people on Nordhoff, right next to the CSUN campus. Supposedly it's a tow-away zone due to anti-gridlock measures from 4pm to 7pm. I take night classes and there are always cars parked there well after 6pm. Sometimes they have tickets, sometimes not. People will start to not believe the signs if they don't face consequences. And it really DOES slow down traffic to have to merge back into the center lane when you think the left lane will be free and clear. I've seen the same issue on Wilton (between Melrose and Sunset), and even on Ventura in Sherman Oaks in the am. LaBrea is covered already. I forgot and left my car parked outside Best Buy once past 4pm and it was towed so fast. Of course, not only did I have to pay over $100 to get it out of impound (less than an hour after it was towed), but the City of West Hollywood slapped a $40 ticket on there. No wonder WeHo seems to have so much money.

So when will the Cougar Team be deployed?
