Got my Car Towed, didn't I?

The thing is, it wasn't blatently clear, though of course, when I looked after, it is!

D'oH!

Anyway, the real question is, how the hell do I know that it hasn't been nicked? I mean, there's no note, nothing saying "Hey, dude, we've got your car, huh, huhuh, huhuhuh!" No phone number to call.

Not like you can call the fuzz and say "So erm, I'd like to report a stolen car, unless it's been towed. Can you find out for me, oh gowan, please!"

So I guess I'll get a letter in the post in a week or so, so instead I'll call some towing places around Welly. It's a bit shitty actually and I have no idea how much it'll cost me. Wish my car was crap so I could say "Just keep it, it's yours!"

I want my dragster back (those of you who have actually seen the car understand what I mean by that - it's one hot metal machine I can tell you).

Anyone had their car towed before, or know what to do? I have no idea.

Update: 2007-04-23 09:54 - So it got towed to Barnett St by Te Papa. Looks like I can just go pick it up (with a fine attached to it). I asked Wellington City Council, who put me through to ParkWise. I can't find an outside number for them though. Wish I'd have known all this last night. It sucks big time.

Update: 2007-04-23 14:16 - Got the car back. $110 it'll cost me. But that's only $40 for the fine, a dastardly $70 for the tow around the corner. I'm in the wrong job :-)
