Why did you tow my car?

I parked in the wrong place. My girlfriend told me where to go, and for some reason, I wasn't paying attention. I parked in Gentleman#49A's spot (310 S. Jefferson) at 5:45pm. At 9:30pm, Sheree and I go for a drive in her car, and I casually looked to where I had parked. No Tahoe :(. 45 minutes and $180 later, I had the car back. I asked nicely for #49A to pay for half. He said no ( I probably would, too).

Here's the deal. If someone parked in my spot for a few hours, I would leave a note on his car. 49A has seen me park in Sheree's spot before, so he could have left a note on Sheree's car. He could have called management. He could have knocked on doors ( I did to find him). No need to call the two company after two short hours.

Before telling him that this would be reported to management, the security company, and Placentia/Anaheim police, I relayed my concern that petty differences often escalate, and I didn't want him to worry about credit reports, or power being shut off, and I didn't want me or my girlfriend to worry about loose lug nuts or damaged automobiles. I was upset, it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

Origin of species says
1) I won't park in his spot.
2) He will think next time before calling a tow company.
