You want to try dealing with tow truck companies then :-).
I visited one today to 'give them a chance' to behave 
decently.
All very friendly and polite but no joy.
I had little hope that there would be.
My son and friends had a car towed a few days ago from a car 
park, when they had an authorisation ticket from a 
restaurant - BUT it didn't apply to that space - BUT it was 
impossible to tell. $200 for a perhaps 2 mile tow plus 
having to wait 30 minutes plus for them to turn up.

I'm hoping the mayor, tv "fair go" program, local MP, ... 
may be interested. I suspect it's run as a honey pot money 
maker. We'll see.
I rechecked the signs before visiting the tow company and am 
certain of the impossibility of telling which space is 
"safe" to park in.
Needless to say I have copious photos of the scene of the 
crime :-).
