[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3487772, member: 10690"] I parked in a bank parking lot in Dallas (actually Arlington) one time to conduct a little business at the bank. I beat closing time by about 5 minutes. Transacted my business, they unlocked the door and let me out. I'd driven from Muskogee that day and hadn't eaten, so I walked across the parking lot to the restaurant next door. Literally walked over about a 3' grass median between the curbs. It was on an access road, and I couldn't go left into the restaurant parking lot cause it was a one way street, and it was only about 20 yards to the front door, so I just walked across the grass. Ordered an overpriced burger and a beer, ate, paid my tab and walked outside to a missing company car. I was pretty sure it had been stolen, until the little hostess told me she saw a tow truck hook up to it. Took me about 3 hours to locate the right tow yard. $70 cab ride over to Ft Worth, and then they wouldn't let me have it because I couldn't prove ownership. Cost me $250 for the tow and a $70 cab ride, and I had to grease the little gal working the window with another $20 to get her to let me have it. Having the key convinced her it was mine, but I think the $20 is what sealed the deal. Bank wouldn't help. Shouldn't have left it there, but those dudes must have started cruising posted parking lots about 3 minutes after business hours. There was a line of tow trucks waiting to get into that yard when my cab pulled up and it was only about 7 pm. Mine was on a flatbed, and they had another one behind mine on the ground. Business was booming and they were dealing in volume. Probably served me right for making the bank employees stay after closing. Fairly expensive lesson for me at the time. [/QUOTE]
