Drivers Park Illegally In Handicap Spots, Parking Lot Grinch Saves The Day


While it was certainly a tough day for the drivers that had their cars towed, they also could've avoided that unfortunate, costly development if they'd just been a bit more considerate, and played by the rules. What a "ballet" kind of scene that must've been, when all those tow trucks and cop cars showed up. Parking Lot Grinch shouldn't be too hard on themselves.

Text - Just an extra tidbit, both my kids are now adults and both are disabled. Prior to this incident, I had never thought much of being disabled. Now l'm a full-time advocate for the disabled!
