I work in heavy highway construction in the Philadelphia, PA area.
When we mill and/or pave a street in Philly we have a team of tow trucks that relocate vehicles in the way, PA law allows for it, we post no parking at least two days prior.
Some tows require a little more skill than others ...

And now... comments about Apple; this site states --- Apple Isn't Your Friend
Apple has been steadily positioning itself as the anti-Facebook for a while now, and between verbal jabs aimed at the social media giant and privacy-focused product decisions, the patient goodwill campaign seems to be working.
