'Twas the Night Before... by redy4et

'Twas the Night Before...

Took a tour of the beautifully lit homes in the area and this one was my definite favorite! That was the highlight of the evening because when we returned to our car, it wasn't in the convenience store parking lot! It had been towed and impounded for being there 1 hour and five minutes - five minutes past the 1- hour limit. Ended up walking home in the dark - about 4 miles- then driving another car to bail out the impound. Next year, I'm riding my bike.
What a terrible experience. I guess the meter maid was not in the Christmas spirit. Gorgeous picture though.

Oh no! that's terrible, what opportunists they are! Obviously no Christmas spirit at all. Beautiful image though.

Oh poor you, I hate when that happens. I had some heavy parcels to post and had to make three trips to the PO. The queue each time was LONG! As a result I over ran the parking time and gt fined for my troubles I could have appealed it but if I paid within 7 days I only had to pay half price!
I love the picture. It's shame they profiled your pleasure by impounding your car. Sometimes I think it's a money making enterprise!

Way to go Scrooge.....that really sucks, and I cannot believe they are being such opportunists by targeting people during such a hectic and busy time! They say the thieves are out during the holiday season and to protect your house and your car, but they don't warn you about the parking enforcers!! What a horrible experience.....I hope your holiday season got better after you sorted that out!

Oh, BTW, this is a lovely night capture of the holiday season.....I will miss all the lights when it is over.
