Re: what happened to the Cato blogger, the same thing happened to me BY MISTAKE. My car was picked up by DC for "unpaid tickets". Problem was, they got the plate numbers wrong. Nobody cared.

It took nearly a week to locate my car and they still forced me to pay over $1000 of someone else's fines in addition to towing and storage charges (even for the period they were looking for it) to bail out my car. It took over a year of phone calls, mailing copies of my registration and car title, and an even an in-person visit to finally get the fines refunded.

In addition, the car was damaged by the tow truck - thank goodness my insurance covered the cost of repairs, minus my deductable.

Now, whenever I drive to DC, I park in a lot whenever possible, regardless of the cost. I would rather pay $20-$40 to park in a privately-owned, job-producing, taxpaying parking lot that let those clowns from the driver-hostile DC "government" get their hands my one of my vehicles.
