But the irony is that the city isn't getting much of anything for these vehicles--at least not "officially". Indeed, in a sane world taxpayers ought to be able to file a lawsuit on the basis that the city is acting against people in a manner which diminishes revenues (if someone owes $500 of parking tickets on a car worth $5,000 and the city sells the car for $250, the city will sacrifice $250 by stealing the person's car).
Of course, it may be that city officials get an undocumented 'cut' of the cars' resale value, but that wouldn't help the city's budget any.
No doubt about what is going on here. The public 'servants' couldn't care less about the city budget. I'm sure the owner of the towing service and some of his contacts at the city are living large.
