I want my car back!

Usually I never forget to pay my bills, specially when most of them are automatically payed via electronic deduction from a checking account. But, for no special reason, I pay in person for car parking... and I never thought I could cause so many problems!

Unfortunately, last month, I forgot to pay. Well, I went to the car parking two days after the deadline... only to find out more problems. The parking management, for security reasons, had called the police to tow my car... even without calling me!

The parking is very close to the city hall, and because my car's licence plate is still portuguese they took security measures and removed the car out!

In result, I had to take one day off work in order to go to the police. Accordingly to them, I was lucky, because they were about to "gently open" the car and search for "threats"!
After paying **** euros (censored! eheheh) and filling a dozen forms, I managed to arrive home almost at midnight!

I hope I wasn't flagged as terrorist! :-P
