I was walking on a busy section in Hamburg, Germany when I saw this car been towed away. A belt was put under the car, strapped on and the car was lifted. These cars are illegally parked in this busy street and were removed to the police station by these car removers (for want of better word - understand they are under contract with the traffic department).
The owner of this car is blissfully unaware that his car is been lifted into the truck. He will come out to find it missing.
This young girl and her brother were working in a Sushi fast food shop. The commotion caught their attention and they rushed out to 'save' their car before it being towed away. Now safely on the road, the girl rushed to the shop to get some goods for delivery. Ha ha. You cannot fault their business instinct even at critical moments.
I was not so surprised by the fact that there is more than one tow truck as to find that they are of different types. This one placed a platform under the car, then hooked a chain to it and pulled the car onto the truck. Noticed the boy sitting on his father's shoulder giving his undivided attention. Maybe someday, he would want to be a car tower too. What fun!
This car is lifted into the second truck - another goner. If the rest of the cars parking there are not removed soon, theirs will hauled away too. See another truck waiting for the first to finish. They are serious about clearing the street in one go. In efficient Germany, be careful where you park your car - don't play play.
