I think their point was that the SUV was struck by debris from the scaffolding that collapsed in the wind the other day -- vehicle owner couldn't catch a break, apparently

I get it, and I feel bad that this person's car was damaged, but somethings up here. They wouldn't have ticketed a wreck, and it doesn't look damaged enough to need a tow. BTD is not psychic and cannot tell if that seemingly minor damage was caused by a building collapse and they should give them a break or if it was preexisting. Correlation is not causation. Also, it is residential parking with a sticker and sometimes street cleaning there as far as I can tell, so I wonder what exactly it was ticketed for. If you were parked illegally then I can't really feel bad for you. However, the cynic in me thinks they may have been advised not to move it
