You can if you have a tow truck and it wasn't a flatbed. In Philadelphia last week we watched from our restauarant as a tow truck pulled up behind a new 7 series, hooked up his lift under the rear axle and was gone with it in about 2 minutes. And it was legal, the poor owner was at a movie across the street and time had expired on the meter...we watched the cop right the ticket and call the "thief" (That's what they are, sorry). A valet park guy stood right next to it as all this happened. On the way back to our hotel I asked him why he didn't put some change in the meter and got this response: "It's not my job to keep some rich SOB from having his car towed". So now I know how much it costs to be a good guy or an asshole...25 cents.
