My car almost got towed!!

So my friend and I went to a Scentsy meeting up in Layton. We met at the old Lowes in Sandy. I saw no parking signs, but hey those never apply to me! I figured, we wont be long I will be fine! When we were getting back there was a tow truck hooking up my car! AHH! I was freaking out. I ran out of my friends car and asked the guy what I had to do so he wouldn't take it. He told me it would cost 80 bucks! I tried to write him and check and oh no, they only take cash. I asked if I could run to the ATM and get some. He said he would give me five minutes. Just my luck, the nearest bank didn't have an ATM and the nearest gas station's attendant wasn't there. We finally found an ATM and when we got back he had my car loaded ready to go! (I think we were gone eight minutes) Needless to say my car didn't get taken away, 80 dollars later and I learned a great lesson!
