FDX-parking

Fedex must have bought a towing company

Starting Monday, improperly parked vehicles are going to be towed off-site with some financial repercussions

More harrassment, The fees are outrageous. It's too bad they aren't capable of anything postive.

I wonder what constitutes "improperly parked"! What if I have a note from my mechanic?

Another Contract negotiations distraction? Suspicious timing?

What if my car "landed" at the wrong airport by mistake?

So I guess the chuckleheads that make their own spots at the end of the row might have to walk some now. It might reduce their BMI to 39 so there's that

I've seen plenty of cars on the diagonal hashed lines that designate the separation between the parking spaces and the drive lanes, and quite a few in the drive lanes themselves. I think they qualify as "improperly parked". Hey, why bother driving to a real parking space when you can park 10 feet away from the gate?

Frankly, I think those individuals make us all look bad.

BUT ... the timing ... that's another story.

Can you say "abandoned?"

If "improperly parked" is defined as 3+ flat tires and/or a giant weed growing through the bumper, then I say go for it.

Some of the primo spots have cars permanently "parked" in them.

Ditto what Tony said: they make us look bad.
