Park illegally in Paris, which if you lived there you would have to do often, and this is how your tiny Euro-spec crapcan will get towed. No messing around with fork under the wheels or dramatic flatbed roping. The tow truck just pulled up next to the veedub, erected the crane (Beavis voice – “hehe, he said erected” – w00t, Beavis and Butthead are coming back!), one guy rolled the straps under, secured, and lifted. Bam. The whole process took about three minutes.

I've been in Paris. Some of those roads are way too narrow for a tow truck to drive down. It's an interesting idea, probably developed out of necessity.

Brilliant! Great idea, especially considering the size of the roads and cars.
