Here's the trick to not getting your car towed: Tow companies have a lot of liability when it comes to removing your car. Don't make the possible money to be made worth dealing with your vehicle. Park as close as you can to another car or light pole, put your parking brake on, and cut your wheels to where if they were to move it, your vehicle would hit something else in the process of moving it. They'll skip you 8/10 times and go to an easier car to tow.
