Grumpy old man in me coming out, but how TF isn’t parking enforcement the number one finder of stolen cars?! It’s a simple database linkage in my mind

It’s even worse than you think. One time my registration expired while my car was missing (it’s been two weeks and insurance was about to pay out on it) from having been stolen. MPD impounded and then forced me to pay for all the tickets AMD the impound fee in order to get it back. Almost $2000 in ransom later I had my stolen car back.
