Dear All:

I need help. I parked my car in a paid parking zone without payment by mistake. I came back after a couple of hours to find my car missing. It was midnight. and weekend. What should I do? I live in al khobar area, Saudi Arabia.

What about contacting those responsible for towing cars parked without payment/the local pounds to see if they took it.

Thanks I went to Mawgif impound parking lot on Mansour Street, 3rd corss, Alkhobar. There was my car :). But the fine is hefty. 130 for the car towing and 50 riyal fine per parking violation. It appears that the previous owners of the car had committed 2 violations before me... so i ended up paying 280 riyals :(

Really...forget to pay your parking fee in California......the towing charge...800 SR and the storage fee....900 SR....and the ticket....100SR.......so consider yourself lucky and pay the parking fees......upfront.

Lesson learned!!!
