There was once an emergency medical flight coming into the hospital I live next to, but someone noticed that a person had parked dead center of the helipad.

The hospital was undergoing some construction, and the crew was on site at the time.

To my understanding, nobody saw what happened and no cameras caught it, but the car miraculously ended up about 40ft away from where it was parked, with orange-yellow paint scraped along one side and heavy equipment track imprints in the grass next to the pad.

The helicopter was able to land, and someone had to decide whether they wanted to admit to blocking the helipad and try to blame the construction company for damages, or let it go and drive around with a big dent in one side of the car.

A couple years ago, a landscaping company decided to park their truck fully blocking my front stairs (like 2" from the railings, on a yellow line and fully on the sidewalk because the road is a narrow one way road.

I called the police when they refused to move it, and they said theyd have someone out in 45 mins, which wasnt going to work because my mom had a post- op followup for her leg surgery.

So I called the Fire department. Told them a truck was blocking one of the 2 egresses to my house, and the only one accessible to my mom because of a surgery. They had a crew out in ~5 mins.

3 guys climbed over the truck, they broke the windows on both sides, and passed a hauling strap through the cab. Then they used steel bars to roll the truck over onto its back, and used the strap to pull it fully out around the car parked in front, for the waiting tow truck.

The landscapers had come back after the windows were smashed, but were told it was too late, and 'not to worry, the boys could use the practice!' by the supervisor, who was timing the whole thing. Took them less than 5 minutes from arrival to clearing the road. They even swept the glass from the road and helped me get my mom down the stairs and into the car for her appointment.
