    I live on a narrow 1 way road, which unfortunately means cars tend to park all the way up on the sidewalk, generally an inch from my fence. (Which gets smashed once a ywar on average, but thats another story) One day someone decided to park over the yellow line, completely blocking off one of my houses 2 exits, and the one I needed to take my mom out to get her to a post surgery follow up. I tried to get the landscapers to move the truck and they refused, so I called the local FD, explaining someone was blocking my house entrance off.

    They had a truck full of firemen over there in like 10 mins, with those steel breaker bars. Smashed the windows and passed a rope through the cab, Then climbed over the truck, rolled it over with the bars, then attached the rope to their hitch so they could drag it out and clear for the waiting flat bed wrecker to pick it up.

    The vehicle owner had come back out after they smashed the windows and tried to move it himself but the fireman in charge wouldnt let him. Told him it was too late, and his guys ‘needed the practice’
