As for the OP, sounds like just another opportunity for both the government and tow companies (both upstanding and trustworthy industries) to get some money and to keep people in debt while stranding them wherever they happened to be. It's going to hurt the poor the most who don't have $500 + whatever the tow fees are + the Uber/cab to get home + likely taking a day off from work to take another Uber/cab to go get their car back.
Here's my main issue with the law, it punishes you for the criminal acts of another. Is it monstrously irresponsible to leave a visible gun in a parked and locked car? Yes. Does that make you responsible for the criminal who then decides to break into your car and steal it? Hell no. This is part of the trend for the modern left, abdicating personal responsibility and putting it on someone else. Guy hoots up a school, it's not the guy's fault, it's the store that sold him the gun, or the manufacturer of said gun's fault. It's literally an insane mindset.
Unfortunately, it goes hand in glove with the current left's demonization of the criminal justice system. It's systemically racist, it's a tool of white supremacy, "school to prison pipeline", and the myriad other examples of this mitigation of criminal conduct and personal responsibility.
