Question about being towed

I live in an apartment complex where they tow if you don't have a parking permit which I happened to lose and I am worried about being towed. If I park by backing it in will that help any? Or if I turn my wheels all the way to the right? I have a test tomarrow morning and I can't risk getting towed tonight. Thanks for any advice or help.

Cant you call the apartment's main office and explain what happend? See if there is anything they can do for you until you can get a new permit.

I don't think you'll have a problem unless all the spots are filled and someone with a permit starts to complain. Then the complex will call a few tow trucks and round up those without permits, but what are the odds of that?

My daughter lived in an apartment complex that towed every night, just because.... You do not want to back in! They will then tow with your drive wheels on the ground.

Yes, but they will put your drive wheel on individual 'dolly's so that they will roll.

Yeah, I was thinking about that at lunch. Don't know what I was thinking when I said that.
