    but really.. what can you do about her legally??
    If the driver/owner is not a resident then management can serve a no trespass notice and then the Police can be called to charge/arrest her. That of course depends if the Trespass To Property Act even exists in your Province.

    unfortunately.. she is a resident with an indoor parking.. but she probably has 2 cars.. she said, towing once is 85$, towing 100 times is 8500$.. buying an indoor parking spot is 25000 $.. and she isn't going to be tow 100 times in a year...
    she even said.. she can get mile points for paying the fees with her credit card.... she is all for it...

    what can you do against a jerk like this...

    Keep towing her. It'll get so inconvenient she'll eventually quit.

    You would think the hassle of constantly retrieving your car from impound and the cost would deter her? And she justifies it compared to the cost of a parking spot?! Doesn't that go against your record, as like parking tickets?

    Give your local police a call? I'd imagine it is a ticketable offense.

    Really. I've had one car impounded once (broke down on the highway and they tow it after 2hrs here! I didn't the fee a ton, but the time to go get it (get someone to drive you there) is a big pain in the butt IMO.
