Not true. I have a friend of mine (who is also an occasional poster on this board) who had a motorcycle impounded for parking tickets. He said "screw it, let 'em keep it" (the tickets were worth more than the bike was) and eventually the city sued him for the cost of the tickets, fees and storage charges (which were substantial) minus the cost of the bike they got sold at auction (which was minimal).
Where money is involved, don't ever underestimate the resources or willingness of bureaucrats to figure out new and innovative ways to thieve it out of the working populace.
