[s-cars] Extracting your car off a parking curb (was Need PN's or ??)

[Padanneo at aol.com]

Same thing just happened to me at the local KaMeApaRT. Wasn't lucky enough to 
have help to get it off. Well, I broke a few clips on the center lower grill. 
I got the name of the manager who would be responsible for the parking curbs. 
I've got a call into him. Just waiting for an answer. Anyone had any 
experience with this sort of issue? Can they be liable? I've got a witness.
Thanks,
Paul
