I would be funny to park like that and have a hidden camera set up record the tow truck trying to get the car out

What would even be funnier is putting a car in there with a forklift or something and then filming how the driver tries to get out.

There does appear to be a skid mark leading to the front wheel. This must be odd hurricane damage.

Do they have cars like that in Florida? Or hurricanes in Europe?

What's the guess on that model?

Looks like a practical joke to me.
