Car should be towed and the owner should pay a fine of 1% of their income+wealth, stocks and bonuses included.

You could use the value of the car as a base. Untill if the car is worth nothing then tow its annoying but so id waiting for someone to come back from whatever. but if it's a cybertruck tow it then 1% if new would be $1000 plus lot, tow and admin fees.

Raise that to 5% minimum

It's a cybertruck in the snow, at this point it must be mostly rust, you try to tow it it'll just break apart.

That's way too hard to calculate

Just make it a percentage make value of the car.

Though, considering I had a car that I bought for a carton of beer (the fuel in the car was probably worth more than the beer), you might want to say a minimum.

That car was amazing. A Suzuki baleno for those who are aware, key had snapped off in the lock so the car didn't lock, started the car with a bottle opener and I could take it anyway
