Yeah, but also sooooooo many people who plan to have their baby(ies) at The Midwife Ctr end up having them at Magee anyway. I know quite a few women who that happened to, and one who wasn't able to get the nitrous because there were too many women in labor at the facility and they ran out of tanks 🤷

I asked a few questions about impounding these if you find them on your own private lot. You can definitely impound them and charge a storage fee as long as you follow state law found here:

Towing operation and storage: https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/li/uconsCheck.cfm?yr=2012&sessInd=0&act=110

Private parking lot: https://www.pacodeandbulletin.gov/Display/pacode?file=/secure/pacode/data/067/chapter212/s212.115.html

Your local municipality may have additional policies for impounding.

The key is you need to have visible signage, clearly marked private parking spaces, and have a policy for storing and releasing vehicles.

It seems that unless people are leaving these in the area designated a parking lot where the signage is posted that it may be hard to impound these the same way you would a motor vehicle.

Must be! There was one in my off campus apartment in college (which is funny bc that place was so cheap the fridge door literally couldn't open all the way because kitchen was so small, like a sub 300 Sq foot apartment) back in TN but that must be an outlier. Most of the places I'm looking at now aren't particularly nice or new, I just never really associated it with being something fancy

If I was a landlord, I definitely would not install them. People, tend use them to dump all of their food waste down a drain, leaving a costly plumbing clog for someone else to clean up.

Edit, I have a friend who is a master plumber, according to him you would be amazed at what people dump down a disposal without a second thought.
