Resident reporting for private lots
A phone call you can actually dispatch on.
Somebody is blocked in. They find the sign, call the number, and try to describe a car to a dispatcher who cannot see it. Misparked replaces that call with the plate, the photo, the exact spot and the time, sent straight to the company already under contract at that property.

Misparked
What changes on the lot
A small plate on the post, under the sign already up. Nothing gets reprinted and no new post goes in the ground. One code and one number on every plate, and nothing to sign up for.
What arrives
This is the whole job. One link, no login.

Nothing to install and nothing to log into: the dispatcher taps a link in a text message.
If you tow
Stop driving loops.
Patrolling burns hours and fuel hoping to spot something, and the worst trip is the one that ends with the car already gone. Get sent to a vehicle that is actually there.
For Operators →If you run a community
Give residents a real channel.
They already call the number on the sign. Misparked makes that call complete, and leaves you a record of what was reported and what happened.
For Communities →If your car is gone
Find out where it went.
If it was towed from a property using Misparked, the plate is enough. You get the lot, the address and the number to call.
Find My Vehicle →How a report gets made
Two ways in, and neither needs an app.
The QR code on the plate opens a page that turns on the camera. The photo and the phone say which property, and the resident confirms it, so nobody types an address.
Or send a photo to the number on the plate. Same report, same place it lands, for anyone who would rather not open a browser.
The photo is read for you
Plate, state, color, make and model come back already filled in, and anything that was not legible is left blank rather than guessed. The reporter corrects what is wrong.
The location is more than an address
The photo and the phone's location say which property, the reporter confirms it, and a space or building label says where in the lot. When a lot is big enough that a space number is not enough, the reporter drops a pin on the exact spot.
The number behind it is proven
A texted link, tapped once per phone, before the first report. Misparked holds that number and never discloses it, to the towing company or to the vehicle owner. What the operator sees is a track record, not a person.
Nobody is paid per tow
Not Misparked, not the community, and residents are never paid for reporting.
Where Misparked is running
A field pilot in Wake County, North Carolina.
Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Garner, Holly Springs and Wake Forest: seven towns inside forty minutes of each other, each with its own rules about how a removal is reported, and apartment communities on nearly every arterial road. Misparked is being set up lot by lot with the operators who already hold those contracts, which is the only way a report reaches a truck that is allowed to take the vehicle.
