Car towed; lesson learned

A cautionary tale for those you in northern Virginia, Arlington specifically.  I got up Saturday morning, threw my bike on the car rack and drove down to Lyon Village Shopping Center.  Custis Trail runs right behind it.  I was going to go for a ride, and then drop off my dry cleaning, visit Big Wheel Bikes, and maybe grab a few things at Giant.  I got back about an hour later and my car had been towed.  I read the posted signs as two hour parking for people doing business at the shopping center.  What I didn't read so closely was a sentence that said you may not leave the premises.  My fault but very annoying.  I have driven down there before and rented a bike from Big Wheel Bikes and then been gone for well more than two hours.  Guess I got lucky then.

Hopefully someone will read this and not make the same expensive mistake I made.
