Won't work in California.  If you park in a Handicapped space without either
a placard from the DMV, or special license plates, you will be socked with
a big fine AND be towed away.  I make a point of turning these creeps in.
At least one major store here in the bay area calls tow trucks regularly.

Disabled folks hava a hard enough time as it is, let's not make it any harder 
than necessary for them.  Special parking spaces are a minor courtesy much
appreciated by my disabled friends.
