Lada is indestructible. Ours, called Hilda (short for Brunhilda) lasted 25yr, the top rusted away but everythinng else stayed solid. We were on a years long waiting list for it.

So, let's say, the tow trucks gets called. Who gets charged for this? The person who is parking at the wrong place? Or the one who called?

Isn't their payment reclaimed in the cost of removing the wheel clamp?
If a tow truck gets called and the offender runs out from the shop, seeing his car is being towed. Does his car really get towed, like I saw in the US or CA, they just didn't budge an inch, and towed, then the offender paid. Or, the offender jumps in the car, says will never do it agian, nobody has to settle the trip of the tow truck? Do cops come as well? (back home it's cops who call the tow truck, the wrongly parked person gets the parking ticket and a bill from the tow truck company, just not sure how it's done here)...

Oh, I get your point. I mistook towing for wheel clamping. In London I used to see cars getting towed away all the time! I have seen people legging it to their car, doing a sit in so that the tow truck drivers couldn't move the car, and the police being called.
However, the car is usually towed to a pound, where a (normally huge) sum has to be paid for the retrieval of the car, some of which I assume goes to the towing company.

That's the pain...according to the policeman I called (Kantonspolizei Aargau), it is the person who calls the tow company that is responsible to settle the bill and then needs to reclaim it from the person who was at fault... I can see how that would go down.
I guess the sequel is a Betreibung and a meeting with the Friedensrichter to sort it out.
It's amazing that there isn't an easier way to deal with this.
