Double Parking in Attended Lots and Garages
Attended lots and garages frequently use double parking to maximize vehicle storage density. A driver who double-parks in an attended lot leaves the vehicle's keys with the attendant. If the driver of the blocked car returns first, then the attendant can move the blocking car so that the blocked car can leave. This practice is especially common for valet lots, in which attendants have the keys to all vehicles.

Like stolen fruit;

Her last poet mute:

The victors divide;
Half for freedom strike and stand;—
The astonished Muse finds thousands at her side.”
