That copper in Rebecca's story is getting a kickback from the towing company for fees they get to collect. This happens, they steal cars from parking lots and she did nothing wrong and the guy commented about so many cars having been towed that same day.
Those that abandon the nets DON'T KNOW just how BAD this is for their karma, and NOT just their OWN, but their children and family because you're KILLING fishes NON STOP 24x7. THINK about what you're doing. You've left something extremely dangerous for the wildlife under the ocean that KILLS life NON STOP for the REST OF YOUR LIFE and well after you're DEAD. EVERYTIME a fish or wildlife DIES because of your net "someone" is taking a note and let me tell you how Karma works. There comes a time in your life or family member when an emergency occurs and you feel "trapped" and "can't get out" no matter what you do (kinda like how the fish feels thanks to your net). Eventually, you will keel over. That's how Karma works. HOW DO YOU UNDO IT? Go clean up that NET _NOW._ Not a moment too soon. And if you can't find it, GO CLEAN UP OTHER NETS to make up for it. From scale of 1 to 10, KILLING (for fun or no reason) is ranked as the worst kind of karma and it accumulates fast.
