Each car is parked in a different Cambridge street cleaning zone. The order of street cleaning for Cambridge in August 2008 is C odd-numbered side of the street, B (odds then evens), A (odds then evens), E even, C even, D, E odd, H odd, F, G, K even, H even, J, K odd. Taking the first initials of the car models, ordered by towing date, yields CAR THAT IS A T REX SINGLE, or JEEPSTER.
