FR-S Won't Start - Starter / Alternator (?)
Got out of work went to my car, it turned on fine and I started to leave... I reached into my pocket thinking I forgot my phone so I shut the car off, walked about 10 feet and then realized my phone was in my backpack...
When I went back to my car it wouldn't turn on...
When I turn the ignition all of the lights on the dash come on, headlights work, interior lights work etc., but I hear an incessant tapping noise and the car won't crank... I tried jumping the car for the hell of it and still had the same issue.
Though when I did leave the car and come back it got a little gas before the ticking noise started and the car failed to crank again...
Is this a starter / alternator problem? Anything I can try while standing in the parking lot?
It's 10:00 pm on the east coast so I'm pretty much resigned to leaving the car in the lot for the night...

Also - forgive my lack of knowledge but... would a standard towing company have a tow hook / be capable of towing a FR-S?
Or would I have to invest in a tow hook first?

edit: I have a quarter tank of gas...
