He stated that he thought somebody stole his car. He was right somebody did steal his car. This should have been a criminal matter not a civil matter. Because they own a tow truck shouldn't give them a right to steal your property or your money legally
That is exactly the problem with law enforcement's rationale. If all that is needed to make a tow lawful is that a tow company came and did it, then that amounts to a declaration of open season on vehicle owners and drivers with no criminal consequences for the tow operators so long as it is that type of theft. It is a strong incentive, certainly in the tow operator's best interest, to steal as many vehicles as possible regardless of any supposed cause for doing so. At the least, even if the vehicle has to be returned, they still get the fee.
He should receive several thousand dollars for his time, trouble and expenses, this kind of crap is nothing but common criminal activity...whats the difference between this an someone strong arming a possession from another and making him pay to get it back?
California corrected this predatory practice years ago. Now, a responsible person, manager, or property owner must sign the tow yards impound invoice, and the tow operator must contact PD with the plate of the car they are towing. Then they must wait an hour after the request for impound before hooking it up. Blanket towing patrol contracts with businesses, allowing the tow company to indiscriminately patrol parking lots and make their own decision what to tow, were also outlawed. This is the type of legislation EVERY state should adopt.
@@lightworker303 Also, in California it is written into the law that if a vehicle is towed illegally, and proven in civil court, the judgment would be twice the cost of the towing, storage, and admin fees. It keeps reputable companies honest. Not so much for towing bandits, as we called them. Colorado should look at the time delay aspect.

They did the same thing to my brother's mini-truck. Police had it towed, so me and my dad went to get it out. It was there for maybe a week, and they wanted $500 to release it. My dad had the money in his pocket, and we looked at the truck and it was almost destroyed. It was stripped down, no radio, no parts, no way. My dad was incredulous at the whole scenario.

The owner of the Apartments goes by the place maybe once every other 3 months. And if they see a car or vehicle they don't like, as in if it's not 100% perfect and makes their feelings get hurt, they tow it off the lot until they come back again in 3 months.

This happened to me in Denver a few months ago. My car was towed from in front of my house. Had the police called at the tow place as well and they wouldn't do anything. I had to pay 350 to get my car back. Enough is enough with this bullshit
They get away with it and if our law makers don't do anything to protect us citizens then they are a part of the problem. Make these companies accountable. Make it a criminal offense. I was towed once from my apartment building, I had my parking sticker visible but the tow driver said that he was too short to see it, then he said "I have a family that I have to take care of"...so essentially he was stealing my vehicle for money.
Your car was stolen, due to the type of action, it was just done by a towing, that's how they make money, but good that you sue them, teach them a lesson,
Sue the ceap out them. The company unlawfully takes property that isnt thiers. Not only is this not considered theft, it in addition the company wants hundreds of dollars to give back the unlawfully taken property.
They did the same to me. I was going to work, and my car was gone. I called the police, and they told me it was impounded. I found out my apartment manager had ties to a local impound lot, so I put 2 and 2 together. I was pissed off, because one, my tags were legal, and two, I missed work. I was born in December, but someone took the one off of my tags to give them extra time on their own car, or truck. But both the manager, and tow trucker both missed the expired December at the bottom of the tag. I call the impound lot and told them they stole my car, impossible they say, so i tell them to check my tag more, telling them my tags were good for another ten months. She comes back a few minutes later, and tells me I'm right. Bring my car back that you stole, and she says she can't. Your tow truck took it, and he can bring it back. She kept saying she couldn't. So I had to call someone I knew to pick me up, and drive the 30 miles to the impound lot to get my car out. I should have, and could have sued the manager who had the ties to the impound lot. I'm sure she was getting a cut from the money she was providing the impound lot. But all I got was a month's rent free. Oh, and by the way, this crooked manager tried to make it up by sending me a move out fee later after I moved out of the complex. I just laughed and threw the letter away. What a dishonest way to run a business. The complex sucked. They didn't even have jumper cables to help start a battery. The maintenance man was banging on my door asking me if I had jumper cables. I ask him didn't the manager provide that for him? He said no, so I told him he needed a new manager to work for. She was so unorganized to say the least.
@@danielsebers671 Seriously, if the car is legal, and they took it, I would call it grand theft auto. Call a lawyer, or if you can't sue them, get a month's free rent. The complex, and towing company scratch each other's back, or should I say profit off your wallet. It is very costly to get one's car out of impoundment. They wanted over $150 from me, until they found out what they did, then they kissed my a##. I never got one apology from either one of them. The manager avoided me like the covid crisis. She was rude when I moved, never looking me in the eyes, and just giving one word responses. Once she found my address, she sends a move out fee. There was no fee in my rental agreement, and I still want to confront her about that, but she will only toss me off the premises, or call law enforcement, so I consider it not worth it, especially the likes of her. Good luck with your situation! My girl would have cried her eyes out if they did that to her. Some places warn you if they will tow your car. They did that to me where I moved to my next apartment. At least my car never disappeared on me, plus the complex was gated. Still, the complex can give those drivers the code to get in, so be careful, and know what is going on.
@@jiogcyihsugyiocjfdoivhphvw6821 Wow, what a gaslighter you are. You have a profile name of a drunk person. And, you don't know anything about Johnny Cash.
There has to be more to the story. Normally, the restaurant/bar calls the tow company vice the tow company just coming around towing cars. My hunch is that it was a busy night with no parking. Someone called the tow company claiming they work at the bar and said that "X" car is parked illegally. Car gets towed and there you have it, free parking space.

I would go after Charlie's as well they are responsible for allowing elite towing to take this man's vehicle so they are complacent in the theft of an automobile and it all charges should go on to them and when they start losing customers because of it it's on them
This dork sounds like one of those people that got towed, and then went into the business to get a receipt, saying he was a customer. I have been in this industry for a long time, it’s not anything new for customers to play games like that.
Lol sue both the police and the tow company. I thought the way the law works in this country is innocent until proven guilty. He is clearly innocent and still has to prove himself to the thief. Lol..how backwards can this be?
The tow company booted my car this morning without any notice, even though I have a parking permit and parked in my designated spot. I've tried contacting them by phone and email, but haven't received a response. They are demanding more than $300 to release the boot. This situation seems suspicious, possibly a scam protected by legal documents.
He Went to the business, paid for services, get illegally towed and then that business probably get a % from the tow company.. because I didn't hear the business he was at talk speak up or fight for that victim.. or it was edited out
Wonder what the people that towing company would think if the guy would hire another towing company to tow the personal vehicles out of the towing owners driveway Wonder what would happen 🤔
And if you don't Jane that cash on hand to get your car out that day then they add on $75-150 everyday it's left there so if you have to wait a week to get another paycheck that's the $350 + another $525-1,050 on top of that initial $350 depending on the tow yards fee, and at that point you can never get your vehicle back and then they take ownership and sell it. I've had something like this happen to me in Texas and down there your average wage is around $8 an hour so your fucked.
This happened to me at JFK airport Ny.I went to drop off my kids and just got out of my car and went to say goodbye inside for five minutes and my car was gone .😢

I dont park in a place where I know Iam purposly parked wrongfully. Let me break it down for Rule breakers that do it then cry when they have to Pay Up. I dont park by a fire hydrant I dont double park , I park correctly not hogg one side making hard for the next car to squeeze in I don't park in Handicap and " run in quickly" I sure don't park in a apt complex in SOMEONE else spot who they paid for that spot and say " well ppl do it all the time so why can't I" yeah thoes ppl I dont park in a apt complex in a NON visitor section when I am a visitor I don't park in spaces that belong to another business ( has tow signs) and use thoes spots when I go to a completely diff business. Oh, News and City dont forget to show all thoes Rule breakers running after their cars when they are getting towed..Cause chances are u don't see non rules breakers running after their cars no they are sound asleep no worries cause they comply... But yes, there can be a mistake but out of 20 ppl all 20.are crying doubt. They get busted they didn't want to follow rules and they get busted and don't want to pay up just like they didn't want to flow rules..

Good. Here Shitigan..The towing companies are doing the same thing and charging people up to $800-$3000 to get their vehicles out.
This dork sounds like one of those people that got towed, and then went into the business to get a receipt, saying he was a customer. I have been in this industry for a long time, it’s not anything new for customers to play games like that.
So explain how he had receipts from his bank with times?
It also isn't anything new for tow companies to "steal" cars knowing most people will roll over and just pay.
If he was parked legally his car was stolen. No ifs buts or maybes. So is a criminal matter.
Elite towing does that a lot. Ive driven people to the tow yard on york st on their birthdays. They keep spotters for this
Lol sue both the police and the tow company. I thought the way the law works in this country is innocent until proven guilty. He is clearly innocent and still has to prove himself to the thief. Lol..how backwards can this be?
That's totally whack! Elite Towing my ass.
He left the bar out of suit thier parking lot
The tow company booted my car this morning without any notice, even though I have a parking permit and parked in my designated spot. I've tried contacting them by phone and email, but haven't received a response. They are demanding more than $300 to release the boot. This situation seems suspicious, possibly a scam protected by legal documents.
He Went to the business, paid for services, get illegally towed and then that business probably get a % from the tow company.. because I didn't hear the business he was at talk speak up or fight for that victim.. or it was edited out
Wonder what the people that towing company would think if the guy would hire another towing company to tow the personal vehicles out of the towing owners driveway Wonder what would happen 🤔
Dispute the charge with card issuing bank. He will win the dispute.
And if you don't Jane that cash on hand to get your car out that day then they add on $75-150 everyday it's left there so if you have to wait a week to get another paycheck that's the $350 + another $525-1,050 on top of that initial $350 depending on the tow yards fee, and at that point you can never get your vehicle back and then they take ownership and sell it.
I've had something like this happen to me in Texas and down there your average wage is around $8 an hour so your fucked.
Wait how is that a civil matter and not Grand theft auto.. once you got a tow truck it's tow who you want and get away with it truck ??
This happened to me at JFK airport Ny.I went to drop off my kids and just got out of my car and went to say goodbye inside for five minutes and my car was gone .😢
Dont do business downtown or cherry creek off a bus route it will hapen to you
What if the civil matter push a man to be uncivilized ? Now it’s a felon and murder could’ve been prevented. Humans are funny creatures..
Check out Wyatt crooks
Towing company made a mistake and they don't want to pay for their mistake ? It's that simple.
not a mistake. deliberate theft
@@jiogcyihsugyiocjfdoivhphvw6821 it becomes theft or robbery if they wouldn't correct such wrongdoing.
Keep calling the cops and state it is a criminal matter. This is not a civil matter.
My car got towed on my parking lot! Cause I have a magnet/sticker of my freelance business
Man actually thought the police would side with a citizen over a business LMAO not in my capitalist paradise sucka
Police were against businesses during the Covid insanity.
u thought?????????????
bs
Beside this man complaint:
When I park anywhere first thing I look is TOW signs!
I've been driving for 35 yrs I've never been towed not once.
I dont park in a place where I know Iam purposly parked wrongfully. Let me break it down for Rule breakers that do it then cry when they have to Pay Up.
I dont park by a fire hydrant
I dont double park , I park correctly not hogg one side making hard for the next car to squeeze in
I don't park in Handicap and " run in quickly"
I sure don't park in a apt complex in SOMEONE else spot who they paid for that spot and say " well ppl do it all the time so why can't I" yeah thoes ppl
I dont park in a apt complex in a NON visitor section when I am a visitor
I don't park in spaces that belong to another business ( has tow signs) and use thoes spots when I go to a completely diff business.
Oh, News and City dont forget to show all thoes Rule breakers running after their cars when they are getting towed..Cause chances are u don't see non rules breakers running after their cars no they are sound asleep no worries cause they comply...
But yes, there can be a mistake but out of 20 ppl all 20.are crying doubt. They get busted they didn't want to follow rules and they get busted and don't want to pay up just like they didn't want to flow rules..
Predator tow companies the complaint is always about , what about lying ppl who lie cry as if they are truthful especially when constantly breaking rules at apt complex they choose to live at!!
did u bother to watch the story, drunkard
Slow news day, huh? Ya, it's hard to find good stories when your head is in the blue sand.
so ur saying the tow co was right?
So this is theft, use any legal protection to keep your vehicle. Pepper spray, ccw. Egc
