Money: Today, my car was towed for the second time in front of my own...

Today, my car was towed for the second time in front of my own house. They tried to tell me it was because they didn't think I lived there anymore. The person who had it towed had just spoken to me not three hours before. FML

Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML

Today, I paid $125 to get my car back after it was towed. Yesterday, I bought the car. When I got it to my apartment, the office wasn't open, so I couldn't get a parking decal. The same office that towed my car while they were still closed. FML

Today, my car broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML

Driving is expensive

Today, my car was towed. After taking a cab all the way to the lot for $45 and paying the $250 fee to get my car back, my car broke down in the impound lot and needed to be towed to the nearest shop, where it took another $200 to fix, and $50 for the towing. I still have a 3-hour drive home. FML

Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML

Today, after 3 days of hearing a car alarm going off almost continuously, the city finally came and towed it. Immediately after, the owner showed up with a switchblade, inquiring who called the city. My neighbors ratted me out, despite the fact I had nothing to do with it. FML

Today, I went to lunch with a friend in her car. I told her to park in a lot that had signs warning that we'd be towed, saying, "They never tow anyone from here. In fact, if you get towed, I'll pay for it." When we returned, her car was gone. I had to pay $145 in cash to get it back. FML

Today, I let my friend borrow my car. She parked it in a towing zone, and it was towed. The best part is, it was towed by a bogus towing company. The cops assure me it's safe in a chop shop somewhere. FML

Today, I started my first day of work at my new job. They had a section in the parking lot for employees only, so I parked there. Apparently, my boss didn't recognize my car, and had it towed. FML

Now it's your turn to call the towing company and have their car towed. Sounds like your neighbor is either stupid or an ass

It's time to put up a sign to show people you live here. I suggest the "Sex offenders live here" sign, if not the you might want the "Gary was here, Ash is a loser" sign.

I have like 4 bus stops LITERALLY right in front of my house. All the parents that couldn't imagine letting their kids walk home then come park in my lawn. I'm thinking about a sex offender sign like this.....

I got a 300 lb Grand Pyranese/ Irish Wolf Hound cross. Nobody comes in my yard anymore and they don't think I'm a pedophile.

You could just spray paint "Free Candy" on a banner, and hang it on your garage.

I'm confused if it was parked on the street in front of your house, why would a private company tow it? If it were towed as an abandoned vehicle as you described, the local authority would have to place notifications on it, and monitor it for at least five business days. My point is, you're in a strong position for a civil lawsuit.

Obviously I don't have all the details (what the note said, time frame, emergency circumstances, where your vehicle was parked, who towed it/why), but just because it was towed doesn't mean they should have or legally can. The implications of allowing other people to have people's vehicles towed without warning/notice is pretty obvious.

I think they simply don't give a shit..they know you'll have to pay them to get your car back, so for them it's just a payday...sorry OP..maybe there is a way to write a complaint on that company..I don't know what are your laws over there.. But good luck..you can also always put a huge sign that says that you still live there.
