it is complete bullshit and its borderline extortion.

My friends car was stolen few years back, he lost around $10,000 in parts. When the police found it, they didnt even call him, they called impoud, they took it, then they waited 4 days to CALL HIM AND TELL HIM THE CAR WAS AT THE LOT!

So we go over there and they charged him $180 to get it out/even look at it. I threw a fit at the front window , called the police , all kinds of shit to the point i almost got thrown out.

I understand the tow companies have to make money, but there should be exceptions.

IMO let the COUNTY tow the car and store it, our taxes are paying their operating costs anyway

or

Make there be like a 5 day grace period to come get the car. Maybe pay a mandatory hook fee like $35, but give people 5 days after police notification to come get it.

or

Make sure your insurance has a provision that covers it.


but yes, its bullshit
