Illegally Towed – Thief by Contract

Rev. Burns, has lived in a homeowners association community for more than 16 years, and parks her car in the same reserved parking space associated with her lot.   On October 16, 2017, she took her car in for repair.  Coming home, she reminded herself to stop at the guard’s house to retrieve a temporary parking permit.

When she arrived, there was no guard.  Feeling anxious, she knocked on a few doors to borrow a parking pass.  The next day the guard was on the premises, so she secured a 2 day parking permit.  The pass was scheduled to expire on October 19, 2017 at midnight.

Her loaner car was tow exactly at 11:30 pm on October 19, 2017.  She was awaken at 5 am by her husband informing her of the missing car.  Immediately she called 911.  They asked for the license plate, make, and vin number.  She had nothing.

She alleged that homeowners in her community have been dealing with aggressive and illegal predatory towing practice since 2009.   For some reason, she said; this year has been the worse.
