Complaint Review: Advanced Towing

Advanced towing works with people that prey on visitors. That is, once someone parks in a location, they hire commissioned look-outs to call in for a tow truck to steal a person's car, and subsequently empty your wallet with charges. It's a scam. I parked in a Wachovia bank lot at nearly 12am after traveling to see a live music show at the IOTA club (nowhere near bank operating hours) simply to have a coffee and late snack with my girlfriend at the silver diner before my 90 minute commute back to Baltimore, only to come out and my car was missing. There was no posting or warning of impending towing. I had to take a cab and pay $100 to get it out. I was told by the cabbie that this is a serious problem in the area. Not Baltimore, New York, Atlanta, Charlotte - BUT ARLINGTON!? Are you SERIOUS!????
I traveled from Baltimore, dump money into the community, only to be treated in such an underhanded manner. I assure you I will never return and subject myself to the same again. I have never seen anything like it. I was hurting no one! I suppose it is customary to treat out of town guests that bring revenue and spread their experiences to friends, family, and the internet in such a way. I may have been inconvenienced and lost $100, but you have lost any of my money and that of everyone that I can warn about your insidious behavior. I have written the legislature and media. The truth needs to be told and those uninformed, like i was, need to made aware!
