Towing funds should be reimbursed; with damages; and their practice of enforcement should be reviewed responsibly. Note that the property owner can’t compel you to commit a federal and constitutional crime.

Car was taken within 20 minutes from a commonly known visitor parked area due to the lack of adequate parking with and without disability placards. There has been a time when many cars parked this area due to inadequate parking. Now this car was standing there while unloading with a handicapped placard, the vehicle is towed. 

After numerous calls on a borrowed phone, the tow company could not locate the vehicle; and thus could not give a pick-up appointment. Furthermore, for hours the company could not verify location. The wasn’t made immediately available with medical equipment and phone inside.

Though towing personnel is in attendance at midnight & through the weekend stating they don’t see the car, towing cars. managing the lot and for appointments, these are non-business hours. If a towing company tows 24 hours/ 7 days /week, it is double jeopardy twice over having $160 admin fee assessed during non-business hours if not picked up within 48 hours. Non-business hours is when administration isn’t there. From sundown Friday to sunrise Monday is 60 hours during which the vehicle accrues a $30/ day fee. Moreover, due to non- business hours, the facility charges a $60 appointment fee. The towing process can add another 12 hours to their 60 hour weekend.

So, at $30/day assess upon arrival to the lot, an appointment must be made at $60 fee under the coercion of the $160 administration fee for the first 48 hour stay of non-business hours. This is an unethical regulated scam and racketeering. 

The $160 administration is to not over populate the busy lot, keeping room for the cycle of cars. The weekends are the busiest; and thus are business hours. This time can’t be counted as “off-business” with a mandatory punitive pick-up parameters for “use of non-business hours.” It is definitely most profitable.

But it gets worse. There is the 

(a) Loading time;

(b) transportation to the lot time;

(c) Refueling time;

(d) Break time;

(f) Traffic to lot time;

(g) Processing to a lot of time; 

(h) Conveying tow to the customer time which is many misses and hit by the customer;

(i) next available appointment time;

(j) Customer travel time;

(k) customer traffic time.

From loading time at 11:00 pm, the next appointment time added about 12 hours. If started at close of business on Friday, this could increase the non- business time to 72 hours of price gorging admin & appointment fees. The vehicle was towed from blocks away from near Parker county to near Thornton. This wasn’t reasonable local towing service. There is also mileage fees. The penalty was much to high for the lack lacking proactive disability accommodation provided.

In according the recording on the tow company’s message, this price racketeering price gouging is regulated and RICO.

Eventually an appointment was set at 10:30.

Directly after towing and during the hours of not being able to locate the car, owner called and attempted to negotiate a “paid” ADA III accommodation as 12 MN & 6 am meds and phone were in the car; and prevented the disabled from getting needed care. 

The car had been standing temporarily for unloading. The location was needed due to disability Without disability parking in the visitor parking area. The distance was too far for ability. Disability template were hanging on the mirror. The sign was perpendicular and not seen by the disabled when parking.

No consideration was given to the parking barring accesss for the disabled in inadequate access to a public location in pursuant to ADA III, the medications, Oxygen, media and phone denied to the disabled in pursuant to neglect to prevent or communication for the impaired as there wasn’t oblivious notifications of tow company or location. The delay was due to physical compensatory recovery without needed equipment in the car . When able to re-engage, the needed resources were gone. This created a embarrassing and dangerous  night. If the ambulance had been called, it is possible that the fines would be too high to retrieve the vehicle. These are choices the disabled shouldn’t have to embrace hourly. This are highly discriminatory to the disabled. Negotiations were begged an denied.

The heinous disregard barred adequate parking and access in pursuant to ADA III; and immediate retaliative towing shows “Neglect to Prevent” lacking proactive accommodations causing damage, pain and suffering potential to 18 U.S. Code §â€¯1117 Conspiracy to murder when murder is defined by 18 U.S. Code §â€¯1112. Manslaughter (a) involuntary. This circumstance is particular to either passing or being evaluated. This person was recently discharged from the hospital with continued unknown internal bleeding and other unknown etiology. 

It is illegal to bar public access for the disabled. it is cruel; and unusual punishment to ship their vehicles to Thorton. 

The towing company is enforcement which should be mindful not to break laws in pursuant to equal protection under the law US Constitution. If the expected the disabled to see the sign, there should have regarded the disability placard and considered what proactive measures were taken before, during and after they violated the rights of the disabled to have equal access to a public facility.

If you were parked for 20 minutes, you were not "unloading" you were "parked".

The fact that you say that there was inadequate parking for cars with or without placards tells us that you were probably not parked in a area designated for parking. A handicapped placard does not give you the authority to park anywhere you want, you are still subject to various parking regulations. Such as if you were parked in what is designated as a "Fire Lane", placard or not you are subject to an immolate tow. It also doesn't matter "if everyone else does it".

Your report then goes from the basic complaint about towing to the humorous. When you started to bring in comparing to having your car towed to manslaughter and violation of Constitutional law.  You just destroyed what ever credibility you may have had. I don't even know what you are trying to say when you start talking about your "times". By the way both your apartment complex and the towing yard are "Private Property" not public facilities. I have also never heard of any towing law that requires the tow driver to think about how this tow will affect the person being towed.

Now, if your report didn't go off the rails you MAY have some valid complaints. If your apartment complex does not have enough ADA parking spaces and is violating the law that is an issue with the apartment complex. If by chance you are not exaggerating the effort it took to locate your car, you again may have a valid issue against the tow company as their are rules and regulations when it comes to notification.  However, there are rarely laws that force a tow company to be open during certain hours.
