Stolen by Bexar Towing My truck was stolen from the Prinz shopping center parking lot in 30 seconds!!! San Antonio Texas
I took my wife to visit her friends at Dellview elementary since my wife is on sick leave for about two months due to loss of vission. It was about 1:30 pm when we were coming back home and saw a mexican reataurant that had been recomended to us and decided to stop there for lunch (Guajillos on Blanco and 410). Went in there and there was no parking in front of the retaurant at that time of the day we thought that their cooking had to be pretty good to be so packed and decided to park in the shopping center next door. It was a long walk and we said it must be worth it. Only thinking about the food. Got in there, ate....the food was ok. Paid and left like in 20 minutes. Walked to the parking lot and could not find the truck. Called the police wasting a 911 call and the police told me to check if there were any signs indicating towing will happen. Talked to another person there and he said he saw a tow truck from Bexar Towing that took it. Walked to the front of the parking lot and saw the sign they had there and took the number. Called it and they told me they had it and they said it would cost me $220 to get it out. Notice that it only cost for a tow truck $65 to come and pick up your car and take it to a mechanic or the dealer. This is highway robbery for a pair of senior citizens on a budget to have the city allow these ridiculous charges not to mention this towing activity that is allowing this company to steal vehicles from unsuspecting citizens for a fee. This is a new kind of stealing masked as if the city was the one doing this. Hell put parking meters in these places and let me pay a quarter and stop this nonsense of people enriching themselves at the mercy of unsuspecting citizens. I did not see the signs before I went in the reataurant, I did see them after I had to find them. Needles to say this was the most expensive lunch we had here in San Antonio. Thank you city council for nothing.

Hi TYG
You (as usual) ignore the fact that these preditory towing companies intentionaly make it as hard as possible to notice, read and understand that your car will be towed.
Start by installing the sign at just a slight angle so a driver turning into the lot can't read the sign. Make sure your sign will be lost in a background, bushes work good, but a large advertising sign works better.
Then a city governement that won't pass a rule to make signing every spot a requirement.
Now you have a senior that gets towed with out ever knowing it was possible.
Tyg every time you rant I seem to be able to point out how wrong you are. Give up dude, you are absolutly pathetic.

YOU are showing the TYPICAL signs of the per usual American thought process. Its NOT your fault that YOU parked someplace YOU should not have. Its ALWAYS everyone elses fault that YOU got towed for where YOU WILLINGLY chose to park. How can YOU even post crap like this??? None of those other people YOU want to place the blame on were the ones behind the wheel of YOUR vehicle. It was ONLY your fault!!! YOU willingly took the risk of parking in front of a business that YOU were NOT going into to do business. THEN YOU LIE ONLINE!!!! What type of useless brain dead junkie are YOU?!?! YOU were in there long enough for someone to call a tow company and have your vehicle towed!!!! YOU MADE THE CHOICE TO PARK THERE!!! No one else was driving YOUR vehicle. No one else TOLD YOU to park where you did. Heres a NOVEL thought for someone of YOUR age. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!!!! Thankfully all YOU have shown is that perhaps YOU shouldnt EVER drive again. YOU make very poor choices and then blame others when YOU get caught!!!! YOU shame yourself and YOU should REALLY take responsibility for what YOU HAVE DONE!!!! If that towing company chooses to they could sue YOU for the PURE defamation YOU have willingly chosen to post online. YOU have only been ripped off by YOUR ACTIONS!!!!YOUR CHOICE TO PARK WHERE YOU DID!!!! YOUR CHOICE!!! YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!! Grow the hell up and MAYBE act like an adult!!
