All County Towing Illegally towed from my assigned parking spot in my apartment overnight!!! Scam ft. lauderdale, Florida
I was parked in my assaigned parking spot in my apartment buliding over night with my parking decal displayed on my dash board. The next morning I awoke to find my car gone! I first assumed my car had been stolen, and lets face it that is truely what happened.
Then I called the towing company my condo uses and found they had towed my car from my spot claiming that they could not see my parking decal. When I went to the towing place to pick it up they told me I needed exact cash (no change is given), my liscence, and current registration (which I keep in my glove compartment.) They refused to let me look for it and told me I had to give them my keys and they would have to go in my glove compartment and get it. At this point they must of removed my current parking sticker and current registration and told me I need to go get a duplicate copy of my current registration which convienantly was not open until the next day, where as it would cost me more money to keep my car over night.
So not only do i feel I was illegally towed but also stolen from. How is it thet they are allowed to refuse me to look in my own car for my personal belongings??? Is this really leagal??

.i have learned that ALL condo tow jobs are call IN by spotters - who can be bribed so that the tow company is never called in the first place
moreover the decal idea is something that is part of ALL COUNTY TOWING scams where they scrape the decal off as a driver told me once so that's no big deal to them
have your condo association terminate ALL COUNTY TOWING for failure to perform their services in an honest manner since there is always something they do according to their own ex-employees i have spoken to that crosses the line
i think it is why current employees are conducting their own scams espeically the hook-up but no-tow down here at the courthouse parking lot (or what's left of it)
apparently the spotter never calls IN the tow so the spotter and the driver can hook a car up and just wait in the lot for the venhicle owner to arrive and hit em up for $50 which the tow truck driver and the spotter split amongst themselves - no honor among thieves
that is why if you get to the spotter you will never be towed

They must of had a slow night,and the best part they prove you a liar by not letting you go to your car.If I didn't have a conscience I would run out and buy a tow truck.
