On May 10 an work college and my self went to eat dinner at a great Mexican restaurant. Then went across the SAME ATTACHED parking lot to the Ice cream shop.
Well, upon finishing our nice meal and dessert we headed back into the parking lot to get the rental car and head back to our hotel as we were working in Houston.
The car was GONE... Yep GONE... Just as i was about to call the police an UN MARKED tow truck pulls in and starts hooking up a car. I asked the guy if he by chance towed my rental car away... He stated NO but his buddy did.
Mind you NO MARKINGS on this tow truck. NO SIGNS posted in the parking lot warning of illegal parking (THAT I WAS NOT) who to call... NOTHING NO WHERE, just your normal strip mall parking lot.
OK now i have to go back into the restaurant to get a cab... Its poring rain now. The restaurant owner stated that that company "Ronda Lane Auto Storage & Jet Wrecker (mega interests)" are always in trouble for illegal towing. That they have 'spotters' in parking lots that call there buddies in the tow trucks and away they go with your car. OH and they got over 20 yes 20 LEGALLY parked cars that evening form that parking lot.
Anyway, we get to the towing yard. Poring rain, and see a sign posted on the 5" thick bullet proof glass as to the fees of $182.39 CASH ONLY and since the car was a rental i had to call this guy whom they had his number posted on the 5" bullet proof glass to have a piece of paper notarized (that they gave me) stating i had the right to drive the rental car (they did not care to see the Hertz rental agreement) and he would seal the paper for $25 CASH ONLY. Mind you i am standing in the poring rain the hole time, the salvage yard will not let you inside there building (HA wonder why) the noter y dude in the jeep will not let me in his car (HA, wonder why) These SLEAZE BALLS KNOW THEY ARE RIPPING YOU OFF... All this cash only stuff and here call my buddy... What a scam. NOTHING BUT A BIG SCAM
I was legally parked in a legal parking spot doing business with the business that own that lot... Why was i towed??? I'll tell you why *it's a towing scam, storage scam as well as a notary scam*
I am a firm believer in "what goes around comes around" and boy, oh boy, do i wish i could be there when all you SLEAZE BAGS get yours.
