Parking Enforcement Scam

Last night before attending an event for Halloween at the Hard Rock, my girlfriend wanted to stop at the CVS located across the street in the Paradise Esplanade shopping center to buy some gum. After purchasing the gum we figured we would just run across the streett to the Hard Rock instead of getting in our cars again. We didn't see any signs about a time limit of parking in this lot. When we got back to our car after the event their was a boot on the car. A girl came up to us telling us we had to pay her $200 cash in 15 minutes or the car would be towed. Now if this isn't extotrtion I don't know what is. I was debating about calling the cops but she kept saying it was private property and said they would consider it a civil matter. I knew we were being scammed. They wouldn't show us any credentials or tell us their names. She did have a gun on her though. They had us trapped. We were forced to pay the $200 to get the car back. We were not the only ones victimized that night. Their were several other cars being booted or towed. This needs to stop. If anyone else reads this that had this situation happen to them please contact me.
