My story is simple. Myhusband and I parked in a lot in the Short North on a Saturday afternoon (12/5/09) around 2:50 pm. The lot had a sign that said permit parking Monday Friday 7-5pm (or something close to those times); $5 all other times. We put our $5 in the #7 slot in the oldschool metal box and went to our friend's holiday open house. We came back at 10 pm and our car was gone. Towed! They were towing another car awayas we arrived. A complete scam! We paid, they towed anyway. We did not putthe money in the wrong slot and there was no time limit posted. The tow truckdriver had a picture of the empty slot. How do we know he didnt just take the money before taking that picture?

<p class="MsoNormal">Do NOT park in any lot where the sign says they will tow to Hamlet Street. You may get towed for absolutely no reason and have to pay $150 to recover your vehicle.
