I recently moved to Los Angeles, CA from Washington state and my carstill has Washington plates. I have reason to believe that Bruffy's Towin Marina Del Rey, CA is a crooked company running a scam on out ofstate people because Bruffy's believes they are visitors to the beachand won't be here long enough to protest.
Twice in the last week my car has been towed by this company fromstreet parking that is usually legal. Both times I was cited for havingparked in a temporary tow zone on an ordinary city street. The firsttime, it was my fault. There was some sort of a marathon and theytemporarily banned parking.
The second tow by Bruffy's Marina Del Rey Tow came today. I hadparked my car legally on Main street in Venice, CA at 10 pm at night. Because I had just been towed a couple days before I very carefullylooked around. No signs, no cones, perfectly legal spot. I walked homeand went to bed.
Tonight I cheerfully walked out to get my car to go to dinner withLevi when I arrived at my spot on Main St. And it was empty. There weretwo cones on either side of where I had parked and a sign that said noparking from 7am to 10 pm. Neither the signs nor the cones were therelast night at 10 pm.By law, tow companies/parking enforcement officersare required to give at least 24 hours notice for a temporary tow zone.
Either someone forgot to put up the signs like they were supposed toat least 24 hours in advance and towed me anyways or Bruffy's MarinaDel Rey Tow company has set up a scam to take advantage of tourists.
I recommend Los Angeles thoroughly investigate Bruffy's towingand the Santa Monica police department for potential conflict ofinterest and underhanded dealings. I would remove Bruffy's Marina DelRey Tow license to operate a towing company in the meantime.
