tow truck drivers are the scum of the earth.
6/25/2008 11:14:39 PM
TOTALLY agreed.My car got towed from Valpark freshman year, and I even had a parking pass clearly visible in my window.I blame Valpark, not the towing company, but they're both scum.

I wish there was a full summary post. this shit is 60+ pages lol.
6/25/2008 11:28:39 PM
Towards the end, (like page 58 or something) one guy pretty much quotes all of the OP's posts.
6/25/2008 11:44:05 PM
worth skimming through just to read the OPs posts - they do get summarized every once in a while though
6/26/2008 12:08:48 AM
page 50/51 has the full summary
6/26/2008 12:12:10 AM
no fucking way did I just read that whole summary and then get to the end and find the thread has been closed. Any chance that they started a new one?

I'm hoping that it was continued on another board somewhere....he says that he's working to get the thread reopened.

AHHHHHHHH! How does it end?!?
6/26/2008 10:14:47 AM
it hasnt ended.. last update (a couple days ago) the towing company is threatening to sue him for putting the managers face on the internet..
6/26/2008 10:47:59 AM
a tow truck driver pulled a shotgun on me once. i was drunk at a party and trying to save my friend (who's bday it was) from getting towed.
6/26/2008 11:29:43 AM
if you go and sit in the car they can not tow it and he cant shoot you. unless you pull a gun out or threaten him
6/26/2008 11:36:57 AM
i wish i could remember the whole story of a crazy ass event one night. i know the basics were my buddys gf's jeep was getting towed, he somehow manages to get it off the truck or maybe they were just getting ready to hook it up, i can't remember. anyways, he re-parks car at the concert pavilion next door (Dave Matthews was playing that night so it was packed) and he walked back home and came in the backdoor while the towing ppl were still out front pissed. the apt managers came around knocking but nobody ever confessed so they never knew who it was. not real sure what they could have done anyways but it was crazy at the timei wish i could remember the details but it's been a good 4 years and i was drunk as shit[Edited on June 26, 2008 at 12:44 PM. Reason : asdf]
6/26/2008 12:43:09 PM
1 time they were trying to tow my car, i jumped in it and said i wasnt fucking leaving and they could call the cops. they just went and towed another car instead.
6/26/2008 1:07:02 PM
Thats crazy, I hope dude doesnt get sued tho.
6/26/2008 2:29:04 PM
he will not get sued. its the hoa's problem. the towing company was just doing their job. i see both sides of the story though
6/26/2008 2:32:22 PM
i've found out they cant boot car with 35 plus inch tires... Cary High tired to boot my friends truck for having mud on it (apparently people got really pissed about driving thru the mud left on the ground) They tried to boot his car but his thornbirds are so fucking wide it wouldn't fit... (first time thornbirds have ever been useful)
6/26/2008 2:42:50 PM
i thought somebody on here had had that happen to them too[Edited on June 26, 2008 at 2:46 PM. Reason : having tires too big that is]
6/26/2008 2:46:25 PM
my bassist got his car towed from university woods like 3 times while he lived there and he had his valid parking sticker clearly displayed in the right spot every time.

I'll read that thread later.
6/26/2008 4:54:34 PM
a friend was driving a ton service truck loaded down with cotton picker parts and a full 200 gallon fuel tank in the bed during exams, asshole towmater tried to snatch it. Hilarity did ensue, the front of the tow truck came off the ground. towmater was pissed, especially when he saw us all on the balcony laughing at him.
6/26/2008 6:22:45 PM
^winner
6/26/2008 6:26:55 PM
Man, I've never had to deal with asshole tow companies. This thread is inspiring though. That guy has balls of steel. I hope he wins his case.

there was a thing about nazi towers around the Raleigh area last year. A friend of mine got her car towed while out at the bars despite being parked legally in a public area. She thought her car was stolen and called the cops, the tow company didn't contact her till five days later and asked for a something like $1k for 5 day's worth of storage fee's. She already received her check and was claimed as a theft. The tow company also asked to not get the police involved... Police got involved and found out the tow company was doing it quite a few people. The company claimed they were under staffed...
6/26/2008 9:41:13 PM
^yeah I had a tow company do that to me once. they towed me and didn't report it, so when I reported my ride stolen, cops were all over it. then me and a buddy were drivin down the road a few days later and I saw my ride in the tow lot. I checked the tag, and it was mine. called the cops, and they were pissed that the towmater didn't let 'em know. cop was holdin the cuffs like he was gonna arrest the towmater but he didn't. Got my ride back for free though. I do have to say that the dude in AZ is more patient than me. I would have already went goddamn ballistic. also if I was him, if the HOA didn't pull the parking contract at the end of this, I'd be moving. fuck that noise.
