  • The Tow Files - Wherein I Get a Love Letter

    So, I was driving along on my rounds when out of the corner of my eye, something odd pops up into my peripheral vision. There's is a large envelope taped to a lone parking meter over by an apartment complex I tow from. My curiosity piqued, I go over, pull it down, open it up and inside Inside are 4 tickets, issued to a Green Acura Integra with license xxx-xxxx, all issued for parking at an expired meter. Also inside, is a hand-written note.

    Dear "parking" people,

    You can write all the phony home-made tickets you want, but you'll never see a cent from me. I'll park where I want to, and your "tickets" are illegal and no collections agency in the world will ever take them seriously, no matter how good your little machine that prints them up makes them look. You also do not have any legal grounds to ticket me if you aren't the cops!

    In conclusion, you can take these unenforcible made-up tickets and cram them up your *explicative deleted* ass! and *suggested biological function deleted* me!


    Aw, that's cute. I guess he wrote that assuming that when I saw it, I'd take off my ball cap, throw it on the ground and stomp on it like an angry chimp. After all, Real Men (tm) settle their differences by leaving angry notes behind, don't they? Well, I know one thing, this guy has committed the ultimate Dumb-James-Bond-Movie-Villain mistake of informing me of what his diabolical plan was in advance, and then leaving me alive to make sure he can't carry it out. Namely, parking at that meter and not paying it. As now I have

    1. A description of his car
    2. A plate number
    3. 4 unpaid and now delinquent tickets, which according to Borough towing regulations is a tow-on-sight with no wait.

    So I tuck them in the glove box of the truck and go on my merry way.

    Later that evening, while passing by that very same apartment, I see a Green Integra in that very same spot, with license plate xxx-xxxx, in the glove box of my truck is all the evidence that said car has 4 unpaid tickets, and I can see there's no time on the meter.....

    Dear Sir,

    In regards to your letter from earlier today, here is my rebuttal,

    You can pick your car up at our garage, after you've paid $105 for the tow, and $60 for those delinquent, unpaid and VERY real and VERY enforcible parking violations.

    Have a nice day, citizen!

            Nice. Love it when entitled wankers get pwnt. Love to see the look on his face when he comes out and his car is gone. I'd also love to hear about the fuss he (i am sure) raised when he came to collect said vehicle.

              Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

                  You can find, on the internet, an argument against ANYTHING as being illegal. I'm sure people said this stuff before the internet, but they had fewer people to hear that "oh, it's illegal to give tickets" from before.

                  And I LOVE that he handed you the evidence to tow his car.

                      Probably because they were issued by the apartment complex, and not an official Law Enforcement or regulatory department, some people seem to think that only the cops or a municipal authority can issue parking tickets, when in reality, there is a statute in the vehicles code which allows for private property owners to issue tickets for vehicles tresspassing on their property, I forget the official title/section/paragraph, but it's ON the ticket that

                      "Your vehicle is parked in violation of section 118 of Title 75.02 of the State Motor Vehicles Code"

                      and anyone who bothers to look that up can see that in fact, it is a legit ticket, and it is enforcible, now, granted, it is hard to collect, and it can take up to 5 years or so to finally get money out of someone who won't pay, and if you only own 1 property, it might not even be worth it to try and ticket for that reason, but the companies that own 8 or 9 properties or more in town have their own parking enforcement divisions for just that reason.

                      There's just those entitled few who refuse to pay until you MAKE em.

                          Argabarga,
                          This made my day as I havn't seen on of your stories in a while and I do love them, leaving behind a ransom note for the car was a nice personal touch to the vengeance he brought on himself. My only hope is he is out of town and will return to find out already owes several days of storage.
                          I'm sorry reading is not a new concept it has been widely taught in our nation for at least the past 100 years. Please, learn to do it CORRECTLY before you become contagious.
