Discussion»Questions»Transportation» SCENARIO: your car isn't in the parking space where you left it, you think it's been stolen but find out later that it's been towed away.
I'd have to find out why, because I never illegally park. Heads would likely role... I always forget to read your fine print, sorry. No, that has never happened to me.

Yes. But living in NYC, one's first assumption is that it's been towed, especially if there are outstanding parking tickets. However, it is a relief to confirm that it's been seized and not stolen.
Actually, my car wasn't where I left it one day. Unfortunately, being an old car, the transmission failed while I was gone and rolled down a long hill into a lake. It was deemed a total loss.
Yep. They claimed it was a fire zone ... but it wasn't marked, there were no fire hydrants, and college faculty parked there daily (and one of them was where I had parked, when I went to get my car).
So I paid the fees to get it out ... then had a lawyer send the college a notice to repay me, plus the cost of his services. Since the college had to call the tow, and I was legally parked according to the lack of signage and the fact they allowed faculty to park there.
Then within a month, there were signs and painted lanes and a couple faculty got towed.
Turns out, one of the Board members was associated with the tow company, and was calling for tows. (they didn't get $$, but one of their relatives worked there I guess) They then convinced the Board to post it as a fire lane, so they could "officially" get vehicles towed.
No and I like to keep it that way. Getting your car towed is not only exceedingly expensive but also can do damage to your car if the wrong tow truck shows up. I thank God that scenario has never happened and make sure it does not.
