Had a brand new car for about a week got towed, they bent the door prying it open to unlock it scratched the side. Towing company was family owned. Owners going through divorce, bancruptcy, forclosure.

They refused to talk to me. Had a PO box, I went to their house, they called the cops. Their shop had temp workers in it. All the laws in my county since it was on private property protected the towing company. Civil matter.

Even the state laws did not apply to them, because the county opted out, which would have protected me.

Fast forward 9 months, used a lawyer to threaten the property management company who contracted the towing company. Their lawyers got involved.

$8000 for the property managers lawyers, $3000 for mine. for a 1k repair. Never went to court and towing company finally paid. After about a year.

Was horrible experience waste of time and energy.
