    Default How to get revenge on a towing company?

    I go to one stripclub here in the Keys and spend a lot of money at least once a week. I don't buy dances, but I buy all the women drinks who sit with me in the VIP couch and send them to tip each other lavishly, like I gave one about 70 total because she dances so well onstage. Etc., etc., to the tune of at least 2-300$ every time I go, absolute minimum.

    So tuesday I was a bit drunk after a while and my friend persuaded me to take a cab with him instead of driving. So then, as is my custom, I slept all day wednesday to recover .

    But I forgot I left my van in the parking lot, and they had it towed wednesday night!

    I don't blame them, exactly. I didn't tell anyone, leave a note, or call the next day (hell I forgot about it). And it's the same ugly old van I have had since I drove down here broke more than three years ago. Having a car here is alost a liability, the island is so small and parking is a bitch, I walk to work and ride my bike to workout, and I'm saving my money.

    But anyway when I called the towing company today and told them I was a paying customer, they said tough shit. I said I would happily pay the tow charge, but the storage fee seemed way too high considering I was a customer with a right to park my van there.

    Tough shit, 294$

    So what is a legal way to fuck these assholes? Or almost legal. I'd do anything to get revenge as long as I stayed out of jail.

    Any ideas?

    You want the honest truth here? No. There's nothing you can do at all. You get to bend over and take it unfortunately.

    Was the towing company called by the club or was the driver doing the towing of his own accord?

    If the club called for the tow, then they are the one that you should go after, but if the towing company scavenges work by towing willy-nilly, then you have a real case to take their business.

    If the club was responsible, the towing company was nothing more than acting at their request.

    I want a little 'bending over and taking it' smiley, but I'm at work, no time for that.

    Legally there's nothing I can do unless the owner of the club (he was the one who called) comps me the couch I usually rent for a few times, which would make up for it.

    I just want revenge, because they are raping people, usually tourists, for the 'storage fees'. The storage area is just a giant muddy enclosure. It's not worth 100$ a day or more. I forget the breakdown of all their fucking 'fees' on the chart in there, but it robbery, plain and simple-legal robbery.

    I'd break a minor law or two in a heartbeat--if I could avoid getting arrested--just to get revenge on these filthy greedy pigs.

    The best way would be to get an old beater and take off the plates and leave it in a lot they have a contract for, with a time-delay stink bomb or something worse in it. A bunch of dead fish, something like that. Something that would drip down onto the ground, preferably, and stink up their precious 'storage area'.

    Oh that's cool!

    I once got towed from a lot in Daytona that was a legal place tp park for years for one club, then suddenly not anymore. I didn't pay attention to the signs as it had always been OK before.

    Well once again it was legal for them to tow me, but once again it was for no real reason except that they could--it was the parking lot of a gift store near the club, and I guess they stopped the deal with letting club customers park there for whatever reason. So even though the store was closed and the lot not needed, the towing company's contract allowed them to tow whether the store was open or not.

    Robbery, plain and simple. Fuck the law, that's stealing money for no reason.

    It only cost me 90$ as I got it right away, but I could afford that 90$ a hell of a lot less than I could the 294 today!

    Whenever I saw them again out around town, which was frequently, I would yell curses and vile epithets at their tow trucks. Sounds lame, sure, but you all don't know just how fucking loud I really am, and I am good at cussing people out.

    Sure enough, I found out through the grapevine that they hated me, which was what I wanted. Then I found out that they weren't paying all their income tax, and called up the IRS on their asses, but first I called them up when I was drunk one night and told them who I was and that I was going to do it. We started going back and forth on the phone, only I was getting the best of it (maybe partly because the guy knew he was in jeopardy with IRS goons). Then the wife of the owner said 'Gimmee that phone! I'll tell that fucker off!' I could hear her in the background.

    She gets on and says 'Hey, I just want you to know how much I enjoyed that 90$ dinner you paid for!' Well I'm not going to tell you what I replied with, but it involved her and some farm animals, and it shut her up lol!

    I hate fucking snitches, and snitching to the IRS is the worst thing you can do, audits are horrible and often they will audit you over and over again, too. But these robbers deserve it, I never regretted it

    There's no legal way to get revenge in this case.

    Plenty of illegal ways though.....

    I was telling someone else here recently how I feel about the towing vultures. Sadly there is nothing legal you can do but take it.

    It isn't a crime unless you get caught...

    On a lighter note, I got revenge by flirting with the owner, getting him to come to the club & making him my new money piggie. Sucker. I may have had to bend over that time it took $350 to get my car back, but I took this s.s.o.b. to the poor house. Nothing like hitting 'em where it hurts.

    LOL. U might be able to pull that off. I would buy a stink bomb or fart spray and go to the place as if your car might have been towed there and once you are in their building or office....set that baby off, and leave quietly. Silent but deadly. lol. The smell last for hours and opening the windows dont help. I had the same problem with a tow company towing my car when I parked in a "reserved" spot. The parking space was floaded with mud and leaves and covered any sign of reservation and they still towed me. I took pictures to them showing it was covered and I wasnt aware and they pretty much told me tough shit. I wish I had thought of the fart spray....I might go back and do it.

    I would like to think that being the good, local, regular customer you are that he would not wat you upset and at least take care of you inside the club in the future. If not, I'd find a different hangout for awhile; principalities involved.

    Wait....C called to get your van towed? That doesnt sound like him. I've seen cars left in that parking lot for days any he didnt have them towed. People get drunk and take cabs home all the time and pick up their car the next day. Bizarre.

    I cant believe you even drove your van there! I dont think I've EVER seen you drive that thing.lol

    I'm sure you know the cops there as well (well..almost...lol) as I do. See if they can do anything to help.

    What if C calls them and says he didnt know who the van belonged to and had it towed in error. He has some decent clout on the island. Of course....reg customer or not...you do still work for a rival club so.....umm...yeah...

    Nice going! Did you tell him after a while that he towed your car once and you'd gotten many times the value of its release from him as a customer?

    That's what I am hoping. If they comped me that couch a few times it would eventually add up to 300$. Whether he'd go that far remains to be seen. The staff there love me as I tip really well for even one drink and buy them all drinks, even the bartenders and waitresses for the end of their shifts. I've actually been comped the couch for the second hour more than once already as a result of that.


    I have talked to C before a few times and he hasn't seemed to hold the rivalry against me, especially as I spend a lot of money in his club haha! But he probably didn't know whose vehicle it was, it sure doesn't look like the vehicle of a high-spending customer. It's long overdue for replacement, but in this town there's not much point in having a nice car. I left it there a few days a year and a half ago when it wouldn't start and eventually had it towed myself to my mechanic--but I had told them the night I left it there first that it wouldn't start and it was mine, then again while I tried to get it to start the next night.

    I won't get a chance to talk to him as my schedule doesn't end until after sat night, but I sure will!


    Part of me wants revenge on the towing company whether or not I get comped for it, just on general principles. Oh and from what I hear one guy bought up all the towing companies in the area, which means he is getting filthy rich as especially during season there are any number of tourists to be fleeced thoroughly with outrageous and totally bogus 'storage fees', 'adinistrative fees', etc., not to mention the jacked-up price of the tow in the first place.

    Certainly his (the tow company) employees, though they were surly and rude, especially when I started protesting that I was parked there legally as a customer, did not appear to be rich or even all that well off. They looked like low-class scum, actually.

    This could take some research and planning. I am patient.

    That's you're best option for at least getting some of your money back. Tell the owner how much you spend at his club and that you were doing the responsible thing by taking a cab home. The owner could probably get some of your money back, if he really wanted to. The towing company wants his business, so they will listen to him.

    Some cities have caps on what tow companies can charge -- precisely because they rape people with their exorbitant fees (the idea that the consumer determines the value by what he is willing to pay does not apply to these "services"),... but the towing companies ignore city caps and people don't even know about them. Call the city or county and find out if there are any caps on non-consent tow charges. If the towing company has charged you in excess of the caps, you might have a procedure with the city to file a complaint against them or you can sue them in small claims court.

    Also, if they damaged your car in any way during the tow (wink wink), you can demand that they fix it, and take them to small claims court for the repair costs. But, you would have noticed it right away, right?

    I hate towing companies with a passion! They used to tow my car right out front of my college all the time (and it isn't a cheap school). The towing guy was such an ass too he used to up the bill so he would make more profit ugg. I never came up with really good revenge - I don't think he was too deeply wounded by my temper tantrum lol. I did manage to pay him in all one dollar bills - kinda fun to watch them count $200+ out in singles.

    Three months (and several thousand dollars later) he came to the club whimpering about how his wife is divorcing him, the company's financially fucked, I'm the sunshine in his life & how he could really use a friend. Blah blah blah. Like I care. I told him it was his karma, that he ran a corrupt business & now must face the consequences. He asked what I meant, to which I smiled & said: "You're such a twat - I know how you guys operate. You held my car for ransom 3 months ago. It doesn't feel good to be violated, does it?" Ass fucked WITHOUT lube!

    Every day at various times, from different phone numbers (or block your calls), call them and tell them your car is broken down and you need a tow. See how far you can get them to come. Work out and see if you can get them out to mm 20, 25, etc....but of course, you won't be there...or maybe you will...just as they drive up, you say "hey...my car started!" and drive off.

    See how many times you can get them to fall for this and how far out they'll go.

    Yeah that was the first idea I had, actually-- but they always ask for the license plate and all I thought. Also I have a very distinct voice, and they already talked to me when I was arguing with them. I will have to devise ways around this--I like that idea!

    ...maybe take a few stripper friends to the tow yard. Have them flirt and take pics and get names of every guy there. Then announce that those pics are going to be posted in your club and they are banned.

    ...say your loved one is slipping into a coma because they towed your car with her expensive (insert your choice of malady) medicine and if she dies you are suing them for manslaughter.

    I would hate to say this. But the fault was of Djoser who left the car unattended till the evening of the next day, without even notifying the club owner. Then why are we vilifying the towing company? The towing company is simply enforcing the will of the club owner.

    I never had even once my car towed away by a towing company. Why? It is because I respect other people’s private property. I do not park on other people’s property without their permission.

    It is more important to act in responsible manner than making villains out of poor towing people who work in the rain, in the cold and in the dark to help others who get stranded. That is their primary function but, because of irresponsible people they have to divert their attention to towing illegally parked vehicles. This in turn delays their response to a poor woman who got stranded in the middle of nowhere and needs an immediate tow.

    Why can’t we see things from others perspective once in a while?

    Also, please keep in mind disrupting a bonafide business is a criminal offense and will go to the prosecutor’s office if necessary. Of course, if you think you are smart enough to not get caught then please do not let me stop you.

    Two or three frozen hog carcasses placed in the trunk, maybe frozen fish guts from the marina should be more than enough time delay. Place them in the trunk, mix up some jb weld can coat the hinges and a few spots on the rim so the trunk cannot be opened. The hogs and fish guts ought to take 24-48 hours to thaw. a few holes knocked in the trunk and stuff can drip. If you have a mechanic buddy sabotage the tranny and the rear differential so that the car cannot roll and must be dragged.

    That should cover it.
