Is this the same guy who posted about CPS and claims that his place needed leaning or something similar?
Turned out it was just a story that had no point but gained traction.. |

Does OP realize it was possible to make this thread in a much more believable light that what has been posted?
It is really hard to believe any of this. Cap it off with the incomplete sentence at the stop light, with the cliff hanger of what the wrecker driver gave him? Seems totally troll. Don't know if it is, but the whole thing seems troll. |
|
I want to make sure I have this straight: OP's car is towed, OP drives to the TT driver's house, driver is confronted, driver says, "I don't know where your car is" yet this is the TT driver that towed the car.
Still standing by my claim of BS |

Quoted: OK just got back. The tow truck driver gave me an image of the TX DL of the person who complained about my vehicle. Except I don't know of anyone working in this bldg that matches that description. Driver said my car was hauled off to an auto storage yard near downtown. Driver seemed very cooperative. He's Hispanic, but doesn't seem to be a career criminal. Who knows though, right? View Quote So someone can complain about a legally parked vehicle, have it towed, and a tow-operator will just do it without question? |

Those things need to be relegated to 70s metal-bumper cars, Econoline vans, and the like. Expect the bumper plastics to be heavily-damaged if you ever get your car back. |

Quoted: Quoted: Lol, knew it was going to have been legally towed. Except it wasn't "legally" towed Of course it was. You call the impound yard, pay the fine, and get it back. That is how this works. |

Was it backed in with no front plate? Are there no signs in the lot identifying the towing authorities? Post some more pics, it sounds like you have lots, maybe even video. Buy yourself back some credibility. Remember GD is nearly as full of autistic sleuths as the next site. You might try getting some vehicles towed of others parked there that you don't like. |

They drive by, see a car that shouldn’t be there and tow it. No one even has to report it. Have you really never experienced this before? It sucks. I’ve had it happen on public land, in the middle of the desert, while on an all day hike. Came back, no truck. This was before cell phones. It took hours for another car to come by and would have been a couple days hike out. |

So assuming this is all true, you caught the guy who stole your car, and he told you he took it to some non-specific place, and then you just said "okay?"

Tow truck had to either be called by property owner/manager or LEO. They don't just run around towing cars.
(I eliminated the repo option since you said it was paid off, but I guess it could always be a case of mistaken identity.) |

View Quote In all of the places I’ve lived they had standing contracts and patrolled the lots themselves. Maybe laws have changed or it varies state to state? |

No legit tow company would sling that car.
The costs of damages would be immense. He stole it and probably dropped at a chop shop. |
|

Nice. I have never seen a crewed TT before! So, no signs in the lot of the responsible tow companies? |
|
If the tow truck driver showed you a pic of the person's driver's license, go to the home address on the license and ask them WTF is going on.

The person in the DL is a youngish White guy who looks like an engineer or something. No one like that works in this bldg. It's a small bldg with just a few tenants. |

Is that a Kia? Blessing in disguise. Now you can buy a car that's not a shitbox.

If the property owner or manager didn't call that tow truck it is theft whether by mistake or confusion it is still theft and the cops should be investigating.
