Okay, well its beginning to be quite an issue around here. Predatory towing. If you don't have a parking sticker in the wrong apartment complex, you lose $250 in a few minutes...rediculous
Do any of you have any ways to prevent this? I heard there are none, and figured there has to be something being that we have huge heavy trucks?
And no a holes that say " dont park in an illegal spot", you dont always know its illegal

- If there is no sign that prohibits parking in certain areas but they are really prohibited, that needs to be brought up to the owner of the complex.

The park in 4wd thing doesnt work. Ive had a tow company break the lock on my jeep to put the transfer case in neutral after the thing rolled off the back of the tow truck. My truck has been towed in the same situation-being at a different apartment plus no sticker- I honestly dont think theres a way around tow companies doing predatory towing. Just cross your fingers and hope tonight isnt your night to get screwed.

I'm not exactly following the story entirely here, are you parked in the apartment complex that you live in? If it's where YOU live, you should have a parking sticker confirming that the vehicle is owned by someone residing in that complex, if that's how they run their business over there. As for you getting towed where there are no "no parking" signs, there is something more to the story.

Holy **** man what are not understanding. Have you never gone to a party at another persons apartment complex? Where are you going to park? Oh **** in the parking lot.. but wait you dont have a sticker, what do you do? You get let in and then towed when the dicks come around and see you dont have a sticker.
