Retriever Towing Another Land Pirate Story, Internet

Just wanted to send another story about towing.

About 9 pm on a Friday night, my 17 yr old son parked in an apartment complex to get his friend. He was inside the apartment 3 minutes getting the young man and talking to the parents. When they came outside, my truck which he was driving, was already hooked up and being towed. He and his friend ran down the driver who told him he had no permit and the truck was being towed. He was in the apartment 3 min. The driver saw him park and waited until he left. He told my son he could pay $180 now or a parking fee of $197 the next day. There are signs posted in the parking lot with this warning. However, there are no designated visitor spaces

I met them there and called the police. The police shared with us that there was nothing that we could do and that this happens often.

I guess this is another story that we see on your reports but figure it wont happen to us. However, it seems that an opportunity to catch a teen for a mistake was found by a tow truck driver who now will make an extra $180.
