I parked my car at the Virginia Commerce Bank to use the ATM.  From the ATM I walked across the street to lend a friend some cash.  I walk back to the bank and my car was gone.  seriously, I was towed in under 5 mins.  Obviously this is a location that is staked out and they are towing without any discretion.  I used the ATM so technically I was not parking in violation.  I believe Virginia Commerce bank gets a cut of these towing fees because this practice is very despicable and I don't think they would find this action appropriate unless they were getting something out of it.  I plan on pursuing this issue with Advanced Towing Company, John ONeill (the Owner), Virginia Commonwealth Bank and Arlington County.

I used the ATM so technically I was not parking in violation.

- If you were using the ATM and they towed you while you were using it then yes you would be correct.  However you were done using the ATM.  Once you left that parking lot you were not currently conducting business with the bank(or any other business in that lot).

So one of two things happened.  Either they were watching that lot because they have a problem with people parking and leaving.  If this was the case since you had left the lot you were towed.  The other possibility(or perhaps in addition too the first) is that were gone more than 5 minutes because they had enough time to call the tow company, have the tow company arrive and tow it away.  It is not like you saw the tow truck there towing it away, or see it going down the street.  Your car was already gone by the time you got back.

I guess perhaps next time you want to lend a friend some cash you should have them come with you to the ATM, or drive to where they are.
