 On August 24th, my husband and I parked on Michigan Avenue in Atlantic City to enjoy the beach for the day.  There were vehicles in front of and behind us.  There were NO signs stating that it was illegal to park there or that it was a towing zone.  Later on that day, we find out that our vehicle was towed by the Atlantic City Police Department.  To add insult to injury, the impounding facility would not accept a debit card so I had to cross a 4 lane major highway, jump over a concrete median divider and dash into a small gas station to get to the closest ATM.  Naturally, the ATM would only allow a maximum of $100 deductions so thankfully, I had more then one debit card and account. 

After risking my life to cross the highway again to get back to the impounding facility, I surrendered my $175 and was allowed to drive my vehicle out of what looked like a car lot.  Absolutely, insanely, ridiculous!  Is AC in that much financial distress that they have taken to illegally towing vehicles and then making it life-threatening to access an ATM machine.

Good bye Atlantic City - I will never return.

Why don't you just answer the questions.

What does the parking sign(that is obviously in the picture you took) say?

What was the reason they gave you for the tow when you picked up your car?

 However, for the sake of humane, intelligent species of the human kind, it is quite obvious you work for or in conjunction with the AC PD towing organization. I wish you the best. When you are stranded in an unfamiliar city with no money, your choices are limited. Enjoy Donald trump as president. ... You obviously sound like one of his supporters.

There were vehicles in front of and behind us.  There were NO signs stating that it was illegal to park there or that it was a towing zone.

- Really?  Perhaps you should take another look at your picture you posted.  Right on the post at the end of the block(which is legal) is a parking sign.  You don't have to have parking regulations posted on every post, generally only once every few hundred feet or per block is enough.  It is YOUR responsibility to be well aware of all of the parking regulations.

If I was a betting man the reason you were towed is because you parked in an area that required a permit, very common in beach communities.  Of course that is something you did not have.  Other possibilities were that you were in a metered area and didn't pay(and many cities are removing individual meters) going to a central pay point.  You were blocking a doorway/driveway.   Parked in a "No Parking" Spot (Red curb) or loading zone.  Of course it could be many other things as well.

Because remember you were not towed by some "Renegade" towing company, you were towed by Law Enforcement.

So when you picked up your vehicle, what was the reason they gave you for the tow?  You also failed to mention that.

Towed....

 If your vehicle was towed BY THE POLICE, then YOU were parked someplace YOU should not have. YOUR IGNORANCE doesnt give YOU a pass!!! Just because YOU didnt see a sign, doesnt change the reality of the situation. WHY is it ALWAYS a scam when YOU FAIL to use your eyes?? YOU CHOSE to park where YOU did. YOU get to deal with the consequences of that choice. In no way did the police instruct YOU to park THERE!! This was YOUR CHOICE!!!! As for YOU having to cross several lanes of traffic, well THAT was on YOU as well. YOU CHOSE to be unsafe and JAYWALK!!!!HOW this is ANYONEs fault beyond YOURS is beyond me.YOU are a VICTIM of YOUR CHOICES!!! Perhaps the REAL issue is that YOU just wanted to get to the beach and YOU didnt CARE!! YOU were focusing soley on getting there and NOT PAYING ATTENTION!!! Did you perhaps stop and think that MAYBE the sign that had relevence to YOUR situation wasnt facing YOU?? So YOU look around and you dont IMMEDIATLY see a sign for no parking so YOU figured YOU were safe!!! The reality is that you just didnt see a sign and wish to NOW blame ANYONE ELSE before admitting that YOU are the SCREW UP!!!! What I find AMAZING is that YOU spend all this time blaming everyone else ON A MEDIA OUTLET!!!! If the police chose to THEY could not only prove that YOU PERSONALLY wrote this pile of crap YOU call a post, but THEY can get a court order so easily!!! What YOU have done is defamation!!! THAT IS A CRIME!!!!!Good bye "Rose"!!! Atlantic City doesnt NEED your kind!!! You know self entitled spoiled little brats with the intellegence of your average mollusk!!
