Mr. C's Towing towed my vehicle without any Clearly Posted Warning sign in Los Alamitos California

Please be advised that Mr. C’s Towing owes me the sum of $398.00 because pursuant to California Law AB 2210, Clearly Posted Warning requirement, A tower must have written consent from the property owner or his agent, who must have waited one hour before calling for the tow.

Also, a sign not less than 17 inches by 22 inches in size should be displayed in plain view at all entrances to the property. It should prohibit public parking and indicate that vehicles will be removed at the owner’s expense, and post the telephone number of the local traffic law enforcement agency and the name and telephone number of each towing company that is a party to a written general towing authorization agreement with the property owner.

On December 5th, 2019, Mr. C’s towing towed my vehicle, 2003 Silver Honda Civic LIC # 5CQF495, VIN # 2HGES26773H580641, from a spot in the alley way behind my residence at 3778 Green Ave, Los Alamitos, CA 90720 at 2250 hrs.

The spot had no clearly posted warning, and did not tell me who to call. I was exhausted after having returned from a training flight to Paso Robles with my national guard helicopter unit. I assumed my vehicle had been stolen. I called the Los Alamitos police department who informed it had been towed by Mr. C’s towing.

I paid Mr. C’s $398 at 2335 hrs (less than 45 minutes after initial hook up per their receipt for charges) to recover my vehicle which still had my aviation life support equipment and flight gear (government property) in the trunk which is worth as much as the car itself. I needed to get the gear back for another follow mission the next day.
