Rendered Services Inc. North Car was towed with dog in it, after parking for 3 minutes in an empty lot for a closed business. Chicago, Illinois

I pulled into the Einstein Bros. parking lot at 3455 N Clark St. Upon walking up to the building, I realized it closed at 5:30 PM. It was 8:30 PMish on a Tuesday. I instead, went next door to Dimo's pizza where my friend manages, to grab a slice for dinner. By the time I had gotten back to my car, literally no more than 4 minutes (there was no line at Dimo's, it was 30 ft from my car, and my friend gave me a free slice so there was no check out), my car was gone. I would not be filing this complain if it were not for the fact that my dog was in the car. He is a tall, 50 lb. dog...not hard to miss. Not only did they tow my car in <4 minutes when the parking lot was 100% empty and the business had been closed for 3 hours, but they did not even check the car before they towed it. I immediately hoped in a cab and drove the 4 miles over to Rendered Services Inc North. I was furious when I arrived, not because my car was towed, but because of the BLATANT negligence on the towing company's part. The receptionist who made me pay $200 to get my car out showed no sense of remorse for the fact that my dog was in the car. Instead, she blamed me for being an irresponsible dog owner. She was completely rude. I am the most responsible dog owner there is, I would never leave my dog alone for more than just running into a fast food joint. What if that had been a child in the car and not a dog? A 5-6 year old is certainly not taller and no more obvious than my dog sitting in the front seat. What if my dog had a health condition? This could have been a very bad situation. It is completely unacceptable that they would not check for a child/dog before towing the car. My dog is normally not a skiddish dog...not afraid of anything or anyone. Very happy and friendly. I found him shaking on my seat and whimpering. The poor thing was scared to death because he knows I would never abandon him like that. Not only that, but I did not deserve to be towed. I intended to go to Einstein's. They must of been sitting, watching me, ran up as soon as I entered Ian's, and towed my car. They are money hungry, rude, indecent business, with no regard for animal or child safety. They are completely irresponsible and this is unacceptable.
