STOLEN VEHICLE 11/5/06 - UPDATE

[dbplug]

Thanks for the input. I kept checking the FDLE site for cars that were reported stolen. Mine did not come up for several days. I don't know when the ball was dropped or by whom. Yes indeed, they were in possession.

There are a few honest tow trucks around and there are some dishonest tow trucks.

A couple of years ago, my son's truck was towed from his apt. @ 4AM. It was parked illegally of course, but that's beside the point!

I took him to pick it up and noticed the tow truck office was under construction with no visible permit . As I paid the fine, I inquired about the construction permit. I was asked to leave!!!

I left and called C.O.T Code Inforcement and they put a slow down to the project.

Illegally parked or illegal construction????

You don't have to pay towing fees - show them a copy of the police report where you reported it stolen.

Civics are popular with those that boost cars.

Like Atticus said...

Unless you want to give them a reward..

Glad you got it and to hell with the theives...

[Mr Flats]

YOU may want to thank them, BUT they should have notified you the day it was towed....

They just are stealing 10 days of fees from you....

I would take them to court over it....

Whenever they tow a vehicle, it is THEIR responsibility to inform the owner promptly. Also, they WERE in possession of a stolen vehicle for 10 days....right? I mean, you DID report it to police didn't you?

My 2 cents worth.....

I completely agree. Don't let their incompetence hit you in the wallet! Glad you go your car back!

Its good to hear you have your car back and nobody profited from your loss.

My tip is, now sell it.

In 30 odd years we have had two cars stolen, both recovered without damage.
It just didn't feel right driving them afterwards.
They were both sold and replaced withing a month.
