I parked the bobtail in a wide open winn dixie shopping center parking lot with still hundreds of spaces open. We had tornado warnings out last night so i slept down the road at my parents house. Woke up early this morning and took a walk back and the truck was gone. It's costing me over $600 and a lot of unnecessary stress to get it back. I probably showed up less than 30 mins after they towed it. I'm so ####ing angry right now. I didn't think they were supposed to do that if you had no trailer unless the parking lot was packed

That sucks!

Is there a sign that says no trucks (they will consider a bobtail a truck too lots of times)

It's private property man. You can't park a truck on private property and wonder off. You can't even do that with a regular car.

Probably the store manager and the local towing company have an agreement worked out. Trucks, bobtail or otherwise, are easy to spot and isolate as a likely property "offender". It sucks but it is what it is and this will happen more and more in the future, all over.
Somewhere there is probably a small sign, and many don't make a distinction between trucks and trucks with trailers especially if it's been there more than 45 minutes and you're not likely inside shopping.AceMatt Thanks this. -
I keep looking for the part where you asked permission, or even told someone that you were going to leave your vehicle there overnight.

Why didn't you park it at your parents house?passingthru69, misterG, roshea and 2 others Thank this. -
OP, did you ask the store for permission to park there? Did you at least leave a note in the window with a phone number to call if it needed to be moved or something?
From what I see, you parked your truck bobtail on private property without express permission and then.. it got towed. Sorry bud. That sucks, I completely agree. But it's completely on you.91B20H8, misterG, 51.50 and 1 other person Thank this. -
