    Some towing companies are just sleazy They solicit businesses to keep their lot clean of unwanted vehicles with a cut of the fee.
    They work the graveyard shift grabbing as many vehicles as possible and booting ones they can’t tow.

    Great business model, but sleazy.

    That’s America though

    Justice would be to find one of their trucks parked and put a boot on it.

    It is posted no truck parking. Drivers just ignore the signs. Don't blame them for booting and towing. I also don't feel sorry for the drivers that get towed or booted. Stupidity should be expensive.

    The boots are pretty cheap, if they boot you, boot them back. Eye for an eye. BOOT.jpg
