Well I agree the tow truck operator is ripping the customer off. I’m an electrician. How would he like it if I charged him $2000 to change a light switch and keep the power off in his house until he paid. But at this point not sure if the customer can do anything besides sue. Could it be considered car theft? Because each day he has the car at his shop he will charge storage fees. So can you steal someone’s car and trespass them from your property? This proposes an interesting court case.

[@daveredd9832]

@@LowSparkofHighHeeledBoys Here in Australia if you take your car to be repaired and can't pay the bill the mechanic can legally hold your car and even charge storage fees. I don't know how this highway law works in the US but if for instance your car breaks down on a motorway here in Oz and you don't organise getting it removed yourself you will become liable to pay whomever was contracted to remove it. And they charge like wounded bulls. So without more information about the circumstances about how the car came into their possession and the laws surrounding such matters it is premature to talk about litigation let alone calling it theft.

I’d like to get more details. Some tow companies operate illegally. They will tow cars parked legally, tow cars that ran out of gas and the owner is right there with a gas can, things like that. I wonder if that’s what happened here. The car broke down on the highway and when the owner showed up to get her car it was already gone. In most states you get a certain time period to remove your car after it breaks down before it can be towed. I don’t trust cops the same way I don’t trust towing companies.

[@YellaBellaReno]

Abandoned cars on the side of the road are dangerous, especially in high traffic areas. Where I live, you have 3 days to get it off of the side of the road, although you still get fined for every day it is left there. At least I think that’s right. I guess I just feel that the reason most people leave their car is because they can’t afford to tow it in the first place, so charging insane prices to release them is harmful. Ideally, the only time people should really be punished for this is if they abandon a car for non-brake-down reasons, like abandoning a stolen car they used to commit a robbery, for instance.

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

Re: boats...actually you can. Consult maritime law on salvage rights. The owner can get it back, but must pay you for it or abandon it to you. There's a legal process for salvage title, but isn't there always? That's the law on all US waters and navigable waterways.

This is NY! I grew up on Long Island, I’m not surprised at all they are charging $1100.00 for a tow and whatever the other fees are. In NY on certain days of the month they set up road blocks and pull people over for not wearing your seat belt, and for those of you that don’t live in NY did you know it’s 4 points off you’re license if you get a ticket. For those of you that think it’s ok because it’s about safety, I’m going to prove to you it’s all about stealing money from the people. In 2014 I was working in NY near JFK. I was told that on the service road off the Belt Pkwy cops on certain days would set up road blocks. I drove my car with Nebraska plates for years while I was living in NY. This particular day as I got off the parkway I saw the line of cars and saw the cops, I immediately took off my seat belt to see if they would give me a ticket. As I approached a woman cop puts out her hand for me to stop, she looked at me looked at my plate, turns around and I hear her say, to who I believe was her Sargent, “should I” he looks at my plate and shakes his head no, she then waves her hand for me to go. Before I hit the gas I put my seatbelt back on and when I got up to her I said to her what you’re doing is so wrong. You know damn well your ripping the people off and didn’t attempt to give me a ticket because you know I would have ripped it up right in your face. You see in the state of Nebraska it’s illegal for cops to set up road blocks checking to see if you’re wearing your seat belt. Of you’re an adult driver it should be your choice not the governments. It’s all about the revenue for the state. The people of NY are so stupid for allowing their government to do that. They would never get away with doing that in Nebraska.

[@el_bino_burrito_695]

There's a certain timely manner that you have to remove a car from public road ways or else in the eyes of the law the car is considered forfeit/abandoned and if it is called for tow with a orange marking in the window you have 24-48 hours to get it off or else a company can temporarily obtain the car, you then have until the company files fir lost title of the car to retrieve it.

Corporate Transparency Act is one obnoxious piece of legislation.

It's crazy that the Act has 23 entity exemptions...17 are directly tied to financial based business (including insurance companies), number 21 is specifically large operating companies (assuming this is due to Inc and large LLC having their own reporting requirements already) and number 23 is inactive companies... 3 of the remaining are Tax-Exempt or exempt support, with the last being Public Utility...

​@@jameshead9119most reasonable take. Simply not enough context to figure out this one. The owner kept saying "I paid $1100" presumably to get the vehicle. Paid who? When? Where? Why? Surely there must be receipts if what he's claiming is accurate. You'd think that the cops who always claim "investigation" as an excuse to do anything would actually do some surface level investigations. I'm a complete idiot and that would be the first thing I would ask for on arrival. No records to prove it was legit? Then the car goes out the lot, free or charge. If the receipts are legit? The car stays. Seems simple enough at least to help determine if this is a criminal case or a civil matter. If there's no records, then for all intents and purposes the car is like stolen property. If the records show he legit had a contract to remove it, then it's a civil matter. I don't know how they made this so unnecessarily complicated. Either he has legit claims backed by paperwork or he doesn't. This seems like it should be a very easy case to investigate.
