[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 171094, member: 483"] Last week I bought a used, non-running Acura. I borrowed my buddy's trailer to tow it to my shop and then returned his trailer. I immediately took the title to the county clerk's office to get it transferred to my name and they said they needed the vehicle there to verify mileage since it was an out of state title. I told them it wasn't running right now and they said no problem, just bring it to them when it is. I asked them about driving to them without a plate (since you can't get a plate without a title) and they said that was allowed in cases like this and if I get pulled over to just show the officer the title. So 2 days later I have the vehicle fixed at my shop, which is 30 minutes away from my house over a toll bridge. So to get to my shop I have to drive a vehicle there. The problem occurs now that I have 2 running vehicles that need to get across the bridge. I drive the one without a plate to the toll booth, go across, and park on the other side of the booth with plans to go get it with my wife later on. It was 7:30pm when I parked it. I have a buddy pick me up on the other side of the booth so that he doesn't have to pay the toll and he brings me back to the shop to get my other car. I then drive home at which point my pregnant wife was supposed to drive me back to the toll booth to get the other car. But she wasn't home, she was still at work, and she said she wasn't feeling well so I said, screw it, we can just go get it in the morning. I go to get it in the morning and its been towed. Call the tow truck service. They got called at 2am to go tow the "abandoned vehicle." They say to get it back I have to pay them $100 for the tow and $30 for a day's storage fee. (They aren't open July 4th, so I automatically get charged for one day.) My car was in the toll booth parking lot for 6.5 hours when it was deemed abandoned and subsequently towed! There are no signs in the lot that say anything to the effect of "No overnight parking." The lot is paved with probably about 20 painted, demarcated parking spots in it, only about 4 of which are ever used by the toll booth authority. Am I in the wrong here to think that whoever called the tow company should be the ones to pay the $130 that they want? The night manager of the toll booth is the one who called the Sheriff and the Sheriff is the one who authorized the tow. His name is Sgt. Richtman and he doesn't go back on duty until 9pm tonight. J.
