Argh! (Pointless thread)
So I went out to a small little party last night and I left my car at my grandma's apartment so I can carpool with my bro and his friends. I left it there cause I thought it would be safe but when I got back to my car at 4:00am my baby was gone. Turns out I can only stay there till 2:00am. Ughhh now I'm just waiting for the manager of the apartment to call me with the towing companys number...just the thought of how careless the towers must have treated my car makes me cringe. And they probably just used hooks and cables on my car instead of using the much preferred flat bed tow truck. This is the first time any of my cars have ever been towed and its the worst freaking feeling ever.....there better not be any damage on my car or im gonna flip. If there is, is there nothing I can do about it?

Make sure you go all around the car and inspect it for marks when you pick it up (ive had my 04' TL towed 3 times). They'll give you a paper where they wrote down any previous damage done before the towing.
If you see something that wasn't there before the towing let the person working there know and if they argue then you'll need to have your insurance inspect the car and do an investigation.
from my experience they only use flatbeds if you call a tow truck, most of the time if its an illegal parking situation they use a crappy old hook truck.
hope your tsx is alright man. let us know what happens.

you gotta do what you gotta do. i wouldnt worry much though, if there are damages your insurance company will make sure the tower pays for every single penny.
and if they lie well then you can sue them on top of that. which is why alot of towing companies are very careful about causing damage to cars when they are towed.
insurance companies will do whatever it takes to not pay for damages if there is another party responsible for them.
the only thing is if you have to go your insurance, then its gonna be a loong process. but you'll be in good hands.
good luck man.

Pointless continuation.
I was at the Spring Break Nationals in Daytona in 96 with my Ligtning p/u. I parked right next to a m/c cop got out said "hello officer" and went to the show.
Came back an hour later and my truck was gone. The same fat ba$tard on the bike rode by and gave me a sheet of paper of how to go to the courthouse, pay the ticket, get a cab to the impound lot, blah blah.
Corksuckers.

wow hearing about all your guys' misfortunes actually makes me feel a bit better haha. I got my car back and there were some scratches on my muffler but thats about all I could find. I payed $122 and I just left.
Another funny story....my friend parked his car on the side street of his apartment like he always does and went to bed like normal. He woke up next morning to the sound of trumpets and people celebrating. He looked out the window and he forgot that the gay parade is going down the street that day. He looked to where he parked his car and yeap you guessed it...it was gone haha.

My car didn't get towed, but when I lived in Orlando I did unknowingly take my wife & 3 kids to Disney during "Gay Days" one year. I remember walking around saying to myself "Damn, there sure are a lot of lesbians in red shirts here today."

Yeah, it was the first year we moved there. After we figured it out, it was all good except for the right-to-lifers protesting Gay Days. I'm like...if there were any segment of the population *not* contributing to the abortion crisis...it's the gays/lesbians.
