Just heard from my friend that her car was missing when she walked back to it after shopping- thought it was stolen, but turns out the lot has a sign posted that says words to the effect that they tow cars if it is not taken with you when you leave the property for any time. So they did-
This is a strip mall shopping area, and a bunch of shops are all in walking distance, and one of the areas she went to was across the street, in addition to the stores she went to directly connected to the lot.
They want $150 bounty before releasing the car. Haven't picked it back up yet, as she has no way to get to the yard without a car, so who knows what damage they've wrought on it to boot.
So, my question is, is this a foolproof operation they've got going here? Apparently, they're saying what you need to do if you want to go to a shop across the street, you have to drive your car there and park it again. Being Long Island, people drive everywhere, but this is pretty ridiculous-
Is there any legal recourse to disputing this, or are they shooting fish in a barrel?
