I have NO DOUBT that some of them are crooks...but that goes for ALL industries...the bottom line...if you are stupid enough to park in a parking lot...most of which are PLAINLY marked, downtown..you probably deserve the drive of shame to a distant land to get your car back...as I SAID BEFORE...if it isn't marked well..it's kinda crappy to get towed...but MOST areas downtown are clearly marked unless you just aren't paying attention...

and for the record...I don't work nor have I ever worked for anything related to the auto repair/towing industry....
