Almost towed downtown

[FilthyMcNasty]

Alright, so i parked in a reserved parking downtown. Not my parking but i still parked there cause its always empty. The parking stall is in such a way that you cannot tow the car directly from there because its facing a wall and there is a small 1 foot hump to get into the stall.

Well I hear the car horn honking from my window at my work and I run downstairs and the fucken tow truck driver broke into my car to move it out of the stall to tow it. My car was sitting in the middle of the alley way. He said he is allowed to do this according to the City of Calgary. Is this true? Tow truck drivers can break into your car in order to move it to tow?

Anyways he ended up not towing the car and there was no ticket even issued. He left as i was moving my car into a place that did not block the alley way. Fucken douche...

So YOU park illegally, and he's the douche?

[FilthyMcNasty]

Dude call me whatever i dont care... but im just a little angered about the fact that they can break into your car. I am well aware i was not supposed to park there. And a ticket is justifed, NOT breaking and entering.

this, say it was a different case and the car is either in gear, has the ebrake on or both and a firetruck needed the hydrant where it was parked.. illegally, they are allowed to do so and hold a license to carry slim jims, same goes for automotive technicians and of course locksmiths i think.

edit: exactly, that hydrant 2 pics above , always the douchebags pulling those stunts huh. lol

anyways, you deserve it OP

How did he move the car out? Put it into Neutral and push it? I'd be fuckin pissed as well... especially because a ticket wasn't issued.

I was parked in a reserved spot last summer and got to the car just as the tow truck driver was getting ready latch onto the rear wheels. He didn't notice me approach my car so I just got into it and peeled off. He jumped a bit when the car started as he was by my rear wheels, but I figure if he hadn't latched on yet, so fuck him.

There also wasn't a tow ticket issued, and no parking authority near by... I thought the parking guys had to issue a ticket for your car to get towed?

Section 78 of the TSA... allows for forcible entry into vehicles to move them, get things out of them, etc...

and no, you don't need to be ticketed to be moved. They can simply move your car out of the way instead of giving you a $25 ticket.
