Angry my car got towed!

ok now its my turn to rant!

today at 5, i just found out my car got towed by stoneridge towing in mapunapuna. the operator said they used a dolly in the back of my wheels so all 4 wheels was off the ground while being towed there.

any way after i paid 145 and drove home later i found out my sideskirt paint was damaged! the sideskirt seems to be fine but the paint was chiped the size of a golf ball!!

what can i do?????

PS. LIFE SUCKS! and have a good easter weekend.

Unfortunately, probably not much... you could file a complaint but I doubt it would get you anywhere. Damn that's a sucky *** way to end a week.

you should have inspected your ride when you were still there. then ask those fools WTF?
unfortunatly, i dont think they'll do anything about it now. they'll prolly just say that you did it yourself after they towed your ride. those tow truck guys have no respect for other ppls rides

unfortunately... absolutely nothing.... most towing companies have a nice little sign that says "We will not be held responsible for any loss of property or damage done to vehicles". you just gotta bend over and take it... j/k dude. seriously though- i'd probably try for retribution if i were you, but its unlikely that anything will be done.

why was it towed?

papers say it was a "traffic violation"

i guess i parked too close to a corner of a intersection. which in fact more like a back road of a beach.

Oh by the way i still gotta pay a $35 to city and county for a written up ticket.

I AM SO ****ING ***** right now!

WHY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

should be a parking violation. if its a "backroad" i almost bet a resident probably complained about it. most cops generally don't bother with parking violations unless someone "calls" about it.
