Are LSU students still at war with Riverside Towing?

It seems like that story has died down in recent months.
I can't believe you still see people parking by BWW and walking across the street to those restaurants in droves. It's naive mothers, fathers, grandparents, etc. You're begging to get towed.

If I am ever diagnosed with a terminal illness I will take them out.
As I have no ties to BR anymore I just don't care.

I understand the business of riverside towing and I am not mad about it. What does piss me off with them is the outrageous prices they charge.
No telling what is is now, but back in 2008 I had my tahoe towed and it was $200. That's just stupid.

I don't see how it isn't illegal. I would love to find someone who has only paid the bare minimum posted prices you see. There is always some bullshite extra charge whether it be for weekend, night time, etc.

We showed up 2 minutes after they "closed" and it became nighttime. They were trying to make us pay more than we had on us.
My dad flipped, but I know how to work this shite. I told him to get in the truck and I fake cried. It worked.. but I wouldn't exactly call it a "deal" since it's still outrageous.
That said, you can't be mad at them. Be mad at the businesses they employ them. They don't set up shop without being hired on by another business.

Yup, death to riverside. It's the tiger jihad.

Most people don't have a problem with Riverside towing cars out of lots when people park there and walk to other businesses. People have a problem with riverside when they tow people illegally. They tow visitors' cars out of visitor spots at Campus Crossing, they tow customer's cars out of the BWW lot while people are inside eating at BWW or Pita Pit, they stalk people and tow people with expensive electronics that are visible, they tow people from lots they are not authorized to tow from (i.e. LSU lots since those are supposed to be reserved for Guy's Towing), They tow cars with their tags hanging from their rightful spots, ect. At the end of it all, you have to pay in cash to get your car back (even if they towed it illegally) in cash (no pennies). They quote you one price on the phone, but when you arrive, it's a different higher price to get your car back. The police refuse to prosecute when people attempt to file charges for unlawful theft in the case of a wrongful tow. There are multiple class action lawsuits against them, but the BR courts keep delaying them and delaying them indefinitely, hoping they'll just go away. They are TPOS to the core, and there's good reason why they have an F from the better business bureau.

I had my truck towed once on some bullshite neighbor that called and said I was parked illegally.
I went to get my truck, and I wanna say it was around $300 for me to get my truck. Here's the kicker, I tried to pay with check or credit card. NOPE, cash only! Had to get my gf to drive me to the bank to get $300 cash.
