Unlawful Towing at Agave Restaurant - Lafayette

On January 30th, over Mardi Gras weekend in Lafayette, my buddy had his car towed at Agave Mexican Grill and Cantina. He paid $218 to get his car back from the towing company. So far, this sounds like nothing new to people who have had their car towed once or twice before.

However, he and 11 of his friends went to Agave that night, had dinner and drinks, paid their bill and exited the building....only to find that his legally parked car was towed. It wasn't just his car though. Four other vehicles were towed as well.

He tried to get in touch with the towing company, and they redirected him to Agave. Agave tells him that it is not their fault and stake no claim in this case. Soon after, the Lafayette Police Department visited the restaurant.

In a nutshell, it's not about the money. We all chipped in $20/each and called it a day. He felt the need to reach out to Agave Management based on principle. He wanted someone to take responsibility for these actions, and instead, they walked away from the situation completely. An email was sent out on Sunday morning to Agave Management, as it was their parking lot and negligence in properly providing these "car tags" upon arrival. And for 5 days....no response. Just want to know if you've been screwed over like this before at a restaurant. TIA

And yeah I know....TL:DR, but whatever.
