Here's a tip if you don't wanna get fricked with

Back your vehicle into your parking spot.
Turn your tires full lock.
Set your parking break.

That way when they do get your vehicle, it will be 100% fricked up.

Riverside would rip your shite up onto their flatbed regardless.

With this method they'll just lift the front wheels and pull it straight out.

I volunteer at the Players Championship in Ponte Vedra in the parking lot. We mostly drink beer. Anyway, I've seen where those tow truck drivers can get cars out of. The driver this year showed me how they do it. You can't escape.

lolololololololololololol

Man They have dollys to put on your wheels so it will move, but riverside don't even go that far, they will just drag your shite. I had video of them fricking up a Firebird that was parked like that. They made that thing squeal and make so much noise.

I'm starting to hate Moons even more. A buddy broke down and left his car on the side of the road in Waggaman, it got towed all the way to Causeway where Moon's is. He pays for it and they bring his car out with a fricking fork lift. They ripped the front bumper moving it and then say "we are not responsible for damage"

frick all tow truck drivers, even you Big Lee, but only because your lights all over your rig annoy me.

Here's a better tip: If you get towed on a Saturday night, wait until Monday to go get your vehicle. They open on Sunday, but they charge an extra fee for "Off Hours Pickup" that is greater than the additional day.

Riverside would tow the car behind you so they can get to the tail of your car

It doesn't work that way. I have seen tow truck personnel jimmy the lock on vehicles' doors so they can get inside the vehicle and make necessary adjustments to make their tow job easier. I had always thought that "breaking into a car" was illegal, but I guess that tow truck drivers can do it without penalty.

Unfortunately, this will only allow them to use special equipment such as "slide outs" and then charge you extra money. For information about what you can do to stop predatory towing by Riverside and others, join up at LINK /
