Definitely. You basically implied it in your first post.

For the record, the OP and I have been in close communication and he is absolutely a stand up guy. The left turn this took is the result of his efforts.
This is gonna be awesome...

It’s a tease but I’ll keep following this saga.

Ahh they’re trying to retaliate on Bruce? Nice. Hopefully they do it in writing.

I have no beef with a tow company working in this capacity and earning a living that way. Shady behavior is the tow lot had my motorcycle for over a year before contacting me. Only time I was contacted was when they filed for title.
Yeah, I get that 100%. If I were in your shoes I’d have been just as pissed.
I will say this, just to play devil’s advocate - a tow lot that’s contracted by police to hold impounded vehicles likely sees a TON of cases where the owner either can’t or won’t pay the fee and pick up their vehicle. Which means their business is probably built around holding the vehicle for years, obtaining the title, and selling it.
That business model is potentially a cash flow nightmare so I’m sure they exert the bare minimum effort needed on their part to notify the owner, who isn’t really even their customer. Yeah, it’s sketchy. But somebody has to do it, and if the cops don’t have their own lot, that means a private company who needs to turn a profit.
Again, I’d have been furious if I had been in your shoes. And you’re right that it shouldn’t be THAT damned difficult to create a system where the owner is notified immediately, regardless of how long it’s been - especially when the police of all people are the ones having the stolen vehicle towed.

This is they kind of thread that has made this place glorious for the 13+ years I’ve been here.
Even with all the shitty young posters and democrats, it’s shite like this and mustard pickle pie threads that keep us coming back.

You're a first year grad student. You just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably, you’re gonna be convinced of that until next month when you get to James Lemon, then you’re gonna be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year, you’re gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin’ about, you know, the Pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.

To be fair, Bob would've commandeered a horse by force, rode bareback to MS, vaulted the fence and fed those punkolas the bike back to them one piece at a time.

They let something slip that gave their operation away.

<-----not a lawyer
If they didn't do the work claimed, and were demanding payment for work they never did on property they were withholding for payment on fraudulently claimed work. . .
That is felony extortion, isn't it?

Yeah, you're talking about a business that has to have enough real estate as a salvage yard without the benefit of actually being able to part out vehicles and sell immediately.
Compounding that, they have to navigate government bureaucracy to obtain titles for some, if not all of the vehicles they take in. I had to figure this out myself when I purchased a vehicle and the motherfricker skipped titles on me. It's not even easy to get DMV to answer the phone.

This keeps getting better and better. Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for the detail update.

And the local cop was thrilled to help because he gets to bust up a chop shop.

Keep in mind it’s stolen property they were withholding as well. The only thing that would make something like that worse is if you used the postal service in the commission of that. I’m not a lawyer either so I’m just pondering, of course.
