just don’t think you want to leave him with the impression your church is the kind of place where the members have hard-ons to call the tow company within just 1 hour of the end of the service and then stick him with the bill.
It’s not an impression, that’s exactly what happened. What a crappy situation, not a chance in hell I’d go back there. Even if I get reimbursed

Though, what authority did the church member have to request the tow?
It was God's will.

Not judging anyone, just stating that a church not welcoming anyone for any reason seems ridiculous to me. The fact that he feels the need to ask TD and not talk with the pastor also seems pretty questionable. A church should never turn people away, especially over parking. They certainly shouldn’t allow people to be punished financially to utilize their facilities.

If you park your car on private property without permission what do you expect to happen, the property owner track you down and say please move your car? They can legally take your car because the property owner told them to, and signed the tow ticket. I know this because I’ve signed a bunch of them.
The scumbag towing companies then hold your car and make you pay for that "service". They then charge you by the day for that "service" even though I don't want said "service".
This is like calling your internet provider and said you want your service cut off on the last day of your contract and them saying you have to wait a few extra days until they can get someone out to your house to pick up your equipment. For fun, they decide to wait an extra 6 days and you get charged for those 6 days even though you asked them to cut your service earlier. That shite would absolutely not fly.
How towing companies get away with this and don't get charged with extortion blows my mind.

In what world does this seem fair or like it should be legal?
In the world of kickbacks.

It doesn’t matter where you get towed from - even your own place.. the tow company expects to get paid for the work they did. So theres absolutely no point in even going to them about it. It’s on the church or the car owner at this point.
I’ve had friends towed from the own apartments. The tow company doesn’t GAF and will not give you the car without collecting.
That is insane they have zero legal liability for taking property without verifying legitimacy.
