Provo tow truck drivers are NOT people

I had a roommate get a boot for having one wheel 1/2 inch ON (not over) the line

9/1/15 7:15pm

Your roommate should have learned to park properly.

9/1/15 7:22pm

This would be a legitimate argument if Provo apartment complexes had

It's tough to park a Geo Metro between the lines at some of the complexes, let

I'm surprised you didn't argue that the global warming cause the wheel to expand

Bob Vance

9/1/15 9:25pm

That would be out of character since cars ARE the problem.

9/1/15 10:35pm

Wasn't there some story on here about some guy that got a boot on his car

UNLVcougar

9/1/15 7:32pm

I know someone that did this and campus police charged him with vandalism

cougarfann888

9/1/15 8:36pm

What??!!! Did he damage the boot? How would they even prove it was him that

UNLVcougar

9/1/15 8:39pm

This happened to my friend, but it was off-campus (Provo police) instead of

fredgarvin

9/1/15 8:56pm

It's a fairly easy circumstantial case to prove he took it off.

cougarfann888

9/1/15 9:10pm

He just needs to dump the boot once off and say it wasn't him.

Typically, you can get a boot off with a spark plug socket and a wrench

I have a friend whose motorcycle got booted.

That's hilarious.

UNLVcougar

Agree with you. Don't care to type the details, but Those guys sure know how

OmahaThunderCoug

9/1/15 7:34pm

Is there any thing they could do that wouldn't tick people off?

SpiffCoug

9/1/15 7:35pm

Probably not, but some of the things they do is downright awful. They

OmahaThunderCoug

9/1/15 7:43pm

That's exactly what they do.

byuluvr

9/1/15 7:58pm

I hate Provo towing companies but it sounds like the decision to tow was correct

byuluvr

9/1/15 7:38pm

This could be caused by the way others are parked too.

BandW

9/1/15 7:56pm

You give a ticket, you don't tow over petty crap like that

Left Shark Coug

9/1/15 9:26pm

Depends on if the parking lot is full except for the spot by the bad parking job

byuluvr

9/1/15 9:29pm

Still don't agree. Give a ticket. That's not worth an immediate tow.

Left Shark Coug

9/1/15 9:35pm

The penalty does not match crime, that's the real issue. A $25 parking ticket

bYu95070

9/1/15 11:11pm

Exactly. Depriving a student of a month's wages over 6 inches is disproportional

Sandstone Cougar

9/1/15 11:59pm

Mayor Curtis is well aware of the predatory towing practices in Provo

RockyBalboa

9/1/15 7:54pm

Probably not high on their priority list.

Slackthat

Yeah, it's all lip service. If he really cared, it would have changed by now.

fredgarvin

9/1/15 8:58pm

Yup it's a decades old problem. Nothing new here. And they are scum.

9/1/15 10:13pm

It changed significantly last year.

Sherlock

9/2/15 2:12am

They have started offering financial incentives to owners to give pre consent to

cougarfann888

9/2/15 7:16am

yep so they are still able to tow the same way as the owners have given

crimedog

9/2/15 7:36am

who's going to want to be bothered for every tow?

conetah

In the city where I work they passed an ordinance that no fine for parking

I had torn my ACL and MCL and had a handicap permit displayed

Nickels Is Money Too

9/1/15 8:21pm

Crossing guards? Are they shaking down kids for their lunch money or something?

9/1/15 8:27pm

The orange folks that direct parking.

Nickels Is Money Too

9/1/15 8:59pm

Well... Since they are directing traffic and not helping kids cross the street

9/2/15 1:59am

Good thing most people don't think like you...

I think most people DO think like him; you're the lone ranger on this one

ColoSpgs

Thank you for enlightening me on the moral values your religion teaches

Ymer Dunker

Fair comment

ColoSpgs

I'm not in the business. Just think violence is not the answer.

Ymer Dunker

9/2/15 6:48am

^^^^former towing company employee.

UNLVcougar

9/1/15 10:51pm

Yeah, punching would be disproportionate. Just like a $400 fee for parking

Sandstone Cougar

You sir are 100% correct!

TouchdownCougars

9/1/15 10:30pm

Tow companies can be a pain, but sometimes there is another side

9/1/15 10:33pm

Maybe due to the fact that it involves a football player 4 days before

SportsCalc

9/2/15 12:22am

Where does it say it involves a football player?

digitalayon

9/2/15 12:45am

I feel the same way about cops handing out tickets for ticky-tack crap.

9/2/15 12:59am

Call the police. They usually understand and are helpful if there is wrongdoing.

cougdonaldg

9/2/15 1:20am

They get 40% commission on what you pay.

Sherlock

People who go into that line of work have something wrong with them.

Most people who are broke and just need a job get a different job than that.

Quite an expensive lesson on how to park. 6 inches over the line is ridiculous

He should be rewarded then

I think CB should Jimmer the tow truck companies
