Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Towed Away

Towed from my apartment complex?

Late last evening I arrived home to find that someone had parked in my assigned parking spot, so I parked in an uncovered (general parking) spot.

I awoke to find that my car was gone. I found out that security had it towed and that it would cost me 250.00 to get it back. At this point I asked security to tow the car in my spot, they came out and said that they could not tow this car because it had an AVALON placard in the window. They issued this car a Security citation and I am out 180.00 the actual amount it cost after waiting from 4:30 till 8:20 to get my car out of impound. I want to make someone PAY! Lawyers or legal minded people please assist. I lost a day of work and had to pay someone to take me to the tow lot.

Is this crazy or what?

You only option is to sue the security people that had your car towed in small claims court. But, I can't assure you you'll win. In the future, leaving a note on the windshield might avoid the problem.
