Something like this happened at my work place. On random weekends the security cameras kept catching a guy acting like he ran a small parking lot. No money was exchanged which seems strange because the guy looked like he could use it. Turned out the towing company we had a contract with would offer this guy money to encourage people to park illegally so they could be towed.
UncLester - Interesting... How'd you find out? Set up a "sting," or did they just come clean when asked? BTW, I hope the towing company lost both their contract with your company, and possibly their license to tow.
I'm pretty sure my boss filed a police report or something like that so they knew something strange was going on. Eventually they caught him in the act. I assume he told the police everything and the towing company lost their towing/operator license. Although I'm pretty sure they just re-opened under a different company name. Really shady stuff if you ask me.
UncLester - See, that's the thing; for doing THAT kind of stuff, there has to be an ACTUAL penalty. I'll call it "disbarment," for lack of a better word at the moment.
I was wondering if the guy was an employee of the tow company. Several years ago in Boston people were arriving at a parking garage so they could take the T in for a concert. There was a very helpful person waiting there to explain that the garage was filled, but they could park in the restaurant across the street, and it was okay, and to ignore the "Customers Only," signs, because the restaurant had agreed to be helpful on this one occasion. So people parked there, went in, enjoyed the free concert, came back and their cars were missing. It turned out that the very helpful person was an employee of the tow company that had the contract for the restaurant lot. They made thousands that night, but they were fired the next day, and lost several other contracts as well, once the news broke.

They should have a living snake shoved up their ass.
Alex The Valex I had a similar conspiracy but instead of working for the towing company, I thought that in the past, he parked there before and got his car towed so he’s there to get revenge.
I live on a downtown street in Canada. It snows a lot, and parking is often limited. Residents pay the city for permits to park here, but parking bandits routinely park illegally, sometimes forcing us to park blocks away from our homes. These videos are like therapy for me.
@@darthkek1953 On one occasion, after spending an hour digging my car out of a particularly heavy overnight snowfall, I returned to find a parking bandit neatly tucked into the spot I worked so hard to clear. So I grabbed my shovel and buried his car in snow, right up to the roof. He had to dig himself out by hand like an animal foraging for grubs.
@@darthkek1953 Like one of the clowns on here, who got prosecuted AND didn't get a job, because his prospective employer saw him on these vids? Sound advice from you there!
I think I've seen those. I've also seen private parking lots with attendants directing people to park, "$5 parking signs," the works. I never trust them. "A crew of guys were here directing people to park here." Yeah, right.
This popped up on my recommended vids. And I was like “who the hell watches cars getting towed?” Apparently I do. Because I’m on my 4th video and can’t stop lol
The guy directing cars to park in your lot is the number one fan of your channel. He was disappointed by your recent lack of new videos so decided to take matters into his own hands. Knowing you can't post towing videos if you have no vehicles to tow, he decided to take action and get you some vehicles (new content). Don't feel too bad for the family, at least they achieved their 15 seconds of fame. Many never do. Thank you for a great channel!
11wertyh... It's a 24/7 business. Doesn't close. Access to the docks needs to be available at all times. Can't have people taking up spots who don't work there.
There could have been an event going on and its not uncommon for businesses to open their lots, even though there is a sign 9/10 people are going to follow instructions.
Lmao ... definitely a milleniall question ... then they will ask for a number to text with the towing company or an app to download to help them in this situation ... How fucking sad society has come to
The music just makes the tow truck appear more badass maybe something a bit more soft and gentle would allow that sting ... nah ... love the badass tow truck music.
If you watch this channel's videos, you'll see that it often takes the trucks over an hour to respond. Sometimes, people just get away with it because of how long the process takes, not because it isn't being enforced.
I have a neighbor who did it after a warning, where I live it’s extremely expensive to get your car back. One night I just gave up and called the tow truck. Once the car is loaded on where I live you cannot get it anymore. As soon as it was on and about to go she came running outside begging for us to take it down. People take advantage of kindness and don’t understand that private property is private property
I don't know where you live, but in California we ALWAYS assume that an area is being enforced. If you see a sign and ignore it, you're an idiot- period and deserve what happens to you. Either that or you're one of those people who thinks the rules don't apply to you, in which case you're a dickhead and you still deserve what happens to you.
I work in a hospital in an outpatient satellite lab. We have signs outside our door for a reason so that a patient will ring the bell so we know they are there cause we have no clue other wise. Only about 60% of new patients ring the bell. They'll just come on in and sit down. Most people don't read signs I wish I knew why, it's not like it's hard or something. Anyway this is the perfect example of why I read signs lol
I used to work at Disneyland and we would always joke about no matter how many signs we put up, no matter how big they are, people won't read them lol. Don't know why but so many people just don't read signs posted. Or anything really. People would walk up to me in front of my attraction, "what ride is this?" Well sir, it says right on my very bright shirt in very bold letters that you are looking at and there's a massive lighted sign above me that I saw you glance at as you walked up.
@@malachi5571 if we have a pt come in who is blind accommodations have already been in place to have a guide with them throughout their visit or they usually have a family member with them who is able to guide them or a nurse will walk them down to the lab from clinics and make sure they get signed in and let us know they are down there.
@@HannahCobana Its called crying wolf. If you as a business constantly put up signs and two many of them , society after awhile ignores them because we are bombarded with adds and useless info all day long. Even in doctors offices. ( Sign up now for your free wellness checkup and get your flu shot for only $19.99) You see adds walking in to businesses on the doors all over. Then when they write one thing different on a sheet of paper in addition to the 5 other things on the door that do not pertain to anything important they are like " Didn't you read the sign?" I run a business and I dont make my customers jump through any special hoops to give me money. I don't close down unexpectedly for a company Christmas party . Im here to make money. If im still here and just locking up and you want to give me money then I wil gladly stay open to take your money.
@@buildthings79 Well, that's a different situation. That's more misleading people to ignore important information (like the tiny fine print or the super fast disclaimer tricks). She was talking about how people seem to lack common sense. (Either that, or they just want confirmation, I guess)
Their fucking car just got towed. I'm pretty sure they just hang around and wonder what they're gonna do not because "tHeIr cArS gOnNa mAgIcAlLy ApPeAr"
Where I work we share 6 parking stalls with 3 other stores. The restaurant on the other side has 12. We have signs up in our 6 stalls that there is " NO" restaurant parking, cars will be towed. People just don't care. I got sick of running out all the time and asking people to move so now I just call the tow truck. Learn to read people!! I've even had people coming in 3 hours after their vehicle was towed and flipping out at me. Too bad!!!
@@christopherrohrback379 I believe what Lisa meant was that her place of employment has 6 spots for their customers to park. Not 6 places for the employees to park.
@@petergreening4810 I agree but you should've also pointed out that no one need to leave early to get to a parking spot that have a right to park in just because people dont read signs. We put up signs for a reason.
The part where that young family is so sad makes for a total learning experience for the parents and an excellent teaching one. Not too soon to make sure your kids respect other’s property.
@@stinkydoggy98 The children in 2018, kinda hilarious. You do realize what ut cost to have someone executed right. No of course you dont, you are an idiot.
@@stinkydoggy98 nope, I just wrote that you are an idiot, cause you are an idiot. And Im not gonna read your whole message, prob filled with the same crap as the one before
And guess who should have that on their conscience for the rest of their lives? The parents for their idiocy. Hopefully next time they will pay attention so they aren't disappointments to their kids.
Boy, ol' boy! I can't imagine the damages they did to those fwd cars. A buddy of mines got his car towed while parked at a business parking lot while inside talking to the manager. Even after the manager called and explained to them they're wrong for towing my friends car, they kept saying the owner for the building say to tow any cars after 7pm and they will not bring his car back and he'll have to pay $125 to get it back. After a bunch of back and forth, he just said he'll pay the $125 just to get it over with. He got to the tow yard, paid the fee and started to record as they were bringing his car out. From the video he shown me, as they hooked it up and started to pull it out the yard, they had it parked so close to a wall when they turned to come out, they side swiped the driver side of the rear bumper with the wall. after a lot of arguing he then notices his driver front wheel was not straight like the passenger side. His tie rod was broken and his cv axle boot was damaged leaking grease. They said they got it in like that. He ended calling the cops which they told him to take them to court, which he did. With evidence he had and a copy of the surveillance recording from the business, they was ordered to pay him over $4000 and lost the contract for that building and four others that was owned by the same guy.
I had a similar situation happen to me. I was parked in lot outside my work (we had a lot specifically for employees which is where I was parked) and one of my coworkers called to have my car towed. It was a brand new 2014 Charger with no damages on it. I had to pay $450 to get my car back even after my manager complained to the towing company. I got my car back with a flat tire, two dented rims, shattered headlight, missing side mirror, cracked front bumper, and a massive scratch on the side of my car. Plus my alignment and brakes were so screwed that I couldn’t even drive the car off the lot. Needless to say, I was livid and sued the towing company for the damages done to my car. I ended getting my car replaced with the same model for free by the company as their way of apologizing.
I feel bad for the family but there’s signs literally saying not to park. I would rather read the signs and look for another spot then listen to some random person.
Darlene Tarin you only feel bad because there’s kids. I wouldn’t feel anything. Parents took no diligence in the parking. Hopefully the kids learn to read better than the parents
We dont know what the guy said so we can't really blame them. He could have been super convincing and told them that he owned the lot and only tows on weekdays or something.
Yeah. I don't think having kids gives you a pass for not reading signs. I'm honestly not sorry for anyone but the kids and I hope they grow up to be more attentive and less self absorbed* than their parents. It takes a certain type of entitlement to think that you can park anywhere, even if there are signs. Don't think because some dude is directing traffic that you're totally cool.
If someone was inside the building watching this guy direct cars there they should've came out and said something instead of calling the tow company. These people might have been lead to believe that the guy directing them worked in the building which would explain why the guy paid him.
Death Shock Oh, they can read alright. The problem is that the entitled think that the signs are for other, less fortunate, less wonderful folks. Rules don’t apply to narcissists, according to them.
@@artistjoh not just that. people also live in their own little bubble, like flat earthers, and will happily not care what anyone thinks of their choices, and to prove them wrong, they'll get towed here for being stupid.
I love this! I don't think that I have ever seen so many people that are unable to comprehend a no parking sign in my life! Especially, when some bum tells you its fine to park in an area with multiple signs saying no parking! The way that this area appears with all the traffic and pedestrians I'm inclined to believe that there are places for off street parking that are a lot cheaper than the cost of a tow!
In a beach area, There is a dirt area where I house burned down a few years ago. The sign says no parking. So a bunch of scammers come up and open it and charge $15 a car to park on the lot that is not theirs. The people come back to the lot and it was empty. Police towed all illegally parked cars on that lot. That was July 4, 2018. A police officer said it was about 50 cars in the lot that were towed. So the parking lot scammers are everywhere. Make sure to read signs....The signs on fence said "No Trespassing"
S.L. - Check the video at 00:35 to about 00:38. You'll have to go full-screen. Mom READS at least TWO of the signs, and where they back up to has a stencil on the door: "LOADING DOCK NO PARKING ANY TIME." I'll feel bad for the kids, but the adults - not so much. By the time you're crankin' out spawn, you should be a little more aware of things.
Be really hilarious if the tow truck company (Under a dif. name) started a low fare shuttle bus that ran back and forth to the tow yard say every hour. HA. ;)
great idea. add a food truck so passengers can get food and drinks while they wait for the driver to get his/her car back. charge driver $25 for ride to impound lot, passengers will spend money waiting for ride driver cqan get coffee to go so they can sober up for drive back.
"That man looks dodgy, you sure he knows what he's doing" "WOAH, WOAH honey, I ain't bigoted, I'm sure that professional gentleman, with the roughed up clothing and hat he's wearing at night, knows exactly what he's doing, we shouldn't question him!"
@keith cunningham That's an awful lot of assumption there, considering you have no proof and are essentially talking out your ass. While it was obvious the guy directing the cars to park knew the vehicles were going to be towed, this tow company ALSO doesn't have to do something as shady as 'employ' some dude out there to scam people into parking in those spots. Enough stupid people park there without anyone else's help that there is absolutely no reason to try and run a scam-- that towing company already makes more than enough money off of the stupidity of the average American citizen. Off-hand I'd say that dude purely did it just to be a jackass. Sadly, too many people like that exist.
This is one of my favorite channels. The production values are first rate. But, if you’re looking for an exit strategy, consider installing a giant sign that spans the entire length of the building with three foot tall block letters stating YOU WILL BE TOWED.
That guy in the beginning definitely worked with the tow company lol I would never take advice where to park from a homeless guy that obviously doesn't own that lot
Jae KiDd this isn't that McDonald's scam. If you watch all of their videos you NEVER see that guy. If he was doing this to make money he'd be in every video. I watch this channel a lot and I've never seen him directing cars to park.
Not even. Crackheads do this shit all the time in big cities. They'll sit outside of a lot and point people in and tell them its $10 for parking since its "his lot".
I used to work at a library, and once after closing, someone put a milk crate under the real drop box. They put a sign saying "Please return all DVDs in this box." Then before we opened the next morning, he took back the box full of DVDs.
It's sad because people don't know it's a scam. Just following the sign. This happen to me once, some guy was charging 10$ for parking had a sign and rope off the entrance. I caught on quick because he had no vest, no cones, and no tickets I called the cops the guy booked. Always think to yourself would you trust a complete stranger just because they have a sign.
@Armando Sturzenegger Be careful... Amazon Prime shipping is free... don't be alarmed when you find that hidden $119 annual fee with the card you used to make your purchase. So far, Netflix, Hulu, Slingbox, and Fire Sticks maybe the cheapest alternatives... for now. But, most cable companies charge more for internet unless you bundle it with other services...
@Armando Sturzenegger But the poster didn't say when it happened. They might be talking about something that happened years ago when DVDs were used all the time.
@Armando Sturzenegger Not cheap enough. It's on average $12/mo for just 1 streaming service, & to get those you have to either pay $100/mo in cell phone service or $100/mo for wifi. & that's just for Netflix. Most ppl are sucked into Amazon Prime (which is NOT free, it's $12/mo, plus unlimited music and kindle are an extra $20) & at least 3 other streaming services. & many households also have cable, which is another $100/mo. & most ppl pay for phones, internet and cable. 4 mo after moving into our first home after college I sat my husband down & said we couldn't afford everything & needed to pick and choose. I got a basic smart phone that cut that bill to $50, we got rid of cable, negotiated our internet usage, & cut off every streaming service except 1. I managed to save $200/mo, but everything still costs an average of $175 (& that is just the basics). Just that is over $2000/year, & just to watch 1 (just ONE) streaming service, that's what you need to pay. So, borrowing DVDs is a much more sensible option in my opinion. Dunno about you, but I'd much rather borrow DVDs (FOR FREE) from a library & save 2k/yr by getting rid of internet and streaming altogether.
The scammer dude screwed up. He should have stated that it was monitored vallet service and keys needed to be left in the vehicles. I bet you, there would have been just as many takers LOL

Why would All Star Towing pay him to steal cars though? They make money by extorting towing victims that he persuaded to park illegally.
Wow! This one had it all! A scammer, the Count, a parade, and lots of vehicles towed! One of the best! I'd like to see a sting operation go down on the parking attendant! That would be da bomb!
Lots of them could also be trying to fight the tow and the ticket they're gonna receive for parking in a tow away zone without a permit. I've seen it all, some will go so far as saying "I'm legally blind I didn't see the sign" and the judge always says "yeah I bet you are." xD
You're absolutely right, the city does, and when your car is towed for violating a "no parking" sign you receive a parking ticket from the city even if they don't get to the car first. The city hands out those signs, tow people don't just put them anywhere they want so it's an actual violation of the law, the second your car is put into the system you get a nice little fine to go along with the towing fees. Are all cities like this? No clue but you were very much right, towing companies don't hand out parking tickets, thank you for telling me.
This happened to me in Thailand. Some guy was charging to park in a small lot for an event nearby. Came back at the end of it and the police had booted all the cars. Fortunately some guy had an angle grinder handy and sent us all on our way ;)
@@JohnConnor12 well it could just have been a good hearted fella who didnt see the sign cuz he saw what he tought was some1 for parking in that case i feel bad for him ya...
The guy probably saw the sign but the homeless man probably told him its okay to park. So the man probably thought the guy worked for the company paid him and got scammed.
$150! That's not a bad deal. I parked at a McDonald's once, went inside, ordered food, sat down and ate it, went out another door and proceeded to go to the courthouse across the street. When I was done at court, I came back to find out I was towed. I thought I was slick but instead learned a $240 lesson. Since then, I just cough up the five bucks for a lot or find a meter. This was in downtown LA.
I really should be going to bed, but I can't stop watching! It's like the potato chips - you can't watch just one lol. Love the tag-teaming...and there's plenty to go around lmao.
There's a local event going on and this guy is acting like a parking attendant. I've seen this in person before. Most of the time they have a deal with the lot owner and split the proceeds. This guy was just a crack head that came up.
@@jessclark9725 Seeing the number of families we see in the video, I have to wonder if there wasn't some event near-by that attracted a different crowd. Usually, the bad parkers look like they are heading to a club.
I have seen a few homeless and drug addicts scam money that way a few times.i was in Vegas and one was trying to scam me 5 for parking in a public I asked him if he had change for a hundred. Of course he said no I responded how do you not have change with all the cars here and pointed to the public parking sign
Mich David There was a RUclips video that I saw (can't remember most of the details) where a bloke worked in an office across the road from a small carpark with a ticket machine for buying a parking ticket. However, there had been, or maybe still is, a few people conning people out of money by selling people out of date parking tickets. Even going so far as to get people to park out in the street before selling the out of date parking. This bloke got fed up and on camera kept confronting these people whenever they were about to con money out of people, saving the innocent.
I completely get your point and I strongly dislike scammers. But how could you expect someone to have change for a hundred if he's asking you for 5 for parking? I mean the whole point of asking for 5 is because he doesn't have change, right? xD
The point is that if there are all those cars already parked there, the lot owner would already have a large amount of cash (and therefore able to give change for a hundred). If he can't give you change, the lot is either public or the person asking for a 5 isn't the actual owner because he can't give you change.
I'm a cop and when there's a football game people will use the lots on their property so fans can park. Obviously they charge them between 30-40 bucks. I come past those lots going into work. People wearing reflective vests and waving you in with orange flags. They wave their flags to every car to pull in. Well sometimes there are private lots and driveways that are NOT open for any parking. We had a call one day during a game, I wasn't dispatched to it. Guy says that some kids were standing outside a lot and told him it was $20 to park. He paid them. Then soon realized that the lot was not open for parking and the kids scammed him. Yeah, if you have adults in orange vests with orange flags charging 30-40 bucks then it's safe to say that 20 bucks from a buncha kids NOT wearing vests and waving flags is PROOOOOOBABLY not legit.
Good lesson but then all someone has to do to up their scamming game is procure some orange flags and orange vests, maybe even go the extra mile and spring for orange road cones. Of course, that does add a little bit of overhead to the scam. Unless they just swipe 'em from somewhere.
@@Dreamline78 kids in ghetto neighborhoods don't want to spend the money or time for that. They just want a quick buck as quick as possible with as little effort as possible.
Each "towee" has a unique story to tell, which is why I like choosing various pieces for the returns and the initial parking. I would LOVE to mix up the towing music, but it has apparently become an anthem.
I felt bad for the family, kids are grumpy as is that late in the night, on top of not being able to go home right away after a night out, grumpy, tired kids equal grumpy stressed out parents :( sad family
plus i can imagine the fee to get the car back was a lot for them. should've read the signs, but the company probably should've went out and talked to the guy directing cars too.
No parking means no parking... Sorry NOT sorry! If you're old enough to go out drinking, you're old enough to read!!! Way to go guys!!! I LOVE IT!!! 💚 💛 💜
For the sake of the folks getting scammed, you need a BIG sign that says "We do not use a parking attendant. If someone asks you for money to park here, CALL THE POLICE. It is a scam. Your car will be towed anyway."
Right? I'd rather walk 5 blocks than get my car towed, and if anyone else in the car wants to complain then they can get the bill for the tow and parking ticket xD
I've done that in San Francisco. Has giant ghetto purse for shoes. Wear sneakers to walk to the club and then switch out to heels. SF is quick to snatch a car.
There must be something wrong with me. I've spent the entire evening watching this channel. It's better than most of those Top 5, Top 10, etc. channels! Plus, you are very erudite and can spell. I appreciate that in a person.
I agree with Nicholas. Sure it's quick and easy, but realistically the way he's loading and shifting is the epitome of "I don't give a fuck" or he wasn't trained properly. I get private impounds need to be done quickly and discretely but for instance the Toyota that showed up late, he isn't even lifting by the front tires, that's all undercarriage, not to mention the constant dragging of tires, which could quite literally damage a transmission if one has juuuuust enough grip. Definitely not the driver's fault that he has to tow them, but definitely his fault for damages if any should occur during transport.
It could damage allot, and probably did, the whole weight of the car was sitting on the tow winch (however you call it) and probably pinched the exhaust pipes, also with it dragging on the ground i dont think it would damage the transmission but the suspension cause it will bend the wheel outwards, which it probably did cause there were definite skid marks from the passenger front tire. I really wouldnt doubt to see damages from that car after, such as bad alignment or a bent spring or leaky exhaust
I've been towing like that for over 10 years , still have my job no lawsuits and no damage, I'm very efficient, that's the key when you make commissions on pulling cars , I make about 70 bucks per impound, I pull about 30 plus cars a week...do the math , only on 8 hours or less a day ...live a great life here in Huntington beach California, thanks !!!
Im glad you know everything about a profession i really dont care about. also you can clearly see that the WHEEL LIFT isnt properly put in place, which means its resting on something it shouldnt. IE: the exhaust. In other words i would like to see you explain why it doesnt cause any of the damage. Stop being a fuckboy and trying to start shit on youtube comments, there was a simple way you could have corrected me and you chose to attack for no reason, youre nothing but a petty loser trying to act like a genius on the internet
150 bucks per car. BUT, if you don't pick them up within the first 12 hours it's another 25 to 50 dollars per car for storage fees. Then more each day. Even if you call and nobody answers the phone, and you have to wait another day to get your car, they charge you for it.
dano r A person has to rationalize that in their head somehow to do that to people over and over day after day. I couldnt do that to people day after day. Knowing how hard it is for people as it is.
Tow companies don't care, it's how they make their money. They hope the owner of the towed car doesn't have the money the next day. That way they can charge more money. Then the person learns they owe more for storage, and it takes them another day or so to come up with the money. For people living paycheck to paycheck. It can kill them financially,
That is why I just could not do that day after day to people. I think living knowing you are hurting families is something a person has to sort out in their heads. I just couldn't do it. It is funny to watch, but so sad in reality that it could break people.
The owner of the parking lot hired the tow company because they don't want people parking there. If those people don't want towed they shouldn't park there. There are signs that warn the drivers.
Awe man, anyone with three kids and driving that generation of dodge caravan doesn’t need any tickets. I feel for them. Lesson for next time, if he looks like a crackhead, he’s probably a crackhead and shouldn’t be listened to.
Anyone should get a ticket/towed for parking in a no parking zone. Regardless of how many children you have. Let that be a lesson for them when they're old enough to drive
What's having 3 kids got to do with it? Whose fault is it he's got 3? Some people just do not seem to understand how babies are made, or that contraception is easily available.
Some people don't want to have a $500 car note every month. Especially people who have multiple mouths to feed. I don't think this guy wants anyone feeling sorry for him. I wouldn't.
I live in the suburbs and have never paid for parking in my life. Not knowing much about the workings of urban areas, I'd just assume that guy was a legit parking attendant, either with the permission of the business or directly employed by them. There really should be "no parking attendant" signs as well.
...by the same token, there should be signs reading "no terrorists", "no small engine planes", "no 18 wheelers", "no policemen on duty", "no drug sales", "gun free zone", "no rioting"............
Kryten428 that's happened to me. I had my car stolen out of my driveway. Couldn't believe my eyes, so I went all the way back into my house and back out. Still gone. I was so stunned I actually looked up and down the road... like maybe it has taken a turn round the neighborhood and just didn't get back in time. Yeah it's odd.
Ok the both of us know that, but look at it through their eyes. They see someone who looks like they work for the lot owners, and think that maybe they have rented out the lot. I'd be disappointed in them had they parked there and saw the signs and still stayed, but maybe they thought that it was a day where the signs were excused. That's why these guys piss me off, they can confuse people that way and this family is down a fine and has to walk home with their kids in the middle of the night.
"that's what happens when you break laws" No laws were broken -- except possibly the homeless guy and the tow company that likely paid him. Very odd behavior to do randomly. Parking on private property is a civil issue, not a crime. Try again.
Something like this happened at my work place. On random weekends the security cameras kept catching a guy acting like he ran a small parking lot. No money was exchanged which seems strange because the guy looked like he could use it. Turned out the towing company we had a contract with would offer this guy money to encourage people to park illegally so they could be towed.
UncLester - Interesting... How'd you find out? Set up a "sting," or did they just come clean when asked? BTW, I hope the towing company lost both their contract with your company, and possibly their license to tow.

I assume he told the police everything and the towing company lost their towing/operator license. Although I'm pretty sure they just re-opened under a different company name.

I was wondering if the guy was an employee of the tow company. Several years ago in Boston people were arriving at a parking garage so they could take the T in for a concert. There was a very helpful person waiting there to explain that the garage was filled, but they could park in the restaurant across the street, and it was okay, and to ignore the "Customers Only," signs, because the restaurant had agreed to be helpful on this one occasion. So people parked there, went in, enjoyed the free concert, came back and their cars were missing. It turned out that the very helpful person was an employee of the tow company that had the contract for the restaurant lot. They made thousands that night, but they were fired the next day, and lost several other contracts as well, once the news broke.
They should have a living snake shoved up their ass.
That guy in the beginning telling people where to park just pisses me off.
Lester Estimos same here!
Bet it was an inside job, he works for the towing company. But not everything is a conspiracy so who knoes
Alex The Valex I had a similar conspiracy but instead of working for the towing company, I thought that in the past, he parked there before and got his car towed so he’s there to get revenge.
Lester Estimos he obviously works for the tow company that took all those cars away. I hope he got caught
He's definitely homeless.
I just realized I'm addicted to the soundtrack of towing
Same lol
Sweet sound of endorphins
I as well. Who knows what its called?
Lol
When that beat drops, you know someone is getting hit for $150
i love how "goth parade" is probably a bunch of servers from an upper scale restaurant
That's exactly what it is lol since when is wearing a black button up and black slacks goth??
well, it was kind of a look in the late 70s/early 80s, but things got much more extreme the further from punk things got
@@verisperrulaias2999 yeah but even they usually accessorized or modified their clothes or had weird hair
looks like you misspelled LOSERS
They look like the staff from a local place that hired loads of scooters and dropped them all in the parking area. Its shown on a different video.
I live on a downtown street in Canada. It snows a lot, and parking is often limited. Residents pay the city for permits to park here, but parking bandits routinely park illegally, sometimes forcing us to park blocks away from our homes.
These videos are like therapy for me.
You want therapy you drag your keys down the side of the cars.
@@darthkek1953 On one occasion, after spending an hour digging my car out of a particularly heavy overnight snowfall, I returned to find a parking bandit neatly tucked into the spot I worked so hard to clear. So I grabbed my shovel and buried his car in snow, right up to the roof. He had to dig himself out by hand like an animal foraging for grubs.
@@darthkek1953 Like one of the clowns on here, who got prosecuted AND didn't get a job, because his prospective employer saw him on these vids?

Should display new sign, "No parking lot attendant on duty."
If the signs are on a door, pretty soon will be too heavy to move!
I think I've seen those.
I've also seen private parking lots with attendants directing people to park, "$5 parking signs," the works. I never trust them. "A crew of guys were here directing people to park here." Yeah, right.
@@ChromeJob If they charge only $5, you should know it's a scam.
Great idea!!
OR drivers can read the signage already posted. Out patient mentality.
This popped up on my recommended vids.
And I was like “who the hell watches cars getting towed?”
Apparently I do. Because I’m on my 4th video and can’t stop lol
We're down the same rabbit hole😂💯
Same... lol
It's addictive.
Welcome to the club!
True
The guy directing cars to park in your lot is the number one fan of your channel. He was disappointed by your recent lack of new videos so decided to take matters into his own hands. Knowing you can't post towing videos if you have no vehicles to tow, he decided to take action and get you some vehicles (new content). Don't feel too bad for the family, at least they achieved their 15 seconds of fame. Many never do. Thank you for a great channel!
new tennants should have just let him have the footage for a cut of the youtube moniez.
ALEXA - What does "Active Loading Dock No Parking at any time. Violators will be Towed" mean?
11wertyh... It's a 24/7 business. Doesn't close. Access to the docks needs to be available at all times. Can't have people taking up spots who don't work there.
There could have been an event going on and its not uncommon for businesses to open their lots, even though there is a sign 9/10 people are going to follow instructions.
BeckerSauce N9ne hey beckersauce!! You've just made yourself the "go to guy". For everything.
Alexa: why are you asking me, dumbass, read the sign.
See? Even *she* gets it !!
Lmao ... definitely a milleniall question ... then they will ask for a number to text with the towing company or an app to download to help them in this situation ...
How fucking sad society has come to
When you hear the drumbeat, it's time for a tow.
IT's always like a ritual in my head. A Man Smashing giant drums, ordering the Tow trucks to swarm out and do their duty
Dougie Wood's The Hero Steps Up tune.... so good
I came just for the tow music
The music just makes the tow truck appear more badass maybe something a bit more soft and gentle would allow that sting ... nah ... love the badass tow truck music.
@@QuillonFrostbane military style drum beat. Makes it more menacing.
I loved how the music got all soft for the family of 3. Then right back into savage mode towing those cars 👍

Fuck-em all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor family for having a stupid father. Who parks on a run down back street like that with their kids???
Towing keeps going
I love how they all see the signs when they come back but never when they park.
The reverse skills of the towers are just amazing 😂🤣🤣🤣
NOE MARTINEZ lmao
I watch these vids just to see the tow trucks.
Tow truck drivers: driving skill 100+
This is where they get to practice. LOTS OF PRACTICE.
Yes they are!!
Lots of places put up signs, but hardly any of them ENFORCE the rules....that's why people think they can get away with it...
If you watch this channel's videos, you'll see that it often takes the trucks over an hour to respond. Sometimes, people just get away with it because of how long the process takes, not because it isn't being enforced.
Yeah, it's a bit of both but it's a damn risky game to play..
I have a neighbor who did it after a warning, where I live it’s extremely expensive to get your car back. One night I just gave up and called the tow truck. Once the car is loaded on where I live you cannot get it anymore. As soon as it was on and about to go she came running outside begging for us to take it down. People take advantage of kindness and don’t understand that private property is private property
I don't know where you live, but in California we ALWAYS assume that an area is being enforced. If you see a sign and ignore it, you're an idiot- period and deserve what happens to you. Either that or you're one of those people who thinks the rules don't apply to you, in which case you're a dickhead and you still deserve what happens to you.
they need to triple the money so people will triple check
I work in a hospital in an outpatient satellite lab. We have signs outside our door for a reason so that a patient will ring the bell so we know they are there cause we have no clue other wise. Only about 60% of new patients ring the bell. They'll just come on in and sit down. Most people don't read signs I wish I knew why, it's not like it's hard or something. Anyway this is the perfect example of why I read signs lol
I used to work at Disneyland and we would always joke about no matter how many signs we put up, no matter how big they are, people won't read them lol. Don't know why but so many people just don't read signs posted. Or anything really. People would walk up to me in front of my attraction, "what ride is this?" Well sir, it says right on my very bright shirt in very bold letters that you are looking at and there's a massive lighted sign above me that I saw you glance at as you walked up.
Unless the person is blind
@@malachi5571 if we have a pt come in who is blind accommodations have already been in place to have a guide with them throughout their visit or they usually have a family member with them who is able to guide them or a nurse will walk them down to the lab from clinics and make sure they get signed in and let us know they are down there.
@@HannahCobana Its called crying wolf. If you as a business constantly put up signs and two many of them , society after awhile ignores them because we are bombarded with adds and useless info all day long. Even in doctors offices. ( Sign up now for your free wellness checkup and get your flu shot for only $19.99)
You see adds walking in to businesses on the doors all over. Then when they write one thing different on a sheet of paper in addition to the 5 other things on the door that do not pertain to anything important they are like " Didn't you read the sign?"
I run a business and I dont make my customers jump through any special hoops to give me money. I don't close down unexpectedly for a company Christmas party . Im here to make money. If im still here and just locking up and you want to give me money then I wil gladly stay open to take your money.
@@buildthings79 Well, that's a different situation. That's more misleading people to ignore important information (like the tiny fine print or the super fast disclaimer tricks).
She was talking about how people seem to lack common sense. (Either that, or they just want confirmation, I guess)
04:40 dude's telling the person on the phone where his car was by pointing at where it used to be. Love it!
He's more likely pointing at the sign and communicating with the individual next to him, while on the phone.

@@petergreening4810 I agree but you should've also pointed out that no one need to leave early to get to a parking spot that have a right to park in just because people dont read signs. We put up signs for a reason.

the bigger the sign the less people read and even less do they understand just that simple !
but if they do that then we don't have this amazing videos :(
The part where that young family is so sad makes for a total learning experience for the parents and an excellent teaching one. Not too soon to make sure your kids respect other’s property.

It's real simple a "no parking" sign literally means dont park here.
"Yeah the crackhead looks trustworthy"
Boy, ol' boy! I can't imagine the damages they did to those fwd cars. A buddy of mines got his car towed while parked at a business parking lot while inside talking to the manager. Even after the manager called and explained to them they're wrong for towing my friends car, they kept saying the owner for the building say to tow any cars after 7pm and they will not bring his car back and he'll have to pay $125 to get it back. After a bunch of back and forth, he just said he'll pay the $125 just to get it over with. He got to the tow yard, paid the fee and started to record as they were bringing his car out. From the video he shown me, as they hooked it up and started to pull it out the yard, they had it parked so close to a wall when they turned to come out, they side swiped the driver side of the rear bumper with the wall. after a lot of arguing he then notices his driver front wheel was not straight like the passenger side. His tie rod was broken and his cv axle boot was damaged leaking grease. They said they got it in like that. He ended calling the cops which they told him to take them to court, which he did. With evidence he had and a copy of the surveillance recording from the business, they was ordered to pay him over $4000 and lost the contract for that building and four others that was owned by the same guy.
I had a similar situation happen to me. I was parked in lot outside my work (we had a lot specifically for employees which is where I was parked) and one of my coworkers called to have my car towed. It was a brand new 2014 Charger with no damages on it. I had to pay $450 to get my car back even after my manager complained to the towing company. I got my car back with a flat tire, two dented rims, shattered headlight, missing side mirror, cracked front bumper, and a massive scratch on the side of my car. Plus my alignment and brakes were so screwed that I couldn’t even drive the car off the lot. Needless to say, I was livid and sued the towing company for the damages done to my car. I ended getting my car replaced with the same model for free by the company as their way of apologizing.
Ttrucker what do you mean?
@Blue Thumb He didn't read like the ones in the video.
damages to the cars here and there. Who gives a fuck! Would the cars be damaged if they did not park there?
Don't park on private property it's really simple
The design of those tow trucks is genius!... No fuss; no muss...
When they use the tow arms to pick up the whole car by the floor it can cause extensive damage.
@@gotham61 I don't get how do they tow front and back, almost like the cars are in neutral?
They're repo guys. Gotta be quick so u don't get shot!
@@gotham61 should have read the signs and then there would be no damage
I feel bad for the family but there’s signs literally saying not to park. I would rather read the signs and look for another spot then listen to some random person.
Darlene Tarin you only feel bad because there’s kids. I wouldn’t feel anything. Parents took no diligence in the parking. Hopefully the kids learn to read better than the parents
We dont know what the guy said so we can't really blame them. He could have been super convincing and told them that he owned the lot and only tows on weekdays or something.
@@JainaKeria you're the reason bucket manufacturers place the stupid baby in the bucket signs
Yeah. I don't think having kids gives you a pass for not reading signs. I'm honestly not sorry for anyone but the kids and I hope they grow up to be more attentive and less self absorbed* than their parents.
It takes a certain type of entitlement to think that you can park anywhere, even if there are signs. Don't think because some dude is directing traffic that you're totally cool.
If someone was inside the building watching this guy direct cars there they should've came out and said something instead of calling the tow company. These people might have been lead to believe that the guy directing them worked in the building which would explain why the guy paid him.
2:13 omg i haven't heard that commercial in YEARS! That got a good laugh out of me, especially when the Honda started to wiggle wabble lmao
All these geniuses can form a support group for not knowing how to read signs

Haha I agree!
Daddy CAUSED the "sucks" that you mention...
Doesnt matter how many videos you make of this, it NEVER gets boring.
I love this! I don't think that I have ever seen so many people that are unable to comprehend a no parking sign in my life! Especially, when some bum tells you its fine to park in an area with multiple signs saying no parking! The way that this area appears with all the traffic and pedestrians I'm inclined to believe that there are places for off street parking that are a lot cheaper than the cost of a tow!
In a beach area, There is a dirt area where I house burned down a few years ago. The sign says no parking. So a bunch of scammers come up and open it and charge $15 a car to park on the lot that is not theirs. The people come back to the lot and it was empty. Police towed all illegally parked cars on that lot. That was July 4, 2018. A police officer said it was about 50 cars in the lot that were towed. So the parking lot scammers are everywhere. Make sure to read signs....The signs on fence said "No Trespassing"
'Your cars will be towed in the order they were received ' HA HA HA TOO FUNNY.
Felt bad for family too.
S.L. - Check the video at 00:35 to about 00:38. You'll have to go full-screen. Mom READS at least TWO of the signs, and where they back up to has a stencil on the door: "LOADING DOCK NO PARKING ANY TIME." I'll feel bad for the kids, but the adults - not so much. By the time you're crankin' out spawn, you should be a little more aware of things.

That was a nice touch. The captions are hilarious sometimes. 😄
LMFAO @ 4:05 "but the towing keeps going!" after the sad family.
Love the interaction between both towtrucks at once, very smooth.
Be really hilarious if the tow truck company (Under a dif. name) started a low fare shuttle bus that ran back and forth to the tow yard say every hour. HA. ;)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's an awesome idea
That’s friggn genius 😂😂
And the guy in the beginning who tells people where to park probably works for them already. What a lucrative biznezzz 💰💲💰
great idea. add a food truck so passengers can get food and drinks while they wait for the driver to get his/her car back. charge driver $25 for ride to impound lot, passengers will spend money waiting for ride driver cqan get coffee to go so they can sober up for drive back.

And he gets paid by the tow company to suck people into parking there.
@keith cunningham That's an awful lot of assumption there, considering you have no proof and are essentially talking out your ass. While it was obvious the guy directing the cars to park knew the vehicles were going to be towed, this tow company ALSO doesn't have to do something as shady as 'employ' some dude out there to scam people into parking in those spots. Enough stupid people park there without anyone else's help that there is absolutely no reason to try and run a scam-- that towing company already makes more than enough money off of the stupidity of the average American citizen.
Off-hand I'd say that dude purely did it just to be a jackass. Sadly, too many people like that exist.
This is one of my favorite channels. The production values are first rate. But, if you’re looking for an exit strategy, consider installing a giant sign that spans the entire length of the building with three foot tall block letters stating YOU WILL BE TOWED.

Not even. Crackheads do this shit all the time in big cities. They'll sit outside of a lot and point people in and tell them its $10 for parking since its "his lot".
many times we don't listen to our parents, but a stranger on the street...serve you right....love this team work...lol
Lol the goth parade was a group of employees getting off work
I tend to look like that after work. Welcome to the working class.
Catering staff parade
I used to work at a library, and once after closing, someone put a milk crate under the real drop box. They put a sign saying "Please return all DVDs in this box." Then before we opened the next morning, he took back the box full of DVDs.
It's sad because people don't know it's a scam. Just following the sign. This happen to me once, some guy was charging 10$ for parking had a sign and rope off the entrance. I caught on quick because he had no vest, no cones, and no tickets I called the cops the guy booked. Always think to yourself would you trust a complete stranger just because they have a sign.

Be careful... Amazon Prime shipping is free... don't be alarmed when you find that hidden $119 annual fee with the card you used to make your purchase. So far, Netflix, Hulu, Slingbox, and Fire Sticks maybe the cheapest alternatives... for now. But, most cable companies charge more for internet unless you bundle it with other services...
@Armando Sturzenegger But the poster didn't say when it happened. They might be talking about something that happened years ago when DVDs were used all the time.
@Armando Sturzenegger
Not cheap enough. It's on average $12/mo for just 1 streaming service, & to get those you have to either pay $100/mo in cell phone service or $100/mo for wifi. & that's just for Netflix. Most ppl are sucked into Amazon Prime (which is NOT free, it's $12/mo, plus unlimited music and kindle are an extra $20) & at least 3 other streaming services. & many households also have cable, which is another $100/mo. & most ppl pay for phones, internet and cable.
4 mo after moving into our first home after college I sat my husband down & said we couldn't afford everything & needed to pick and choose. I got a basic smart phone that cut that bill to $50, we got rid of cable, negotiated our internet usage, & cut off every streaming service except 1. I managed to save $200/mo, but everything still costs an average of $175 (& that is just the basics). Just that is over $2000/year, & just to watch 1 (just ONE) streaming service, that's what you need to pay.
So, borrowing DVDs is a much more sensible option in my opinion. Dunno about you, but I'd much rather borrow DVDs (FOR FREE) from a library & save 2k/yr by getting rid of internet and streaming altogether.

Dumbass parents, smartass kids; they all get the same towing treatment.
Why do so many people take pictures of the signs?
Cause there's a phone number there for information
Lots of them could also be trying to fight the tow and the ticket they're gonna receive for parking in a tow away zone without a permit. I've seen it all, some will go so far as saying "I'm legally blind I didn't see the sign" and the judge always says "yeah I bet you are." xD
Feckless Records tow company’s don’t issue tickets
You're absolutely right, the city does, and when your car is towed for violating a "no parking" sign you receive a parking ticket from the city even if they don't get to the car first. The city hands out those signs, tow people don't just put them anywhere they want so it's an actual violation of the law, the second your car is put into the system you get a nice little fine to go along with the towing fees. Are all cities like this? No clue but you were very much right, towing companies don't hand out parking tickets, thank you for telling me.
Feckless Records cops issue tickets not towing companies
So no u don’t get a ticket
This happened to me in Thailand. Some guy was charging to park in a small lot for an event nearby. Came back at the end of it and the police had booted all the cars.

When I was done at court, I came back to find out I was towed. I thought I was slick but instead learned a $240 lesson. Since then, I just cough up the five bucks for a lot or find a meter. This was in downtown LA.
I don't think you'd have that happen at a McDonald's where I'm from unless the car was left overnight
Man, tow trucks drivers are ruthless. Skidding tires, jammed gears. Yeesh.
I really should be going to bed, but I can't stop watching! It's like the potato chips - you can't watch just one lol.
Love the tag-teaming...and there's plenty to go around lmao.
3:17 teaching kids that failure to follow the rules has consequences.
There's a local event going on and this guy is acting like a parking attendant. I've seen this in person before. Most of the time they have a deal with the lot owner and split the proceeds. This guy was just a crack head that came up.
Yup, that happens all the time in downtown Greensboro...Baseball games mostly.
That's why you don't trust noone without a light green vest on
Nope, towing company pays him. That's the only way he profits from it.
GOTH PARADE 😂🤣👍👍
I have a feeling they were all servers who had just gotten off work, and they were all in work uniform. Still made me laugh out loud though
I was thinking servers too, or backstage crew for a playhouse or venue.
@@jessclark9725 Seeing the number of families we see in the video, I have to wonder if there wasn't some event near-by that attracted a different crowd. Usually, the bad parkers look like they are heading to a club.
I love this site. I've been watching here in the UK for the past 3 years. Hope you manage to get some more out soon.
The other day I saw a tow truck hooking up an abandoned car on my street. Without thinking, I started humming the tow music from these videos.
I'm curious. What business is around the corner that doesn't have enough of their own parking? Restaurant? Nightclub? Dispensary?
Probably a down town area new venues bars restaurants maybe even a sporting stadium its in Texas
Looks like a dance club based on how the people are dressed.
There are several bars/clubs in this area
Looks like probably a bar or club,
Some people are dressed trashy
Have you ever been downtown
I have seen a few homeless and drug addicts scam money that way a few times.i was in Vegas and one was trying to scam me 5 for parking in a public I asked him if he had change for a hundred. Of course he said no I responded how do you not have change with all the cars here and pointed to the public parking sign
Mich David There was a RUclips video that I saw (can't remember most of the details) where a bloke worked in an office across the road from a small carpark with a ticket machine for buying a parking ticket. However, there had been, or maybe still is, a few people conning people out of money by selling people out of date parking tickets. Even going so far as to get people to park out in the street before selling the out of date parking.
This bloke got fed up and on camera kept confronting these people whenever they were about to con money out of people, saving the innocent.
You gotta be careful in Vegas
It's common in all urban areas. Homeless people do this to make a few dollars. There will always be someone too ignorant to know better.
I completely get your point and I strongly dislike scammers.
But how could you expect someone to have change for a hundred if he's asking you for 5 for parking?
I mean the whole point of asking for 5 is because he doesn't have change, right? xD
The point is that if there are all those cars already parked there, the lot owner would already have a large amount of cash (and therefore able to give change for a hundred). If he can't give you change, the lot is either public or the person asking for a 5 isn't the actual owner because he can't give you change.
These videos bring a smile to my face.
"Oh the guy outside is frightful, but the towing is so delightful..."
I'm a cop and when there's a football game people will use the lots on their property so fans can park. Obviously they charge them between 30-40 bucks.
I come past those lots going into work. People wearing reflective vests and waving you in with orange flags. They wave their flags to every car to pull in.
Well sometimes there are private lots and driveways that are NOT open for any parking. We had a call one day during a game, I wasn't dispatched to it. Guy says that some kids were standing outside a lot and told him it was $20 to park. He paid them. Then soon realized that the lot was not open for parking and the kids scammed him.
Yeah, if you have adults in orange vests with orange flags charging 30-40 bucks then it's safe to say that 20 bucks from a buncha kids NOT wearing vests and waving flags is PROOOOOOBABLY not legit.
Good lesson but then all someone has to do to up their scamming game is procure some orange flags and orange vests, maybe even go the extra mile and spring for orange road cones. Of course, that does add a little bit of overhead to the scam. Unless they just swipe 'em from somewhere.
That happens everywhere ...
@@Dreamline78 kids in ghetto neighborhoods don't want to spend the money or time for that. They just want a quick buck as quick as possible with as little effort as possible.
Love the "now" iconic Tow Truck Theme, reminds me of the "Jaws" shark looming BaaDum. Now all you need is a theme for the return of the "Towees" .
Each "towee" has a unique story to tell, which is why I like choosing various pieces for the returns and the initial parking. I would LOVE to mix up the towing music, but it has apparently become an anthem.
Whatever you decide will be great, just ease us into it. Maybe change the CT truck music first. I'm "hooked" on the show now.
Does the "Jaws" shark need another theme?? Does Darth Vader's entrance need a different one? Neither does our Tow Truck Hero. :)
gtoger Benny Hill???
They need to put up a sign "If You are Going to Park Here, FWD Cars Back in RWD Pull Face In" it makes it easier for the tow truck drivers.
I felt bad for the family, kids are grumpy as is that late in the night, on top of not being able to go home right away after a night out, grumpy, tired kids equal grumpy stressed out parents :( sad family
Uhhh. Read the signs...totally their fault for being ignorant....
We all know this guy got off on their misery.
agreed. parents should be able to read the sign and give example for the kids
r/childfree
plus i can imagine the fee to get the car back was a lot for them. should've read the signs, but the company probably should've went out and talked to the guy directing cars too.
Love the teamwork of the two tow drivers!!
No parking means no parking... Sorry NOT sorry! If you're old enough to go out drinking, you're old enough to read!!! Way to go guys!!! I LOVE IT!!! 💚 💛 💜
For the sake of the folks getting scammed, you need a BIG sign that says "We do not use a parking attendant. If someone asks you for money to park here, CALL THE POLICE. It is a scam. Your car will be towed anyway."
I dunno about that. It's not like they'd read it anyway
This is the very reason why I read the signs before I park. If I think there is a hint I'll be towed I moved.
Niya - Sometimes it sucks to be the responsible one... Always wind up being the designated driver...
Ikr? Not so difficult a concept is it?
Right? I'd rather walk 5 blocks than get my car towed, and if anyone else in the car wants to complain then they can get the bill for the tow and parking ticket xD
I've done that in San Francisco. Has giant ghetto purse for shoes. Wear sneakers to walk to the club and then switch out to heels. SF is quick to snatch a car.
These ppl are human just like you which means "mistakes" are a part of this life. Its so easy to judge and remove yourself from human error.
Apparently these people suddenly become literate once they become carless.
I love how people sometimes go up to the tow trucks asking..what?
"Dude, where's my car?"
Maybe now would be a good time to learn to read the sign.
There must be something wrong with me. I've spent the entire evening watching this channel. It's better than most of those Top 5, Top 10, etc. channels! Plus, you are very erudite and can spell. I appreciate that in a person.
@GTOger - new to channel, just found it 30 mins ago, now binge-watching! 🤣 Love the editing! 👏👏
New subscriber in Canada! 🇨🇦
The guy didn't even have on a florescent vest or anything. He could have had them park their cars then broken into them.
Mary Carricaburu even if they had the vest on, shouldn't trust shit.
You are so right about that.
Dang, ive been robbing people wrong. Imma try this next.
@@chacemiller3659 make sure to get a name badge as well
I must be a terrible person because these make me so happy! Good job guys. Keep them rollin.
Then I'm terrible too lol
Oooh man up big boy. The couple with the kids should use this as a teaching moment. Never too little to learn to not be stupid.
That tow driver should be making at least 100k a year if he's on commission

Damaging cars until he gets sued..
I agree with Nicholas. Sure it's quick and easy, but realistically the way he's loading and shifting is the epitome of "I don't give a fuck" or he wasn't trained properly. I get private impounds need to be done quickly and discretely but for instance the Toyota that showed up late, he isn't even lifting by the front tires, that's all undercarriage, not to mention the constant dragging of tires, which could quite literally damage a transmission if one has juuuuust enough grip. Definitely not the driver's fault that he has to tow them, but definitely his fault for damages if any should occur during transport.
It could damage allot, and probably did, the whole weight of the car was sitting on the tow winch (however you call it) and probably pinched the exhaust pipes, also with it dragging on the ground i dont think it would damage the transmission but the suspension cause it will bend the wheel outwards, which it probably did cause there were definite skid marks from the passenger front tire. I really wouldnt doubt to see damages from that car after, such as bad alignment or a bent spring or leaky exhaust
I've been towing like that for over 10 years , still have my job no lawsuits and no damage, I'm very efficient, that's the key when you make commissions on pulling cars , I make about 70 bucks per impound, I pull about 30 plus cars a week...do the math , only on 8 hours or less a day ...live a great life here in Huntington beach California, thanks !!!
Im glad you know everything about a profession i really dont care about. also you can clearly see that the WHEEL LIFT isnt properly put in place, which means its resting on something it shouldnt. IE: the exhaust. In other words i would like to see you explain why it doesnt cause any of the damage. Stop being a fuckboy and trying to start shit on youtube comments, there was a simple way you could have corrected me and you chose to attack for no reason, youre nothing but a petty loser trying to act like a genius on the internet
That tow company is just raking in the bucks!! Wow!! At $150 per car! Yikes!!
150 bucks per car. BUT, if you don't pick them up within the first 12 hours it's another 25 to 50 dollars per car for storage fees. Then more each day. Even if you call and nobody answers the phone, and you have to wait another day to get your car, they charge you for it.
dano r A person has to rationalize that in their head somehow to do that to people over and over day after day. I couldnt do that to people day after day. Knowing how hard it is for people as it is.
Tow companies don't care, it's how they make their money. They hope the owner of the towed car doesn't have the money the next day. That way they can charge more money. Then the person learns they owe more for storage, and it takes them another day or so to come up with the money. For people living paycheck to paycheck. It can kill them financially,
That is why I just could not do that day after day to people. I think living knowing you are hurting families is something a person has to sort out in their heads. I just couldn't do it. It is funny to watch, but so sad in reality that it could break people.
The owner of the parking lot hired the tow company because they don't want people parking there. If those people don't want towed they shouldn't park there. There are signs that warn the drivers.
Awe man, anyone with three kids and driving that generation of dodge caravan doesn’t need any tickets. I feel for them. Lesson for next time, if he looks like a crackhead, he’s probably a crackhead and shouldn’t be listened to.
Anyone should get a ticket/towed for parking in a no parking zone. Regardless of how many children you have. Let that be a lesson for them when they're old enough to drive
What's having 3 kids got to do with it? Whose fault is it he's got 3? Some people just do not seem to understand how babies are made, or that contraception is easily available.
@@Challenger2A7 but but contraception is the tool of the devil, we cant have that in the usa ... /s
Some people don't want to have a $500 car note every month. Especially people who have multiple mouths to feed. I don't think this guy wants anyone feeling sorry for him. I wouldn't.
oohhh the nasty whoreish comments below.
Right off, there needs to be a stupid tax added to the tow charge. Who lets a homeless guy tell you were to park.
I live in the suburbs and have never paid for parking in my life. Not knowing much about the workings of urban areas, I'd just assume that guy was a legit parking attendant, either with the permission of the business or directly employed by them. There really should be "no parking attendant" signs as well.
...by the same token, there should be signs reading "no terrorists", "no small engine planes", "no 18 wheelers", "no policemen on duty", "no drug sales", "gun free zone", "no rioting"............
I think all the No Parking 24/7 signs are sufficient.
It's like having a sign that says "no smoking" plus another saying "no smoking drugs"
"Maybe if I walk around the block my car will be where I left it when I come back. Nope, still gone".
Kryten428 that's happened to me. I had my car stolen out of my driveway. Couldn't believe my eyes, so I went all the way back into my house and back out. Still gone.
I was so stunned I actually looked up and down the road... like maybe it has taken a turn round the neighborhood and just didn't get back in time. Yeah it's odd.
It's more like a "did i really park here or am i stupid?"
ok my heart broke for the family the bastard took advantage of :(
Ok the both of us know that, but look at it through their eyes. They see someone who looks like they work for the lot owners, and think that maybe they have rented out the lot. I'd be disappointed in them had they parked there and saw the signs and still stayed, but maybe they thought that it was a day where the signs were excused. That's why these guys piss me off, they can confuse people that way and this family is down a fine and has to walk home with their kids in the middle of the night.
Mom should be reading not staying in the kitchen.
"that's what happens when you break laws"
No laws were broken -- except possibly the homeless guy and the tow company that likely paid him. Very odd behavior to do randomly.
Parking on private property is a civil issue, not a crime. Try again.
These people learned a valuable lesson for only the cost of cab fare and $150 to get their car back.
It’s like the can suddenly read the signs after returning and finding their car towed. 😆 😆 😂
