I lost it laughing when you kept calling it "hashtags" 🤣🤣 I knew what you meant...but I could tell you were tired and frustrated...and it was damn funny!
I’m laughing as none of these people understand to contact the property manager and they’re going after you guys. Why are you told my car? Why this why that and you keep telling him you need to talk to the property manager we don’t know how how do I do contact them? It’s like come on people don’t they know what life is about how many times did you say need to contact the property manager?
It seems like she would have numbered spots for the specific apartments and assigned visitors parking. Just saying I have been in apartments with that system
Definitely something like this ! 🤦🤦🤦🤦 And do not believe for a second they called the police to complain/inquire about parking at this location. That was a CYA statement trying to sound like he's legit when he's 1000% not.
Most likely that's what it is. And I bet the reason why the other residents don't have any spaces to park in is because there's 9 dudes with 9 cars in one apartment.
Exactly! I thought that, the last time he towed a vehicle from there. He asked one of the group of young men if he lived there, since he was parked in a parking spot, and he said he was "visiting"! They complain about the lack of parking, but they are the ones illegally taking resident spaces! Then they moan about the cost of towing, and ask for a break!
Interesting you say that alot of businesses just post signs just so they reserve the right to tow. I'm a truck driver and parking at truck stops and rest areas fill up by 5pm whenever your later than that you have to park in random lots and you typically won't get towed or booted unless your there for an excessive amount of time and leave your truck unattended
@@flat4314in Australia we don’t need 3/4 of the signs America uses. Here its common sense that you don’t jump a fence and trespass on people’s land. All businesses have a right to tow your vehicle at their discretion. Etc……
@@flat4314 Some places are good, some not so good. I worked security at a huge distribution center. Our dedicated drivers that hauled to the stores would often park their tractors there in the back of the lot, sometimes even staying in the tractor like they're camping. Drivers used to tell me that some lots let you do that, some don't. At the time, we had the space so it wasn't a big deal. But once they expanded the warehouse again, which increased the traffic, they had to tighten down on the practice of letting the drivers stay in the back of the lot. On another note, our Walmart is tough on parking, but the one down in Ardmore is really slack about it. They even let me leave my minivan for a couple of days when it threw a rod, until I could get it towed home. You just have to know which places will let you do things, which ones won't. You're right, some will tow you in a heartbeat.
i knew a guy that when he got paid, he would take all his money out at the ATM and sit it on the center console of his 4x4, not in the center console, just sitting in the little tray in front of the cup holders. he would loose so much money from it just blowing out when he opened the door, he would bitch and complain about it every time, yet he refused to do anything about it. he also never locked his car, I don't know how nobody stole any of the money, people in the same area have windows broken for pocket change and here he is with over sometimes multiple thousand just sitting out for the world to see, it would sit there until he spent it or it blew out the window.

I'm on NextDoor and there is this luxury gated apartment complex that got shoehorned into my neighborhood that has lots of section 8 apartments and low income houses and people post on there weekly about their cars getting "broken into" and how they don't understand how they're getting in through the fence. They leave guns, laptops, wallets, etc out in plain view and don't lock their doors and then are shocked when they get robbed. That's why I put broken into in quotations cause they didn't break in when they left the doors unlocked, they were just robbed. They stick out like sore thumbs because they have $50-100k new luxury vehicles driving through the neighborhood so all the poor people not below stealing see that and see dollar signs.
What's happened is that this apartment complex now has the reputation of being a "flop house" property where 4 or more are moving into one apartment, but only 1 is on the lease. The property manager is going to have to get tough and start doing evictions in addition to towing. You all have amazing skills to maneuver between all of those cars and tight spaces! Well done, sir!
I was just thinking the same thing - she is going to have to start taking legal action to enforce the terms of the lease and occupancy limits, and doing evictions - or this game of parking whack-a-mole is never going to end.
Yeah, I think this property manager thinks she can just tow her problems away. She thinks the non residents will just leave if they get towed. What actually tends to happen is the good tenants end up leaving because they have no parking spot. This manager seems a bit too passive to be managing these apartments. Everything Autos is doing their job but she also has a job to do which is making sure that the tenants on the leases are the only ones living there.
They pay $1,600 a month but then sublease so 10 guy's pay $160 each. They sign the rental contract for 2 people and get 2 parking passes but there's 5 or 6 more vehicles trying to park at " their " complex.
This is exactly what is happening at my complex, which is a senior housing complex. The extra vehicles park wherever they want, blocking driveways and visitor only spaces.
It was confusing and if I was called that late at night for someone to talk out both sides of their mouth at me I'd be just as bewildered as Jeff was. He was mad he couldn't park his car when he came home from work, but also mad his buddy/roommate/guy he's charging $100 a week to sleep on his couch was towed when he wasn't "blocking a spot." I half expected him to ask why they didn't bring his buddy's car with them to drop off when they came back to tow someone else.
When people can't control a situation, the next best thing they can do to release their frustration is to spread their misfortune. Classic move. A kid gets in trouble for eating ice cream so they tell on their brother for eating ice cream lol
I find it interesting that everyone thinks Jeff and Kristen are such saints, yet they'll never openly disclose what they charge for getting your car back if it's been towed due to illegal parking, hmmmm? I believe from all I've Sussed out it's 400 or 450, could be higher, not saying they aren't nice folks but they certainly don't want their "fans" to know how exorbitant their rates are, hey it's a free market economy so you do you but they're dodging on this and everyone seems to ignore that fact, gloss right over it😂😂😂😂😂
@bethewalt7385 anyone who has been watching our channel for even a few months knows what the fees are, and they are not close to $400 or $450. It’s a little odd that you’re so worked up over a hypothetical.
@@bethewalt7385 the payment for parking where you’re supposed to park is zero dollars to Jeff and Kristen. Park where you’re supposed to park! What a concept!
I very lived in 22 different 3rd world countries. You are seeing part of WHY they are 3rd world. Rule of Law is not high on the priority list. You go in houses and see electric wire and outlets STAPLED to the drywall. Not even electric tape at connections. These countries do have construction laws and codes, but they're ignored or bribed away. It's why Haiti collapses every 3.0 earthquake.
When they plan an apartment complex, they allow for X amount of spaces per unit. When you have 8 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment, 6 of whom aren't on the lease, they take up the spaces for legitimate tennants.
It's amazing how people leave all their important cards and wallets in a car. Not too smart. She needs to clean house and get ride of half the people not on the lease.
That lady with the kids was so upset, but there was no reason for her to not have a sticker or be on the do not tow list if she just did the adult thing and communicated with the landlord. My husband and I have just the 1 car and pay for street parking (my city tickets anything on the street between 3am and 5am that didn't pay resident or visitor fees through the city website) but when it's a bad snow or when I had my c-section we got permission to park around close to our door, blocking the landscaping garage. It's not a parking space, but we had it in writing and I printed the email out to keep on the dash from the landlord. So if you are polite and ask permission rather than forgiveness these things can work out.
I will never understand why people leave so much important stuff in their car overnight. If your car is stolen it's bad enough, but also losing your ID and credit cards makes it so much worse.
People leave kids in running cars at gas stations too. There have been two that I know of in my city in the past couple of years. One was at a gas station where homeless and other seedy characters always hang out by the doors begging for change or a cigarette and one of them saw they left the car running and stole it. Thankfully once they saw the baby in the back they ditched the car a block away. The other one went on a full speed chase with the kid in the back, thankfully the kid was alright in the end.
Even if your area is safe I still don't get it. If not for safety then at least for the convenience of not having to go to the car all the time to grab your stuff. Something tells me they're lying about leaving their stuff in the car to make them feel bad.
I love that his argument was basically "you only need parking stickers to park in a parking space. Well...my friend wasn't IN a parking space! So why did he get towed?"
and he does not live there!!!....I have seen on other tow channels where people argue that.....they do not live there and did not sign any contract so you cannot touch their car.....they can't grasp the idea that not being a resident pretty much means your car does not belong there at all unless in a guest spot and following the guest spot rules
I like how both of you explain everything to the customer, go beyond the call of duty to meet late at night, and you treat the customer with respect. I work with the public. It can be difficult sometimes. I think I would be nervous meeting 10 people at 1:30 am. I also like how you document the vehicle and communications.
@@cynthiakritika5047 Both of these phrases worked for me, raising boys. Now any time I start with "Your lack of planning....." they both shout out the ending! It's a great family joke. 😆
Its been nearly 30 years since i lived in an apartment building, but I recall well knowing that if you didn't follow the parking rules you would get towed. Whether this was not having a sticker, parking in someone else's spot or parking in no parking zones. Somehow, I managed to never get towed. Its almost like I followed the rules and didn't have a problem.
problem is, the complex issues the permits, but it's usually MORE than the amount of legal spots to park in, not taking into account visitors! This happens in my complex all the time... lot is full by 5pm!
Why do women leave their purses lying free in shopping carts? Girls are very aware of their personal safety, but don’t think carefully about their belongings.
Man, I would not want to be a property manager for an apartment complex. It would be like herding cats, LOL. I know people think tow companies are vultures, but come on! If the manager has trouble getting all these tenants to comply, and cannot control the visitor/sublessees situation, then the city gets down on them, so something has to give, folks. EA, you are doing a good job, you're polite and down to earth and non-judgmental. I've never had trouble with a tow company--but I'm careful not to park illegally, LOL. And recently a tow driver helped me out of a tight situation, so you guys are in general, aces in my book!
I lived in gated apartment complex like that. Not only did half the apartments have 6 college aged kids, but they had 1 free parking spot for every 4 apartments. They wanted like 50 for covered and 80 for garages i think. Whenever id complain the mgmt solution was to suggest we pay for 2 spots. Made me so angry!
Most municipalities have ordinances that specify the amount of parking spaces per apartment. When renters are allowing other people to live in the apartment without the knowledge of the landlord they are defrauding the landlord and possibly making the landlord responsible for too many residents in an apartment, which usually is a safety hazard. It is sad that adults can’t follow rules. Ignorance is not a defense either but so many people want to use it.
Yeah, the property manager seems to be subleasing her problems to the towing company. She needs to inspect the damn property and start evicting people who have permanent guests but instead she thinks she can tow all her problems away.
Fun fact. One of my grandsons isn't at all interested in EA, but he watches the membership credits to see my name . He then yells and says, "Graaaaaannnnny!"
I caught myself the other day parking in a lot i was not familiar with. Didn't see any no parking signs but i then went around my car to make sure it wasn't painted on ground. These videos have now made me self aware!😊
After watching so many videos on utube I'm convinced the mentality of people is headed south and has been for years. It's great to hear someone with COMMON SENSE !!
The building I'm in has 140 units and 160 spots. $40 per month for 1st spot, $200 per month for 2nd (if available). The visitor parking is $5 per hour parking / 12 hour max. Both are heavily patrolled. Adulting is not that hard.
Jesus thats nuts my first car is free and the second 8 a month unless you doing what im currently doing have a garage and then your second car can be free for the year but if you dont renew your pass once the year is up they will tow you resident or not
Wow, I guess I really adult. My paid for house has free parking for up to 12 vehicles, sleeping for at least six and hospitality for local critters if they are brave enough to face my cats. We do okay.
It is so funny people think they can out talk Jeff like he’s never heard every excuse under the sun. 😂😂😂Jeff’s dreams consist of saying, “ You need a sticker.” 😂😂😂
I love how people think it is OK to try and press for a cheaper price. Glad you stay consistent. You guys are awesome. Respectful and professional, bravo!
Mostly I applaud them for taking cash only. I think in previous videos they said they refuse credit cards because the owner would just cancel the transaction. People can be real 💩
Here is how I read the one conversation . "You towed my friends illegally parked vehicle. Now I'm going to find someone else's vehicle to get towed because I can"
You two are so patient, doing a job and having to deal with so many different people from multiple cultures. I like your videos, as it reminds me how blessed I am, just to wake up and have an adventure in your mountains.
yea I wish he would stop that it is going to cause an issue at some point.....but I suppose the argument he will have is that he gave them a break for a week or two and after that it is on them and it will be towed every time
Telling them to put a note is not a good idea. You need a sticker, end of story. Soon you'll have a lot full of cars that have visitor hand written notes.
Clearly there are a lot of immigrants or possibly migrant workers in that complex. It's well known that they always have a lot of people in their homes so they can send money back home. That appears to be the crux of the problem. It seems concerning to me that the manager hasn't figured this out yet? You can't hand out more stickers than there are parking spots. I'm thinking she might need to do random apartment checks to verify number of people in each unit. I know in my apartment complex you can't have a visitor more than 3 days. Start handing out lease violations for too many people in a unit and it might just clear up the problem.
I had a cabin in Bryson city NC back in the late seventies, early eighties. We went to Gatlinburg regularly. My how things have changed! I was a software writer for many years and that part of the world was my escape. I love watching these videos. The gentleman that does the EA towing is supremely just in his towing practices. I really enjoy the inventiveness of some of these recoveries (when vehicles go off the road)! Keep on with the videos! They are very entertaining!!!
That's how the 3rd world rolls. " I can NOT be to be believing you towed the csrs of poor protected class 3rd world banana eaters . In Turd-Crapistan we do not be having such strange rules !! "" This is their thought pattern.
Something tells me that the main reason many don’t have stickers is the property manager doesn’t even know they are living there. As others have said, there are so many people living illegally in these apartments. Great job as always EA💪🏻🎉
@@doom4067 I mean, it's very hard to evict tenants these days. They can drag it for a while, and not pay out of spite on top as they are dragging it. It's just way easier to solve the parking space problem by towing unauthorized cars, even if it's just a stopgap solution.
This is great towing drama. Nice editing, story background, follow up and music. I used to watch GTOGER till they ran out of illegal parks. It was the parking lot side of illegal parking. You do a great job of towing. 👍
@@judychellis7793. Is that what happened? They moved? Damn! I loved those videos. Covid halted them and I kept going back just to see if I missed something. I guess I will unsubscribe his channel. No sense leaving that up. Too bad. They had Merch too. 😔😔
As a super of a building, I understand the frustration of people not following the parking rules. No one takes responsibility. You guys have the patience of a saint.
Can we take a minute to appreciate the production value on this video? That intro sounds like it belonged in a true crime documentary about Russia’s most prolific serial killer.
The problem is the apartments are packed with people who are not on the lease. Code enforcement will have to get involved at some point. People trying to get over paying rent is the PROBLEM
Yep! And the property manager thinks that she can just TOW all her problems away. She thinks if enough get towed, all the non tenants will find another place to live. I think she needs to just grow a pair and start evicting people rather than just towing vehicles.
I just need to thank Kendra for taking a time out of her day while being mommy, editing this hour video. Not only did I enjoy the cars being towed and Jeff always keep it 💯 but I can't wait for the next hour special (whenever you have time) Thank you Kendra #TeamEA
Technically, that paint was pretty faded. He may have thought it said 'No Peking" or "No Peeking" or even "No Packing". But then again, there was a big sign that said no parking without decal, and he didn't have a decal, so there's that.
I've watched many towing videos. Some of "BIG" SEMI,trucks double semi,trucks bus,s also. Everything Autos,,you are amazing. Tow truckers are unbelievable good at their jobs. THANK YOU for your service
@@joane.3533yeah it seems as though these guys are cramming into apartments that aren’t meant for 10 people and then when there is no parking they flip out. Big babies trying to get others towed. So many “ friends” visiting for 5 minutes. Jeff you and your wife are so kind.
This might make me sound callous but the way she was crying was so cartoonish I kind of found it funny. It's like hearing someone literally say "boohoo" or "wah" when they're crying😅
Hi we are from central Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 top end of gods country lol we just love your channel, and how nice and you both are to people , even when there not nice to you, its refreshing and entertaining to watch your life in towing , thank you so much❤
Another great video! I truly can not understand why people think they can just park anywhere. Then they don't want to pay for their mistake. Stay safe EA team!!
If you were not American, and had met an American you would easily understand why. Lovely people in general but a massive sense of entitlement which tells them their ‘rights’ means they can ignore any rules and do what they want - without consequence.
@@grahamo22 if you would notice most of these people are only loosely "American"......really based on the idea that they happen to be living in the USA right now
I am definitely American. A good ole Georgia boy. I am definitely not into the entitlement or woke agenda. There have been a few folks in EA videos admitting they were in the wrong and paid the bill.
They're nice enough, that's true but NO ONE ever talks about how and why they don't disclose how much the cash fee's are to get your car back after a tow for illegal parking, they'll share the drop fee, $150 but they won't give the numbers for getting back from the tow lot, from the research I've been able to do i believe it's 400 or 450, could be more, they sure don't want anyone to know😂😂😂😂
Only had one towing experience. My roomate and I moved to my hometown Virginia Beach VA. She had never seen the ocean before. We went right to the beach as soon as we hit town. She was so excited and wanted to get her feet wet so bad. When she realized you had to pay to park everywhere near the ocean front. She decided to pull into a beach front hotel and park. I told her they will tow you so fast it'll make your head spin. She was sure she could run down to the water and back before they could tow her. WRONG her car was gone in less than 10 minutes. Told her as a teenager we made extra cash in the summer spotting for tow companies at hotels. I made 10 bucks for very car I called in. That was good money in the early 70s. All the local teens did it.
Hey Guys. Just got home from a 3 day trip to Gatlinburg. Looked for you guys but didn't see you. Talking to several shop owners and they all know you Jeff. Talked to the folks at Anakeesta and they said my car was safe there for 10 hours after paying, which I did. Kiddingly, I say YES, Pay to park! They said hey, you know Jeff!.....lol!!!!
Wow. That apartment complex was wild. I hope they don’t give out too many stickers and not have enough parking places. Keep up the good work Team EA! ❤
The problem seems to be that the manager ignores apartments with 5 to 8 adults living in them. The building and the parking lot are not designed for that type of occupancy.
@@SqueakPip, more for people who really are just visiting so she knows they aren't residents. I'm sure she checks back and when it stays for days has it towed. I did weekend/night on call for a home health company. We had a placard to put on the dash with a cellophane window to write which apartment we were visiting. I did have owners come knock just to be sure. I never minded, folks will try all manner of sneaky stuff.
You would be surprised!!! They will put a twin mattress in every closet and multiple mattresses in all the room's including living rooms!!! I have seen 17 grown men piled in a 2 bedroom apartment!!! Most of the time they're illegals or foreigners here working and that's how they do thing's!!! I just came across y'all yesterday and now you have a new subscriber and I love all the video's I've seen and I love your wife, because her attitude is just like mine!!! Sending love to y'all from Texas!!!❤❤❤
Love your channel. I'm 63 and this boggles my mind how many people that are arrogant and then play the I'm self entitled. When they get called out they play the ignorant game. Love you Jeff and Kristen. 👍
Apartment complexes usually have specific visitor parking or you get a temporary visitor sign from the office. I agree with the past videos, the parking stickers are to be attached to the car, not to be passed around. A few of mine required them to be on the inside of the car so they can't be peeled off and stolen.
Even in the UK my sister only gets one permit, my nephew still lives at home, but he has to park elsewhere as he doesn’t pay rent. They get 12 x one day visitor passes per year. Everyone apartment gets a specific spot.
I like watching the apartment pickups, not sure why, probably because you're really helping them out...with the city, the garbage and other residents doing the right thing....love the music by the way
I've been driving longer than I sometimes want to think about. Ford was president when I got my license. The only time I have been towed is when I called for a tow to a mechanic. I think some people think they won't get caught or perhaps they feel entitled. If you have to walk a bit from where you can park it's better than ponying up the tow fee.
That's a time period when I got interested in politics seriously for the first time. I was a young teen and leaned liberal. I actually didn't get my license for another few years, but the only time I have been towed were for breakdowns or accidents. I'm not parking illegally, I have legs.
Just FYI, I needed a tow about a year ago(in PA), and the car was AWD, so they sent a rollback. It was still able to be driven onto and off of the rollback, and was transported about 10 miles. It was $225 for the tow. They had keys, didn't need dollies, or any of that mess. Just letting you know, as your rates seem pretty dang cheap for the work involved.
You guys work your asses off, so much respect! I can't be bothered to get out of bed to take a piss at 3 am and here y'all are dealing with an absolute nightmare all through the dead of night. Y'all are inspiring ❤️
So, since you can't be bothered to get outta bed a 3 for a piss do you wear adult diapers? Sleep on rubber sheets? Interesting, guess you sleep like a baby, piss yourself and go back to sleep 💤 😴 😂
The apartment should number each parking spot and every apartment is assigned the 2 spots in front of their apartment. Anyone in the wrong space gets towed.
Most of these places don't have enough parking for the number of rooms in the first place so someone is getting towed every day, the owner is just hoping everyone is not going to be there at the same time!
I was wondering how you knew when someone parked there so I'm glad you said it was picked up on camera. That answered my question before I needed to ask it.
It seems now that the property manager is enforcing the rules the tenants aren't liking it much. Unfortunately as long as the leased apartment residents have people living with them and have more cars than typically allowed per apartment its going to be a constant issue. Makes great content for us..but what a pain for EA.. Love this long video! Thank you Kendra for your awesome editing. Thank you Jeff and Kirsten for putting up with the nonsense to make the content! ❤️ The Bryant's from California
@@rodrod383 I was gonna say, that complex must be bringing BANK to Jeff's wallet. :D Raid that lot every night for a week and I bet EA gets a new snatch truck by the end of the month. :D
The manager seems to be addressing the symptom, but not the cause. EA is in business to make money. They'll happily go where the money is. No one can force them to tow cars.
These vids are satisfying. I lived at an apartment where people parked in my stall. I was just young and didnt know how this tow worked. I thought I'd have to pay for it, lol. Luckily it didnt happen a ton. You guys do great work. You have to talk to the rule breakers who are upset but there are people you help
Doesn't mean patrolling for cars that sit for 3 minutes is cool. That has happened to me, I left my car for 3 minutes for an emergency and it was gone. Not cool.

@@valerietalmage1702 I take it that their lot is too small for that. If it can't handle more than 1 vehicle per unit, forget about visitors.
Bottom line, he doesn’t want to contact management because they would find out he's subleasing his apartment to 9 other dudes for twice what he pays.
Gotta wonder if it's something like that.
Definitely something like this ! 🤦🤦🤦🤦 And do not believe for a second they called the police to complain/inquire about parking at this location. That was a CYA statement trying to sound like he's legit when he's 1000% not.
Most likely that's what it is. And I bet the reason why the other residents don't have any spaces to park in is because there's 9 dudes with 9 cars in one apartment.
Exactly! I thought that, the last time he towed a vehicle from there. He asked one of the group of young men if he lived there, since he was parked in a parking spot, and he said he was "visiting"! They complain about the lack of parking, but they are the ones illegally taking resident spaces! Then they moan about the cost of towing, and ask for a break!
Yeah I bet you’re right! People think they can get away with so much stuff!
" I was only in there for 5 minutes. " Meanwhile, it took longer to hook up. Bravo
Well abd then the time to call, and wait for them to get there. Then the hook up and driving it away. 😂
Whenever I see a sign that says "No Parking You Will Be Towed" I tend to believe them.
Interesting you say that alot of businesses just post signs just so they reserve the right to tow.

I can’t believe how many people leave their wallets in their cars! Pure stupidity!!
Yes!
I'm on NextDoor and there is this luxury gated apartment complex that got shoehorned into my neighborhood that has lots of section 8 apartments and low income houses and people post on there weekly about their cars getting "broken into" and how they don't understand how they're getting in through the fence. They leave guns, laptops, wallets, etc out in plain view and don't lock their doors and then are shocked when they get robbed. That's why I put broken into in quotations cause they didn't break in when they left the doors unlocked, they were just robbed.
They stick out like sore thumbs because they have $50-100k new luxury vehicles driving through the neighborhood so all the poor people not below stealing see that and see dollar signs.
I was coming to say the same thing 😂😂😂
I was gonna say too! Take your shit into the house!!
Loserville. Of course these dumbasses that can't park leave they're empty wallets in their cars.
It's not just garbage truck,but also Emergency vehicles!
What's happened is that this apartment complex now has the reputation of being a "flop house" property where 4 or more are moving into one apartment, but only 1 is on the lease. The property manager is going to have to get tough and start doing evictions in addition to towing. You all have amazing skills to maneuver between all of those cars and tight spaces! Well done, sir!
Do you guys every get any sleep? Do you ever get tired of explaining the details over and over
I was just thinking the same thing - she is going to have to start taking legal action to enforce the terms of the lease and occupancy limits, and doing evictions - or this game of parking whack-a-mole is never going to end.
Yeah, I think this property manager thinks she can just tow her problems away. She thinks the non residents will just leave if they get towed. What actually tends to happen is the good tenants end up leaving because they have no parking spot. This manager seems a bit too passive to be managing these apartments. Everything Autos is doing their job but she also has a job to do which is making sure that the tenants on the leases are the only ones living there.
I would not live there....
It's tough for one person to afford to pay for an apartment on their own. I feel for these young folks in these times.
They pay $1,600 a month but then sublease so 10 guy's pay $160 each. They sign the rental contract for 2 people and get 2 parking passes but there's 5 or 6 more vehicles trying to park at " their " complex.
Do you live there? No? So be part of the solution not sitting squat in the problem, I swear kiddos today live to complain😂😂😂
@@bethewalt7385What are you even talking about? He's not complaining, just explaining the problem for those you dont know
They also copy the parking passes and hand them out like candy
This is exactly what is happening at my complex, which is a senior housing complex. The extra vehicles park wherever they want, blocking driveways and visitor only spaces.
@@bethewalt7385 lol how is he being part of the problem when hes explaining the problem. are you an immigrant?
You have far more patience with people than I could ever have. Well done
I love how he was mad you took his friends car, but now he is telling on other people who don’t have stickers. Real stand up guy.
It was confusing and if I was called that late at night for someone to talk out both sides of their mouth at me I'd be just as bewildered as Jeff was. He was mad he couldn't park his car when he came home from work, but also mad his buddy/roommate/guy he's charging $100 a week to sleep on his couch was towed when he wasn't "blocking a spot."
I half expected him to ask why they didn't bring his buddy's car with them to drop off when they came back to tow someone else.
Well when your mad!!!!!!

I find it interesting that everyone thinks Jeff and Kristen are such saints, yet they'll never openly disclose what they charge for getting your car back if it's been towed due to illegal parking, hmmmm? I believe from all I've Sussed out it's 400 or 450, could be higher, not saying they aren't nice folks but they certainly don't want their "fans" to know how exorbitant their rates are, hey it's a free market economy so you do you but they're dodging on this and everyone seems to ignore that fact, gloss right over it😂😂😂😂😂
@bethewalt7385 anyone who has been watching our channel for even a few months knows what the fees are, and they are not close to $400 or $450. It’s a little odd that you’re so worked up over a hypothetical.

I am impressed at how entitled these people are that laws do not apply to them.
Can you imagine what their apartments look like inside?
Mexicans & East India people think they are above the Law
I very lived in 22 different 3rd world countries. You are seeing part of WHY they are 3rd world. Rule of Law is not high on the priority list. You go in houses and see electric wire and outlets STAPLED to the drywall. Not even electric tape at connections. These countries do have construction laws and codes, but they're ignored or bribed away. It's why Haiti collapses every 3.0 earthquake.
I can see why your cameras are your best friend, especially documenting the tows. Stay safe out there.
When they plan an apartment complex, they allow for X amount of spaces per unit. When you have 8 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment, 6 of whom aren't on the lease, they take up the spaces for legitimate tennants.
Evictions should start taking place when the landlord finds out this is happening.
@@VioletWings1353They often do as it’s a material breach of the lease.
It's amazing how people leave all their important cards and wallets in a car. Not too smart. She needs to clean house and get ride of half the people not on the lease.
That lady with the kids was so upset, but there was no reason for her to not have a sticker or be on the do not tow list if she just did the adult thing and communicated with the landlord. My husband and I have just the 1 car and pay for street parking (my city tickets anything on the street between 3am and 5am that didn't pay resident or visitor fees through the city website) but when it's a bad snow or when I had my c-section we got permission to park around close to our door, blocking the landscaping garage. It's not a parking space, but we had it in writing and I printed the email out to keep on the dash from the landlord.
So if you are polite and ask permission rather than forgiveness these things can work out.
@@aarons3695 Exactly. About one out of ten speak English.
I will never understand why people leave so much important stuff in their car overnight. If your car is stolen it's bad enough, but also losing your ID and credit cards makes it so much worse.
...and guns...don't forget....America right lol
People leave kids in running cars at gas stations too. There have been two that I know of in my city in the past couple of years. One was at a gas station where homeless and other seedy characters always hang out by the doors begging for change or a cigarette and one of them saw they left the car running and stole it. Thankfully once they saw the baby in the back they ditched the car a block away. The other one went on a full speed chase with the kid in the back, thankfully the kid was alright in the end.
Even if your area is safe I still don't get it. If not for safety then at least for the convenience of not having to go to the car all the time to grab your stuff. Something tells me they're lying about leaving their stuff in the car to make them feel bad.
I love that his argument was basically "you only need parking stickers to park in a parking space. Well...my friend wasn't IN a parking space! So why did he get towed?"
and he does not live there!!!....I have seen on other tow channels where people argue that.....they do not live there and did not sign any contract so you cannot touch their car.....they can't grasp the idea that not being a resident pretty much means your car does not belong there at all unless in a guest spot and following the guest spot rules
Just Imagine if they left a note on the dash….
Yeah, "he doesn't even live here" was a great argument for being able to park illegally.😄

Its been nearly 30 years since i lived in an apartment building, but I recall well knowing that if you didn't follow the parking rules you would get towed. Whether this was not having a sticker, parking in someone else's spot or parking in no parking zones. Somehow, I managed to never get towed. Its almost like I followed the rules and didn't have a problem.
I don’t understand. 😂
Amazing, right? And at one point I had a 1964 station wagon that was 15' long and 6' wide 😂
Maintaining a level of understanding and empathy in these situations must be challenging, but helps build a respectable business. Respect!
Even if they have a sticker they should not be parking in a lined area.
problem is, the complex issues the permits, but it's usually MORE than the amount of legal spots to park in, not taking into account visitors! This happens in my complex all the time... lot is full by 5pm!

I am addicted to this channel.
excellent suggestion!!!
Who knew towing videos would be so entertaining?
And can be very dangerous.
Man, I would not want to be a property manager for an apartment complex. It would be like herding cats, LOL. I know people think tow companies are vultures, but come on! If the manager has trouble getting all these tenants to comply, and cannot control the visitor/sublessees situation, then the city gets down on them, so something has to give, folks. EA, you are doing a good job, you're polite and down to earth and non-judgmental. I've never had trouble with a tow company--but I'm careful not to park illegally, LOL. And recently a tow driver helped me out of a tight situation, so you guys are in general, aces in my book!
1 or 2 people on the lease but 4 people live there...exactly why there isn't enough parking.
I lived in gated apartment complex like that. Not only did half the apartments have 6 college aged kids, but they had 1 free parking spot for every 4 apartments. They wanted like 50 for covered and 80 for garages i think. Whenever id complain the mgmt solution was to suggest we pay for 2 spots. Made me so angry!
Most municipalities have ordinances that specify the amount of parking spaces per apartment. When renters are allowing other people to live in the apartment without the knowledge of the landlord they are defrauding the landlord and possibly making the landlord responsible for too many residents in an apartment, which usually is a safety hazard. It is sad that adults can’t follow rules. Ignorance is not a defense either but so many people want to use it.
Who are these people? Where are they from? Is the guy on lease making $$$ off these people????
That complex is a total mess. Subleasing seems to be a huge problem.
Yeah, the property manager seems to be subleasing her problems to the towing company. She needs to inspect the damn property and start evicting people who have permanent guests but instead she thinks she can tow all her problems away.
@@scottmichaels12Spot on.
Fun fact. One of my grandsons isn't at all interested in EA, but he watches the membership credits to see my name . He then yells and says, "Graaaaaannnnny!"
Lovely story.

How dare he not be a fan of EA. But cool that he loves seeing your name in The credits.
I love it! That's awesome.
I caught myself the other day parking in a lot i was not familiar with. Didn't see any no parking signs but i then went around my car to make sure it wasn't painted on ground. These videos have now made me self aware!😊
After watching so many videos on utube I'm convinced the mentality of people is headed south and has been for years. It's great to hear someone with COMMON SENSE !!
I understand the landlord not wanting to be fined - but in addition to the garbage trucks how about fire trucks and ambulances?
The building I'm in has 140 units and 160 spots. $40 per month for 1st spot, $200 per month for 2nd (if available).
The visitor parking is $5 per hour parking / 12 hour max.
Both are heavily patrolled.
Adulting is not that hard.
Jesus thats nuts my first car is free and the second 8 a month unless you doing what im currently doing have a garage and then your second car can be free for the year but if you dont renew your pass once the year is up they will tow you resident or not
Wow, I guess I really adult. My paid for house has free parking for up to 12 vehicles, sleeping for at least six and hospitality for local critters if they are brave enough to face my cats. We do okay.
50:59 "...not going to pay". My mind: Well then you aren't getting your car. LOL
Lol, let the car sit! Every day costs more 🤣💰
Not getting the car, but you are getting storage fees. Lose, lose!

It is so funny people think they can out talk Jeff like he’s never heard every excuse under the sun. 😂😂😂Jeff’s dreams consist of saying, “ You need a sticker.” 😂😂😂
Actually his dreams are : if your parking for free expect to see me. Lmao 😂
You need a parking sticker , and you need to park in a legal spot , and not where you feel like parking just because you have the parking sticker .
I love how people think it is OK to try and press for a cheaper price. Glad you stay consistent. You guys are awesome. Respectful and professional, bravo!
It's kind of like asking the police to reduce the price of the speeding ticket. 🙄
Not really, some things are negotiable and in many cultures haggling is expected.
Mostly I applaud them for taking cash only. I think in previous videos they said they refuse credit cards because the owner would just cancel the transaction. People can be real 💩
I don't fault anyone for trying to save money.
Here is how I read the one conversation .
"You towed my friends illegally parked vehicle. Now I'm going to find someone else's vehicle to get towed because I can"
Basically! 😂😂
I heard it as "Why did you tow my friend's illegally parked vehicle when there are three others that you could've taken instead?'
@@kineticpsiwhat a dumb statement, if overheard by others they will ensure that you receive 4 flat tyres
I believe they were doing that so a parking space would be opened for them!
You two are so patient, doing a job and having to deal with so many different people from multiple cultures. I like your videos, as it reminds me how blessed I am, just to wake up and have an adventure in your mountains.
You are so patient with people. Well done. I get so tired of people repeating themselves expecting a different answer.
Telling people to put a note on their dash that they are “visiting” will open a can of worms.
yea I wish he would stop that it is going to cause an issue at some point.....but I suppose the argument he will have is that he gave them a break for a week or two and after that it is on them and it will be towed every time
If the manager or owner of the property calls & tells them to tow it. Then even that won't work.
I thought that in a different video. I'm like, NO, don't say that, ever 😂
Telling them to put a note is not a good idea. You need a sticker, end of story. Soon you'll have a lot full of cars that have visitor hand written notes.
Clearly there are a lot of immigrants or possibly migrant workers in that complex. It's well known that they always have a lot of people in their homes so they can send money back home. That appears to be the crux of the problem. It seems concerning to me that the manager hasn't figured this out yet? You can't hand out more stickers than there are parking spots. I'm thinking she might need to do random apartment checks to verify number of people in each unit.
I know in my apartment complex you can't have a visitor more than 3 days. Start handing out lease violations for too many people in a unit and it might just clear up the problem.
It’s also for fire truck, ambulance, moving truck’s etc. ❤ Don’t park in hash marked spots.
These people are crazy liars. You’re so kind & respectful. 🇺🇸❤
I had a cabin in Bryson city NC back in the late seventies, early eighties. We went to Gatlinburg regularly. My how things have changed! I was a software writer for many years and that part of the world was my escape. I love watching these videos. The gentleman that does the EA towing is supremely just in his towing practices. I really enjoy the inventiveness of some of these recoveries (when vehicles go off the road)! Keep on with the videos! They are very entertaining!!!
I love how people think these no parking rules don’t apply to them just others
That's how the 3rd world rolls.
" I can NOT be to be believing you towed the csrs of poor protected class 3rd world banana eaters . In Turd-Crapistan we do not be having such strange rules !! ""
This is their thought pattern.
Only when they get caught
Only disgusting immigrants and colored people
Something tells me that the main reason many don’t have stickers is the property manager doesn’t even know they are living there. As others have said, there are so many people living illegally in these apartments. Great job as always EA💪🏻🎉
I think she knows. She just ignores it, and will feign ignorance when the time comes.
@@doom4067 I mean, it's very hard to evict tenants these days. They can drag it for a while, and not pay out of spite on top as they are dragging it. It's just way easier to solve the parking space problem by towing unauthorized cars, even if it's just a stopgap solution.
This is great towing drama. Nice editing, story background, follow up and music.

Can we take a minute to appreciate the production value on this video? That intro sounds like it belonged in a true crime documentary about Russia’s most prolific serial killer.
The problem is the apartments are packed with people who are not on the lease. Code enforcement will have to get involved at some point. People trying to get over paying rent is the PROBLEM
Cost of living- rent/morgage sharing etc will do that when there's people not making a reasonable wage to keep up.
Yep! And the property manager thinks that she can just TOW all her problems away. She thinks if enough get towed, all the non tenants will find another place to live. I think she needs to just grow a pair and start evicting people rather than just towing vehicles.
That's what I was thinking. Fire code enforcement will start at some point.
@@derekh8688. Fire violation will move them out faster than eviction process.

Technically, that paint was pretty faded. He may have thought it said 'No Peking" or "No Peeking" or even "No Packing". But then again, there was a big sign that said no parking without decal, and he didn't have a decal, so there's that.

Only had one towing experience. My roomate and I moved to my hometown Virginia Beach VA. She had never seen the ocean before. We went right to the beach as soon as we hit town. She was so excited and wanted to get her feet wet so bad. When she realized you had to pay to park everywhere near the ocean front. She decided to pull into a beach front hotel and park. I told her they will tow you so fast it'll make your head spin. She was sure she could run down to the water and back before they could tow her. WRONG her car was gone in less than 10 minutes. Told her as a teenager we made extra cash in the summer spotting for tow companies at hotels. I made 10 bucks for very car I called in. That was good money in the early 70s. All the local teens did it.
Hey Guys. Just got home from a 3 day trip to Gatlinburg. Looked for you guys but didn't see you. Talking to several shop owners and they all know you Jeff.

@@SqueakPip That one young woman should have been towed again. He gave her leeway and she abused it.

Love your channel. I'm 63 and this boggles my mind how many people that are arrogant and then play the I'm self entitled. When they get called out they play the ignorant game. Love you Jeff and Kristen. 👍
Apartment complexes usually have specific visitor parking or you get a temporary visitor sign from the office. I agree with the past videos, the parking stickers are to be attached to the car, not to be passed around. A few of mine required them to be on the inside of the car so they can't be peeled off and stolen.
Your so calm explaining stuff it’s great it’s hilarious love your channel keep it up
I think because rents are high everywhere, there are twice as many tenants per apartment as the lot was designed for.
Finally, someone gets it! Thank you 🙏
Of course people see that. The problem is with the property manager giving too many stickers apparently
If rents are high, get a better, second or third job. Someone being poor doesn’t entitle them to stuff 8 people in an apartment.
51 spaces for 34 apartments
The lot was designed for a pre 2000 economy.
"It's not fair that you expect me to abide by the rules like those peasants!"
I love the illegal parking videos. Keep up the good work.
Even in the UK my sister only gets one permit, my nephew still lives at home, but he has to park elsewhere as he doesn’t pay rent. They get 12 x one day visitor passes per year. Everyone apartment gets a specific spot.
I like watching the apartment pickups, not sure why, probably because you're really helping them out...with the city, the garbage and other residents doing the right thing....love the music by the way
Fire department has the right to push vehicle out there way it is in their way and it could be the way for them to get access.

@@nancytorres5867- that’s an excellent point. There was no fire truck using the hydrant so I figured that I could park there 🤷♂️

I've been driving longer than I sometimes want to think about. Ford was president when I got my license. The only time I have been towed is when I called for a tow to a mechanic. I think some people think they won't get caught or perhaps they feel entitled. If you have to walk a bit from where you can park it's better than ponying up the tow fee.
That's a time period when I got interested in politics seriously for the first time. I was a young teen and leaned liberal. I actually didn't get my license for another few years, but the only time I have been towed were for breakdowns or accidents. I'm not parking illegally, I have legs.
igot mine in 75 nixon maybe or ford
Thank you and all your family. Your videos make me realize I'm not as stupid or crazy as I thought. You are all TERRIFFIC and WONDERFUL😍🥰😇
Just FYI, I needed a tow about a year ago(in PA), and the car was AWD, so they sent a rollback. It was still able to be driven onto and off of the rollback, and was transported about 10 miles. It was $225 for the tow. They had keys, didn't need dollies, or any of that mess. Just letting you know, as your rates seem pretty dang cheap for the work involved.
You guys work your asses off, so much respect! I can't be bothered to get out of bed to take a piss at 3 am and here y'all are dealing with an absolute nightmare all through the dead of night. Y'all are inspiring ❤️
So, since you can't be bothered to get outta bed a 3 for a piss do you wear adult diapers? Sleep on rubber sheets? Interesting, guess you sleep like a baby, piss yourself and go back to sleep 💤 😴 😂
Right! They r amazing!
The apartment should number each parking spot and every apartment is assigned the 2 spots in front of their apartment. Anyone in the wrong space gets towed.
Yeah, reserved spots are the only way to go, communal parking is more open to abuse
That's common sense, but it seems like a lot of people are living in each unit for some reason.

Most of these places don't have enough parking for the number of rooms in the first place so someone is getting towed every day, the owner is just hoping everyone is not going to be there at the same time!
@@MylesHSG, that's funny. Because those people don't own 6 cars. Try again.
I was wondering how you knew when someone parked there so I'm glad you said it was picked up on camera. That answered my question before I needed to ask it.
EA contact sports, verbal abuse, threats, lies and some towing. Love you guys. Now thats entertainment!
It seems now that the property manager is enforcing the rules the tenants aren't liking it much.
Unfortunately as long as the leased apartment residents have people living with them and have more cars than typically allowed per apartment its going to be a constant issue.
Makes great content for us..but what a pain for EA..
Love this long video! Thank you Kendra for your awesome editing. Thank you Jeff and Kirsten for putting up with the nonsense to make the content!
❤️ The Bryant's from California
the pain is lessened by the cash hahaha
😀😀😀
@@rodrod383 I was gonna say, that complex must be bringing BANK to Jeff's wallet. :D
Raid that lot every night for a week and I bet EA gets a new snatch truck by the end of the month. :D
The manager seems to be addressing the symptom, but not the cause.
EA is in business to make money. They'll happily go where the money is. No one can force them to tow cars.
Such amazing patience Jeff has. I would lose my S%&@ so fast.
These vids are satisfying. I lived at an apartment where people parked in my stall. I was just young and didnt know how this tow worked. I thought I'd have to pay for it, lol. Luckily it didnt happen a ton.
You guys do great work. You have to talk to the rule breakers who are upset but there are people you help
It’s very good of you to do what you can to deescalate the tension for everyone concerned ❤
Pinged his air pods hoping he could steal the car back probably. No sympathy given.
Who leaves expensive belongings in their car? These people are idiots.
Oh no someone parked illegally and and now doesn't wanna pay 😭😭😭 grow up, pay your dues and move on. I did and paid the parking ticket. Life goes on
Absolutely
Doesn't mean patrolling for cars that sit for 3 minutes is cool. That has happened to me, I left my car for 3 minutes for an emergency and it was gone. Not cool.
@@JMRSplatt it is what it is. Some areas are no parking and it’s enforced. Pay it and go on. That’s just part of life.
@@JMRSplatt It takes longer than 3 minutes to hook up the tow
