TAMPA - It happens to thousands of drivers all over the bay area. So far this year, more than 4,000 people in Hillsborough County returned to their parked vehicle to find it missing.
We are not talking about auto theft but towing.
Some companies are more aggressive than others in enforcing no-parking zones. Tow companies are regulated, but too often consumers who feel their wheels were removed in error don't know where to complain or who might be able to help them.
Image via WikipediaRachel Blunk is among those who claim the tow company made a mistake. "There were signs there that said 30-minute parking and it had not been 30 minutes," says Blunk. Her daughter stopped at a CVS, purchased an ice tea for which she says she has a receipt, then walked outside and sat on a bench to drink the tea. "She walked around to the side where her car was parked and the car had been towed," says Blunk.Blunk's tow took place in Pinellas County, where tow operators don't have to obtain a license with the county, but they do have to abide by the local ordinance.
