被拖车行抢了

来源: harrycy 于 10-04-22 07:39:07

朋友要回国3个月，把车听到他表弟的condo地下停车场。他表弟也是第一次用到，结果停错了位置。朋友从中国回来后发现车没了，管理员说被拖车公司拖走了。去拖车公司，一开始要2000刀。朋友说太贵了，能不能便宜点，找了个manager出来。说根据本公司的规定，在我们停车场超过60天的车就归我们了。你们现在马上离开。把车里面的驾照和保险单还给了我朋友。ownership和GPS他们说找不到了。朋友说我没有签字你怎么能拿到我的车。对方称，警察替你签字了。

现在是我朋友愿意付2000刀，他们都不给车，把他们都赶走了。去警局报警，警察说商业纠纷他不管，要我朋友去打官司。

那个车行后来打电话来说，现在有人要买这辆车，已经付了定金。如果我朋友愿意付$15,000刀。就把车给我朋友。要不然就卖给别人了。呵呵这个拖车公司不去干抢劫真是屈才了。

多伦多的事情。总听说干拖车的都是黑社会这次信了。

Towing Issues - Lien Sale of car after only 5 days of impound

Question
We live in Contra Costa County in CA and my husband got into a accident and our car had to be towed. Well that happened on Saturday 23, 2010, so Monday 25th I went down to the place to find out how much it was going to cost and to get a couple of things out of the car. And at that time it's only been there 3 days (including Sat) it was going to be $555 to get it out (which we don't have at that time), but then the lady told me if we didn't pick up our car by Wednesday 27th that it was going to be sold in a lien sale Wednesday 27th and she told me this after she said asked for the key and said she needed the key in case they had to move it around in the lot (which I gave her). So my question is can they sell my car like that if they only had it for a total of 5 days? Also can they do it without any notification except that Monday 25th when she verbally told me it was going to be sold on the Wednesday 27th?

If your car is impounded with a 30 day police hold what is the process regarding notification before they can sell your car at a lien sale auction?

Different states have different laws on this issue.

In some states, if the police have the car on hold, the impound yard cant charge storage fees until after the hold has been taken off. (I dont understand why the police would hold it for 30 days, that's not reasonable) But, the impound yard should notify the last registered owner via certified mail letting them know the total charges and giving them 30 day to pay and pick up the vehicle. After that, they will need to take the paperwork to the magistrate for a magistrate title. That can take up to 30-45 days, in which time you can still get the vehicle if you pay the charges. After that, the impound yard will get the magistrate title and can sell the vehicle.
