    Default Car Towed After Being Left Overnight At Work

    Recently I had my vehicle towed in Tallahassee, fl from my jobs parking lot. i left my car overnight at my job's parking lot because they never tow in that parking lot. i worked that night until 3am and i had to work in the morning at 11 am, but when i came back to work in the morning i noticed my car had been towed. since my work is very close to the football stadium and there was a football game the people from the property management where my restaurant is located decided to close the parking lot for unauthorized people and tow every one who was parked in the spaces they decided to close. well they didn't put signs about towing until 5am of the morning when i came back to work to pick up my car, the night before there was no signs about towing that's why i decided to leave my car over night, they never told my boss that they were going to tow during the morning either. i know since i work in that plaza i can't get towed because the owner of the restaurant where i work at told me that he's employees and customers would not get towed because is on their lease. even though i left my car overnight i had permission from the owner of the restaurant to do so since they never tow. they are charging me $100 to get my car back even though i work in the plaza and by the time they towed my car they decided to not tow anymore since the tow trucks wouldn't know who's car belong to the people from the plaza and which people are just parked there for the game. shouldn't the towing company just return me my car with out me paying or shouldn't the management of the property pay for the towing expenses. please i need some advise a.s.a.p
    thank you

    You say "they are charging me $100 to get my car back" - who are "they"? If "they" means a towing company which was following the instructions of the management company, it is reasonable to infer that "they" simply want to be paid for their services - whether by you or by somebody else.

    Has your boss tried to help you out, by talking to the management company?

    the towing company is charging $103 to get my car back. my boss called the towing company and told them that i had come to work at around 5:30 am that day to clean the kitchen and do a couple of catering orders that were do at 9am. the phone lady from towing company said that she would have the general manager of the towing company call my manager back to confirm that i was actually working. the manager of the towing company never called my boss. duringthe afternoon i went to the towing place to talk to someone in person but all they told me was that their manager never got a call from my manager and that she couldnt give me his phone number. the funny thing is that i was in front of my manager when he called the towing company but the lady said that her manager was unable. well i went again during the night to get my car and i talked to a manger from the towing place and she told me to pay now and she would talk to her boss about refunding me my $103 back by monday and that she was sorry about towing my car while i was at work. is tuesday now and they( the towing company) said that they cant refund me my money untill the owner of the shopping center calls them. well i talked to the manager property of the shopping center and she told me that the towing company is not allow to tow unless someone from the property managment calls them to do so. the property managment offert to help me and contact the towing company so they would refund me my money. but i'm not sure if the towing company is still going to keep my money regardless of anything.

    If after the manager of the shopping center calls, they still don't refund your money, you may wish to pursue a claim through small claims court.
