    Default Re: Car Towed at My Apartment

    so i have the same kind of issue. but i was hoping i could get some expert advise.
    I live in apartments that have general parking. And they put a sticker on my car window stating that my car is subject to towing due to my convertable not having a back window (it fell out due to glue being old :P) My car runs. i drive it to work every day. I dont have to pay for parking. In the lease for parking i dont show that there is anything about towing cars with missing windows. Is this legal for them? im not too keen on these types of things. and would love some advise/ help. thanks

    Not having a back window could easily give the appearance that the car is junked/abandoned - EVEN IF you are still driving it. Every city/county has their own wording in their ordinances about what does or doesn't constitute "junked or abandoned" - you'll want to find out for sure what the ordinance that applies to your particular jurisdiction says; as it's likely a prime target for tow. (The reason being that lots of cars with missing windows tend to be vehicles that have been stolen; many of which end up dumped in apartment complexes. Allowing vehicles without windows to remain, even if driveable, serves as a red flag that "hey, this is a good place to dump such vehicles because they just let them sit - no one bothers to check on them or do anything about them" - which is exactly what complexes who tow such vechicles are trying to avoid. Not coincidently, it falls under a theory of crime prevention actually CALLED "Broken Windows Theory".)
