    Default Bar Owner Had My Car Towed

    My question involves towing laws for the State of: Georgia

    So Saturday night i was out drinking and left my car overnight because i couldn't drive home. when i cam back the next morning my car was gone. the place said that they didn't know of anything. so i called a few tow companies and they said they didnt have it or they place that i called was closed. So i reported it stolen. Today, Monday, i called a few of the places and found it. when i asked why it was towed they said it was parked illegally. when i asked how and why they just said call the property manager. so i did. he said that since i left his bar, granted i couldn't drive cause i didnt want a DUI, that the vehicle was parked illegally and thats why it was towed....now i have to pay $175 for tow and storage fees plus my truck is an hour and a half away from where i left it. anyone have any comments or anything about the legality of this?

    Where, exactly, was your car parked? What did the signs say about parking?

    There's nothing inherently illegal about towing a car that is illegally parked.
