"Predatory towing" as a property owner and manager.

You can't be "predatory" towed away if you don't park where you aren't allowed to park

I think you need to look into this a little deeper. You'd be surprised. There's only 2-3 actual companies in the area.

Do you remember what the cost was to those towed?

Nothing for us. $175 if I remember correctly to get it out. I'd have to pay $50 out of pocket (and I did) for them to.
