Ok! Well, had a nice Mother's Day, or so I thought. My husband and I took our 2 boys for a couple of hours to Six Flags this evening. (we have passes). Well, we never got a parking pass and didn't have the $45 today to get one so we parked across the street where tons of other cars were parked at the far end of a Restaurant's lot but next door to a vacant restaurant. When my DH was looking for a place to park he saw entrances that had tow away signs if you parked there so he didn't pull into one of those places. He found this lot and there was not a sign so we parked. Well, guess what!?!!? We got towed!!!
Come to find out, there was a sign but it was flipped around facing the wrong direction so we never even saw it until we started looking around. It is facing the parking lot so no one would ever see it until they left. We got several pictures from our cell phone so we have a good case. Many others were in the same boat as us but what we don't understand is there was one couple that had been there for about 5 hours who parked next to us and they weren't even towed.
A nice family gave me a ride over to the lot to try and get my van and I figured it would be maybe $75. OH NO!!! It was $244.10. I was so upset! I tried to get onto the lady about it and everything but she is just a clerk and told me I could complain to the transportation authority or whoever in the morning. Sounds like this is going to be a HUGE hassle to work this out. Filing a complaint, scheduling a hearing, etc. etc. etc. Please keep us in your prayers that we get this worked out. Also, my DH had a job interview last week and hopefully should know something this week. This job would make a huge difference in our lives!
