Towing Issues: Vague parking situation, towed in 10 minutes at Jack in the Box, ridiculous act, sjsu campus
QuestionI went to go eat at Jack in the Box and parked at their lot. The first 5 spaces were full, then handicap spots, so I parked in the back where there were at least 8 or more open spots. I saw it was crowded and noticed a stairway leading up to a taqueria. This taqeria had hours posted clearly in view from JinB parking lot, a banner advertisting their business, and even side doors that were visible form Jin B parking lot. These doors were open so I went in for only 10 minutes to buy my buritto and eat it there. There was no line there as it looked new. I came back and was about to be towed. I had to pay $80 on the spot to release my car. I am making 1000 flyers to pass out next to the SJSU campus where the JinB is located calling a boycott for JinB, Towing company, and taqueria. For this clearly ridiculous act. They had 24 tow signs everywhere, however only 1 sign really high up saying parking for JinB only. Obviously I as I pulled in, I was focusing on eye level to the road, and missed this. HOwever, I am upset the stair area was not closed, locked, or had any warnings. Also taqueria management was not surprised when this happened. Other than the flyers, contacting all 3 companies, contacting police, do you suggest any other actions? Thanks, Raquel in San JOse, Ca
AnswerI really don't have any other suggestions. Since the towing company responded so quickly I can only assume that the parking lot has problems with parking issues. Maybe you could offer suggestions/recommendations to the companies to possibly solve the parking problems. Good luck, any other questions just ask.
