So was sitting around tonight with some friends watching a movie, bout 12:15am my car starts paging me, as soon as i hear it i run for the door head on out and get to where my car is supposed to be within 15secs......

Not there, but i see it on the back of a tow truck 2 blocks down and the siren is still going

Now i was there maybe 1hr and 30mins before this happened, and long story short, to park at my friends apartment....i need a guess pass. And just so happens that my friends moved in two days ago and were not given friend passes.

Anyway cost me $160 got it maybe 15mins after they picked it up. But i tell ya what, if i car didnt page me.......

 

be glad it wasn't a thief. you parked in someone elses parking spot and they called on you.

it must have taken a while for it to set off. no tilt sensor?

 

what kind of alarm did u have

 

Well in that area if you dont have a visitor pass they tow ya, but yeah i do have a tilt sensor, i was right next to the road and they had my car on those dollies on all 4 wheels.

<b>DcLs what kind of alarm did u have </b>
haha...i changed it.....*hybridcivicls-t*

 

And now a thief will know what alarm they need to bypass when they do try to steal it.

It's not a good idea to post that kind of info on public boards man.

 

not anymore

 

Yeah man you have to watch what you post...but anyways i started reading and i thought you were going to say they were stealing your car...thats cool it wasnt!

 

yea try to becareful what you post.. but yea i was reading and i thought you were gonna say you were being jacked.. but good thing yuo werent

 

thats what i thought!

 

yea, the way you started I thought it was being stolen too. I thought I was gonna read you started running down the street with a bat, lol.

 

Oh believe me, ive spent many of years on here hearing and reading about the horrors of having your car stolen. And have spent the time and alot of money to help slow that (cant ever prevent it) from happening.

Ya'll are true, havent posted in a while should def not put my alarm brand up there. Thanks for taking care of it

 

BTW i would def have ran down the street with a bat, or any other object for that matter, after some SOB if my car was missing. Thank God and knock on wood that hasent happen

 

damn haha good thing it wasn't getting stolen

 

so the car was on dollies or wast tilted hanging by a hook or on a flatbed?
Im lost?

it sounds to me that you payed $160 to get your car back from people that failed to steal it.
Those towing companies are shady....
think about it
$160 to tow it plus storage
or
couple of $$$$K to strip it.

 

It was on dollies.

This area, well where i was, is notorious for towing your vehicle. Close to the college campus and such. They make a ton of money towing people here

 

That is a common way of stealing vehicles. Keep an eye out any time you see a flat bed driving around after 11pm, unless it says "24 hours" somewhere on the truck cab.

 

sounds to me much more than towing, they where stealing it, and you payed them to return it to you...

 

if so, dont think theres much i could have done. There were signs there saying what towing people to call if it was towed.
