Thursday, May 10,2012 the transmission in my truck went out. I parked in a local strip mall located on cerritos & bloomfield not but 1/2 block from Mr. C's towing. Knowing that it was private parking i went to a local business to ask if it would be alright to park over nite untill i could get a transmission shop to have it towed to. They said it wouldn't be a problem but i should leave a note knowing that Mr.C;s patrol's that parking lot and had come in to her shop ( Grateful Hearts) a thrift store that cottonwood church works with and asked if that was her car parked out there. I did this also contacted the property managment company, and was given permission. Just to make sure i walked down to Mr.c's office and spoke to Matt and he assurd me that it would not be a problem. I arranged to have it towed May 12th to a transmission shop. one more time i called the office of Mr. c's to let know i had permission and not to tow please. I spoke a worker there named Larry or thats what he said his name was he was extreamly rude, and wouldn't answer simple questions and hung up on me saying he was a answering service which was not true he was there disspatcher. Went to pick it up with tow company to transmission shop May 12 and they had towed it saying the security company had called them which wasn't true . talked to the managment company and was told they have no security company. When i went to the office to ask why they towed my truck with all i did to prevent this again this Larry was extreamly rude wouldn't answer me only saying deal with and handing me a bill for $311 in just had a heart attack and can't afford this. The reason I'm writing this is because i understand if i were illegaly parked or blocking someone i'd expect to get towed i wasn't there's plenty of parking. I just think it had everything to do with making a dollar. so sad that a person that did everything not to have his truck towed getting permission making mr. c's aware.
