I made a huge mistake and parked in a lot that I shouldn't have. Skyway Towing took my vehicle. When I called I was given a price and was told I had to pay all cash. When I showed up to get my car an employee gave me a different price, higher or course, but he eventually accepted the price I was given on the phone. I gave him my cash and he put it directly in his pocket. There was no pricing information available. It was name your price day. I received no receipt for my cash payment. I wish to file a complaint about the fact this company is taking in cash only and paying no sales tax and I'm sure the same can be said for corporate tax filing. This company gets to keep all their money while the rest of us report our earnings. The best thing that can happen to this company is to losee their right to work , get audited and pay their taxes plus fines. Not to mention they were just nasty.
I parked across the street from a local Popscicle business in Downtown St. Petersburg (central ave & 6th st). I was parked in the spot for maybe 5 minutes. I was getting a treat for my Daughters 15 Birthday and my 2 other children. As we came out of the business with popscicles in hand heading to the car , we saw Skyway Towing pull into the lot. I ran across the street before my car was fully hooked up and tried to plead my case. By then my car was hooked up and he claimed he needed to move out of the lot to clear space even though there was 40-50 empty spots in the lot. The driver Chester said since the car was hooked up its $100 for him to release.
I pleaded my case only in the lot for 5 mins or less and came out before the car was hooked up and moved an inch. He had no sympathy and moved the car from the lot probably to collect the $100 for removing the car. Once we got into the car after paying the $100 we noticed my daughters purse was missing from the back seat. Being that it was her Birthday she had plenty of Bday cash and gift cards in her purse. I hate to point blame but know for fact her purse was in the vehicle as I told her to leave it in the car because we were going to be less the 10 mins. I know they can pop a lock in the matter of minutes. Just saying. We seriously walked in the store ordered paid and walked out. I believe they hide and ambush the moment they see you park. I tried to pay with my credit card but they said cash only.
