To tow or not to tow.

Never met the guy who owns this truck before, so I don't think I've pissed him off. He won't answer calls from the complex or knocks on the door. So the questions is; to tow or not to tow?

The complex trying to get a hold of the guy as a last ditch resort to placating my rage right now. I don't think the guy is home, I've already knocked several times.

That is a consideration.

yea, you could just roll it out, but still, thats just not cool haha. i'd be pissed too. sadly, i have to have my car at college right now and I hardly drive it. i came out to my car one day, which is always parked alone in the back, and there were two cars parked about 6 inches from my door on BOTH, yes BOTH sides. kids at my school just aren't friendly and are very jealous. Needless to say I almost lost my job as an RA on campus for splitting one kids face open, he hit me first lol (self-defense). and the other kid wrote me a note of apology....i dont think anyone will ever do it again...

so i'd be pissed if i were you too and would certainly ask why they did it.....

Good luck to ya!

Call the non emergency line on the police and give them the tags they will attempt to call the trucks owner and if they dot getahold of him they will come down to have a chat with the jerkoff who did that

I understand why you are upset, but what is the basis for the tow and the confrontation? Is it not parked within the lines? Or is it outside the line and I just can't see it?

I'd be super pissed too but I would think towing it would just piss this guy off BIG TIME and parking close to your car might be the least of your worries. I would just deal with it, or move your car. If it keeps happening, then I would make it an issue.

Worst part is that 4th Gen RS Convertible is totally beat to shit. The thing has literally wood screws holding some panels on.

Someone already tried to vandalize it once and that is the reason I have it in that spot, so I can see it from where my unit is. I actually talked to the guy after I got his phone number from the complex. Apparently he had a "late night" so to speak. He apologized and moved his truck back completely into his spot. I need to get back into owning a house or at the very least living somewhere I have a garage ASAP.
