A recent incident in Petaluma has sparked a heated discussion on social media. A truck owner shared his experience of having his vehicle towed from a parking lot near Volpi’s restaurant on Western Avenue. According to the truck owner, he and several other patrons parked their vehicles in the lot, only to return after dinner to find their vehicles towed. The towing company, Ace Towing, allegedly had a stack of pre-authorized forms from the property owner, which were not predated and partially filled out by the tow truck driver. The truck owner had to pay $675 to release his vehicle and was informed that this predatory towing practice occurs every weekend night. The incident has raised questions about the legality of the towing practice and what recourse the victims have. Read more about the incident here…
