tired of all this welfare – it’s ripe for abuse. should just shut it down and tax people less.

Should be put in prison and kids should be raised by real parents. Defrauding the state is far worse than kidnapping cars…they are stealing money right from your paycheck…while they live in luxury. Jail..jail…jail. For a long time

This is becoming a problem all over America. Why can’t cities put an end to this before people start getting mad and people get killed.

Tow truck companies are all scammers. Get a real job

Sounds like your just trying to cover up all the scandalous things they have done just because you had a positive interaction. They need to be held accountable for their wrong doings. Shame on you for trying to deflect

Fraud? Let’s try California Vehicle Code,: 10851…..vehicle theft!!!

By posting using a fake name it’s quite obvious you are a part af the scam. Quite a feeble effort.

Fiat Lux. Excellent investigative reporting by Ms Zada (Go Cardinals) and Mr. Eskenazi (Go Bear). Thank you for illuminating the exploitation of the vulnerable. I doubt the SF City Attorney would have taken any civil actions if not for the investigative reporting. The SF DA is probably overwhelmed to look into this. Perhaps, the Federal DOJ can help.
The owners of the towing companies and their employees were probably victims of oppression themselves, and sadly, some, if not all, have become oppressors of the vulnerable. Given the audacity of the alleged crimes, I wonder if more serious malfeasance has been committed within the towing organization.

Guess you didn’t read the article huh?

They took my truck I pay the fees and when they release my truck they took my tools and my stereo sistem

I don’t know what you all are talking about but when the security of the property I live on kept taking my cars for no reason these people treated me right and worked with me on giving me my cars back and were prompt with their service.So I know from experience with these people that these people are not that bad and they have good business manners

I’m still waiting for a refund for my 2016 Mitsubishi outlander SEL that caught fire under the hood. The city still hasn’t released my vehicle. 5-23-2023 day of fire. Today’s date … 2024.do the math.

Dude, where is MY Lambo?

I was one of their victims. Glad to see they’re caught.

And also return the all the money they received

Here it is in a nutshell.
Sanctions?
San Quentin.
San Francisco has been a tow scam mafia operation since, most likely, the invention of the tow truck.
And for whoever in City Hall was overseeing this “contract”:
Out the door with no pension and no Cadillac benefits.
Maybe some San Quentin too.
Gotta be a kickback in there somewhere.
Look harder.

I am not religious, but I do believe if Hell exists, it is for people like this.

Bravo to ML and the City Attorney for following the money and staying on top of this.

I wonder why they aren’t also being charged with multiples counts of fraud for all the vehicles they illegally towed 🤔
