I remember now, it was sueurbantowing.com Its gone now, but that was the website. It had all of the Virginia tow laws listed. My apartment was on the 3rd floor and overlooked the parking lot where my car was parked. When it was nice out I would sit out on and sometimes would catch him towing cars that had stickers on them. One time it was a minivan and the guy ran out after him. After a bit of haggling the guy took it off the truck. They are fast and sneaky (just like repo men I guess). however one time I spied them looking hard at my car at the parking permit sticker but he moved on. The way they would do it was one would walk around the complex with a flash light looking at the cars for stickers. The other would be sitting in the truck and when they found one, the guy with the light would call the guy in the truck and within a few min it would be gone. I know a few people had their sticker on the front window instead of the back and they would tow them. But if you think about it, the best way to steal a car is to pretend to be the towing company.

yup tow cars all the time, we have seen them break into cars to pull down the e-brake. manager said it was legal..... uhh i do not think so. why would you give someone those kind of rights. Seen plenty of cars drug for miles with e-brakes on damaging tires and other parts. real shitty.

the next night the same guy tried to tow the car again.....called the cops, strapped my side arm to my hip and i went outside.talked with him for a sec, asked him why he was towing the car. he made something up of course, asked me if i intended to shoot him. i said no, this is for my protection in case he tried to do something unlawful to me since he was stealing my car. cops came and i had him arrested for attempted vehicle theft. his tow truck was towed to impound as well..

EDIT: i remember his excuse now.... its because my car had a cover on it..... this is something i made sure to have a conversation with the apt complex manager and the manager at henry's about. i had an arrangement with both the managers that if anyone wanted to loko at my parking sticker. they had permission to lift my cover and look at my winshield.
Fuck Henry's wrecking service. Those guys are a bunch of crooks. They towed my bimmer to their lot after I got in an accident and by the time I got to it the next day someone had already gone through the car and stolen most everything. They took the good wheels, my m3 vader seats/shift knob/steering wheel, ecu, head unit and some other random things I had in the car. After much bullshit back and forth they cut me a check and apologized because go figure, the car was parked in a blind spot that their cameras couldn't see. I'm 99.999% sure that a Henry's employee jacked all my parts.

I also had problems trying to pick up my buddy Cman's m5 from them. Every time I went in they told me I needed some different paperwork to pick it up and they wouldn't even let me look at it. Finally, after a lot of bickering and me threatening to sue them (again) they finally let me look at the car which was untouched, thankfully.

Fuck Henry's.

Good info here, for me atleast. I write contracts for HOA/apartment complexes, so now I know who to steer clear from.

In addition, fuck Henry's.

Do all tow companies in VA have to have video or picture proof of illegal parking before they're allowed to tow or do some just do it in case you protest it?

fuck these assholes. they towed my car from my buddies driveway and locked up my rear rotors while in tow.

after many hours of attempting to get a ride to the tow truck place i finally got there at like 3am. i was so pissed that i signed the receipt. "fuck you"... which caused a whole other fiasco

I think they do that for a little CYA, kind of like the cops do.
