- The plaintiff claims the defendant illegally towed his vehicle, and he's suing for the value of the car. The defendant says he was called by the plaintiff's leasing office because the vehicle was parked in someone else's spot. Unfortunately, the car was sent to auction because the plaintiff didn't pay the fee to get it out, but that's not the defendant's fault.

#PeoplesCourt #RealityTV #Court
I get why the vehicle was towed, but I do feel bad for the vehicle owner. If you are broke and don't have 500, you aren't going to have 600 the next day or 700 the day after.
True. It was easily avoided
Yeah and idk why management didn’t tell him to move the vehicle before calling to get it towed
@@riggamorrischanthey probably didn’t know who’s car since he said he just got it
Most apartments have signs or an addendum in the lease about getting towed if there’s assigned parking. Based on his inability to take accountability, I bet there were signs posted
My apartment complex places a pink slip on a car illegally parked, giving the owner notice in such and such days before towing.
I know the plaintiff was in a wrong parking spot, but dang, I feel so bad for him 😔
That’s sad to lose ur car bc u parked in the wrong spot. His apartment complex is viscous!!
It may suck but he has to follow the rules
Also, if they had the license plate since he is a resident, they should have reached out to him. That is what happens in my complex. They have our plate numbers.
How?!
He parked where he wasn't supposed to .... How did you miss the word "ILLEGALLY"; JM was using it on repeat.
@@VladmirPoopNit’s not illegally as it’s not a law. It’s just against the rules and policy.
The apartment should know who’s car it is by the permit. Courtesy, they could notify the tenant as easy as calling a tow.
I agree, I find it very petty...to know that's your tenant and he's using a parking spot of an *empty* unit. Noone else is using it so wtf is the problem, I think it's just greed and drama seeking~
The apartment manager shouldn’t have to call you…. If you’re not assigned to a specific spot (don’t park there).
@@elainevankat5353ty
The tenant knows that that is not their spot, they should know not to park there and not expect someone else to be responsible for you and hold your grown hand.
So if I park in a handicap spot that no one is using, I should be notified before a tow.
He says only 🤦🏼♀️ "the first day is only $370, for the tow" only? ONLY?!?! That's an entire paycheck for some. This economy sucks 🐓!
$500 is a lot for 2/3 days towing, smh
It’s the storage fees that get the price up there only cuz tow yards make their money off of accidents and storing the totaled vehicles and the insurance are usually the ones who pay through bill so they do jack the prices up
I'm thinking, "I'm in the wrong line of work." But, I couldn't take advantage of ppl like that.
@@Ampacityelectric did you watch the case? He said he parked there precisely because he knew it was a vacant apartment and nobody was living in that unit
I was towed at $500 for a few hours.....its all a scam smh
EXACTLY! $65/day = $130, so the tow was $370? It sounds like they were making it so expensive that he wouldn’t be able to get his car back.
He said only $375 for the first day and 10-15 ppl a month who can't afford to get their car back. The guilt would kill me. SMH
This case was sad. The plaintiff was in the wrong but he was so soft spoken and seemed like a genuinely good person.
This is upsetting. He literally lives there. Shame on the complex. He literally parked in a parking spot
He literally parked in someone else's parking spot.
@@DonziGT230that no longer lived there.
And there is literally guest parking that he could have utilized and not caused this debacle !
, Yes, the tenant moved out, but that doesn't change the rules for him to park in the spot. Maybe the apartment had been rented out to a new tenant that he wasn't aware of. Apartment buildings have parking rules for a reason, it's like JM said. If you can't afford to pay the consequences, don't break the rules. Parking is a big deal in some places, and if he had to park in the street, possibly blocks away because someone was in his spot, he'd have done the same thing. He didn't think the rules applied to him.
@@susiesolangesimpson2828a space that is not his regardless of if someone is renting that place with the spot.
He knew it was wrong and did it anyway.
If they don’t enforce these rules then people will park in other people’s spots. Which they aren’t supposed to do for a reason.
Lol the defendants know they don’t feel sorry. Tow companies love when situations like this happens because when people can’t afford to pay to get their car back, they get to keep the car and make extra cash by selling the vehicle or auctioning it for parts. It’s their job and they love it.
But I have to admit, $500 is a lot for 2 days only.
I'm surprised no one has ever tried to swing on Doug 😂
Doug is undefeated
Ikr smh!! His mouth is crazy!!😂😂😂😂
He’s too elderly 😂
Elderly and in a courthouse lol
😂😂 thankfully there is a camera right on them and a bunch of staff off-camera watching. Too many witnesses 😂
I don't know about a leasing office being open Saturday and Sunday
I think this is outrageous because no one else was utilizing that spot !!! RIDICULOUS GIVE SOMEONE A BREAK SOMETIMES!!
This is the same argument squatters use lol
I do feel bad for the plaintiff
Judge: That's not your spot
The plaintiff: Righhtt......
😂
These towing companies are total scammers. Yeah i get it but $65/day? R u kidding? What planet are they living on?
Why not just make a deal with him and let him go... How does it benefit you to keep the car?
Because then they can auction it/
Keep it
Because the tow company has to follow the rules and law as well . Plaintiff had opportunity to make restitution , but instead he tried to get out of the problem he caused. Don’t like their practices don’t park illegally !
What deal would you suggest? The guy didn't have the money. If they released the car without being paid in full, odds are, they'd never see the remaining money owed.
If they held the car until paid in full, they are still storing it for extra days, which equals more money owed.
If they don't charge this man for storage, they'd have to accommodate everyone who wanted storage fees waived. They have a business to run. They have to go through tons of paperwork to sell a car that they towed. They sold it for $1,000. That's hardly worth the trouble they went through.
What a petty apartment.2 days in a spot that no one is using.
It's not petty at all. It's maintaining order. What if they had a potential tenant coming to look at the apartment and they couldn't park because this guy was taking up the space? This is one of those give an inch and they take a mile situations.
@@tunisiancrochetchannel Then they would park in visitor parking. Until that lease is signed, it isn't theirs either. Bet that office isn't even open on Sunday. So now it's one day petty.
@@0LadyV0 That would look bad to a potential tenant. That's starting them off making them think they're going to have issues with their parking space. If there is visitor parking, the man was being petty selfish not using it and parking in another apartment's spot instead. This is completely his own fault! And he had the nerve to leave it there all weekend. Interesting that anyone would defend his wrong action.
@@tunisiancrochetchannel That's ridiculous. Some places get shown, while the last tenant is still there.
@@0LadyV0 It's so easy not to get towed. Don't park where you're not supposed to and you'll never have a problem. Easy! 😀
how couldnt he set up a payment plan with these crooks. this practice hurts the poor.
Wow they basically steal 10 to 15 cars a month smh
Learn how to park and read signage!
They don't "basically steal" shit. Follow the rules/laws just like eeeveryyybodyyyy else, and your car won't get towed.
You realize businesses contract with towing companies and call them to remove the vehicle? So how are they "basically" stealing? Someone calls them for a service. They perform said service, they deserve to be paid. If it isn't paid, they have to sell the car. If people can't afford the tow & storage fees, they need to watch where they park at.
This guy knew that exactly what he was doing was against the rules. He just didn't think he got caught. The leasing office caught it, called for a tow. The guy shows up days later and didn't have the money. They held the car for as long as they legally have to. He could've paid to get it out. He didn't.
The tow company didn't steal this man's car.
This is a sad case!!!😢
A little compassion goes a long way. The apartment complex should have started with a warning to the plaintiff. A phone call a text. Something on the windshield. Anything. That’s your tenant. Not a stranger.
The tow company: take the $300 and move on. Good karma is a thing.
They're running a business. I literally just got my car towed From my apartment complex. We had all been parking wherever we wanted for ever. And as soon as a new tenant came in, he fucked up the whole system but at the end of the day I was parked in a spot that was not mine in. It cost me $730. Because my apartment complex doesn't give you notice. And they don't even have it posted what tow lot they take it to. And I'm literally on disability $600 a month. Still had to pay it still. My fault still can't blame anybody else.
The plaintiff was totally in the wrong, but I feel so bad for the guy. There are so many people out here living on the margins. 😞 I hope at least he has a good weekend with his friend 🤷🏽♀️💚
That tow company is LITERALLY RIPPING PEOPLE OFF!! Period. Either way it’s the plaintiffs fault.
I hate those greedy towing companies.
I also hate people who park illegally and then cry when they get a ticket and/or towed and refuse to take responsibility
@@elizabeth95826He wasn’t parked illegally, but in a reserved parking spot that wasn’t his. The management of the apartment complex could’ve been more reasonable and told him to move his car before calling a towing company.
@@riggamorrischan he may not have been illegally parked in this case (I was talking in general) but he KNEW HE COULDN'T PARK THERE. Maybe they stickered his car. He didn't check his car until Monday. However, it doesn't matter. He wasn't allowed to park there. All he had to do was talk to management to get a guest parking spot but he didn't want to. So why should they go out of their way but he can't even do the bare minimum?
@@riggamorrischan so the apartments could have been more reasonable but he couldn't even bother to get a guest parking spot. I bet anything when he signed his lease, he signed something about the parking. That was his warning
why was the towing co. "Greedy". you are so WOKE.
The plaintiff really thought he had a case. 😂😂
We hate tow truck drivers until they get your keys out of a locked car 🤣
Nah, only people who hate tow truck drivers are people like the plantiff that wants to do something illegal.
$375 that’s insane
Right!! I was getting towed once and realized it before they even had my car all the way on the truck and I still had to pay $80 for them to get it off
Exactly! I think they’re overcharging making it so expensive that people cannot afford to get their vehicles back.
I don’t get why the office couldn’t have just called the plaintiff or sent a letter first instead of jumping straight to getting it towed. Poor guy.
Well, I'm only speaking for my apartment complex. But we don't even have a property manager on-site. But 2 days a week n basically, they just don't give a shit. My building doesn't even take a security deposit which is mine blowing and itself. But I think it's because they just keep expecting to flip Em. As soon as you default on your rent, they're quick to evict u and quick to move someone else in.
Or…..he could have followed the rules and not parked in someone else’s spot. Not everything is someone else’s responsibility.
This makes me sad
To think they wouldn’t negotiate with the plaintiff on $200 and would rather take an $1800 loss is a little cruel
Plaintiff looks like his face should be on the front of a hot sauce bottle playing the guitar lol
😂
You can't just park where you want.
Thank you!!! (people who do this are the worst kind of people!)
This case is the epitome of what's wrong with the United States right now.
Even though I did something wrong and I know I did something wrong, I deserve to be compensated anyway. 😂😂😂😂😂
Unreal.
$65 a day storage is crazy
100 here. I just went through this but got my car out before that
I had this happen to friend when he was in the Hospital.
"Snow removal"
I live in Maine him so NH they got like nothing
They want you to take the car, if $65 a day won’t do it nothing will.
@@johnsradios484
The friend I mentioned?
Over $450 for a quarter of a mile tow
This man is in his own little world. He admitted to being wrong, he KNOWS he’s wrong but still making excuses
I understand the tow but their fees should be criminal. Its ridiculous how much they charge even if it's "stored" for 1 day because they're closed. $370 for a tow is just not okay.
I'm sinking into a deep depression and I'm going to eat gummy worms. I can't find AdrianKnight's response condemning Judge Milian to hell for ruling against the black litigant. The day is a waste unless Adrian whines. Woe is me. I am undone! Adrian, oh Adrian, thou must whine, or all is lost!
😂😂 he's been whining up a storm on the other videos posted today - the usual nonsense that he always spews out.
@@Gandrewjm Thank you. I feel better.
I love that he tried. He reminds me of Mario and Luigi 😂. So sad wish there was a loop hole for him
The plaintiff is trying to get over. Lol 😂
Defendant proved authority but a little bit of empathy will be better.
This is sad
He deserved the tow sure, but the issue of having your means of transportation and the ability to work held hostage is a serious problem! It's ludicrous to hear 65 dollars a day!!
Plaintiff reminds me of super Mario 😂
😂😂😂
Letsa toooowwwwwww!!!
Wario
WAHOOO! 🍄
STOP IT!!!! 😂
No he doesn't feel bad.
The youngest allegedly gets special treatment because the others have beat the parents into submissions
😂😂 I laughed way too hard at this. I'm the youngest NI absolutely got away with more than my sister ever could.
The plaintiff can’t be serious. How has he not learned how to park legally ??
As long as no one was in need of that spot, I probably would have let it go for as long as a week with a warning on his window to move it immediately.
I probably wouldn't tow a car immediately unless a tenant needed that spot.
Ouch, quite a lesson to be learned...
Sooooo, his guest's car wasn't towed for being in an unauthorized parking spot? It's way easier for the lazy office staff to TEXT the tow truck than investigate and give the resident a chance to move his vehicle.
Most leasing offices aren't open on the weekends 😕
All leasing offices are open during the weekend!🤷♀
@elainevankat5353 no they're not. Most are closed on the weekend, only emergency calls.
The defendant could've been more compassionate.
I totally felt that entire discussion between JM and her husband. All of it😂
Plaintiff was SO WRONG but then at the end when he’s in the hall, dejected, I still felt so bad.
I get that the apt building office wasnt open to register his guest but hed know that why didnt he go down on friday before guest arrived and get permission to park his own car in guest parking then he wouldnt have been towed.
The plaintiff should’ve asked why the bill was $500 after only two days. If it’s $65/day for storage that accounts for $130, the tow was $370?? That sounds like they were overcharging him to make it where he wasn’t able to get his car back.
The apartment complex knew that was his car they could of told him to move his car
Isn’t that Giuerremo from the Jimmy Kimmel show? Jimmy get him a car 🚗
Just 1 more reason to not live in an apartment complex 🤦🏼♀️
The youngest child gets EVERYTHING because your tired by then 🤣
And he still doesn’t see that he’s in the wrong here, yet he’s an adult. A shame truly
Girl in the world we live in people need to be more reasonable, y’all are heartless and weird
I dont know how tow companies sleep at night.
I would never work for two company they have Ice water for Blood.
I would not live in that apartment complex smh
Some people have no choice.
They were busy from Friday to Monday! Go head on… 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
He did not come outside for three days!!! He was having a great time!
😂😂😂 same thing i said
😂🤣 Right
$1000?? I'm sure they didn't sell it for 1000.
He’s got the mind of a child.
These apartment complex relationships with tow companies are so predatory it's disgusting
He went Monday… they could’ve been nice humans and let it go for $300 🙄
That's terrible shame on them but karma smh..
"The only people that should be parking illegally are the people that can afford the tow and fines". A different version of "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time"
I feel so bad for him😢
Even IF the tow was incorrect, the plaintiff sued the wrong people. The tow company was just doing their job - it was the appt. manager that made the decision to tow the car.
Apartment manager has every right to call for tow…. If someone is parked in a spot where they shouldn’t be!
And it was his decision to knowingly park in a spot that was not his.
Entitlement mentality
The first day is only 370!!! What why so much? A tow can be 75 to 150 but some states is more, depending on how far and 25 a day storage. Heck, no, they charge 65 a damn day, highway robbery for people like this man who can only afford 300, even if he made it the first day he still would not have afforded it.
I live in Missouri and there's an apartment complex. That's really close to a Starbucks. The Starbucks has like 6 parking spots and the apartment complex has hundreds. But they watch out the windows and wait for people to park in their parking spots and then call a tow truck. If you catch the tow truck before they drive off. You can pay $200 to have them drop it right then if they take it to the tow, what it's 350. I also recently got towed out of my apartment complex. Took me 6 days to figure out where it was, and it caused $730 to get it back. I swear if you can afford a tow truck. It's the best business to get into.😂
When JM said his profession is one of the most hated..he replied SO quick and said no it’s the guy who’s selling “plots” -graveyard plots. Dang.
I feel for the plaintiff. One time my car for towed at my apartment complex and so did a lot of other cars because our office manager didn’t tell us they were changing our parking stickers. I was soo mad I had to come out of over $200 and I actually live there smh. I tried to reason w/ my office and they wasn’t going. I was pissed because I showed proof that I never got their email and they didn’t care. For this exact reason I’m going to try to move.
This guy should be embarrassed to actually bring this to court. He was wrong in every way.
One word. DUH!
The JUDGE IS WRONG is this case
I think Milian's statement was obtuse. She suggested that people with money are entitled to break the law and inconvenience others, because they can afford it. Shameful attitude. "The only people who 'should' be parking illegally are people who can afford the tow." Sorry Judge, no one should be parking illegally.
That’s robbery. He lives there.
Man i Feel bad for plaintiff
That’s why tow companies suck they couldn’t have tried to work some type of deal.
They really should have just gave him a warning. This is ridiculous. Taking advantage of people
What is wrong with people!? Dude you park in a parking spot that you do not suppose to park in and got the nerve to sue when you get towed. Common sense is out the window!
He seems a little slow maybe? Not to be mean but he’s not a person who understands this situation in my opinion. It’s a shame
This happened when new management started at my apartment there are no assigned parking but they made up nonsense reasons to the tow people’s it’s a shake down a scam!
Even if they put a note on his car he didn't see his car again from Friday to Monday. He's wrong 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah this case was a no brainer....
Anybody else thinking about buying a tow truck and a lot? $375 for the first day is crazy.
How did he not notice his car missing untill Mon.?
Reserved means reserved. Parking spaces are not free even if they are empty.
This case was much longer than it should have been.
I mean he supposedly was parked illegally but one should reference what the policy is in the lease about guest parking. I highly doubt it says anything about parking in a vacant apartments designsted place. Either way just way to many average Joes grasping at straws for power (HOA and Apartment Complex Management)
Guaranteed it was a boomer who called from Management.
I can’t stand the guy at the end. He rubs it in their faces that they lost
A lot of the times maintenance will park their work vehicles in empty spaces to work on the apartment tied to the empty space. If someone needed to park there to work on the apartment and couldn't then it would make sense why he was towed.
I feel it's a towing racket to not register by plate instead of parking spot. Then to tow on a Friday stay closed all weekend but charge $65 for all three days...
I struggle to feel bad for him because he so freely admits he knew he was wrong and yet still feels entitled to not be in the situation he caused. Though the pricing structure of this tow company should be illegal. It feels more like extortion than a “storage fee” at that price. You can rent a storage place for a month for significantly cheaper than that. Still don’t feel bad for the guy though.
These situations are sort of like legalized extortion. They knew who owned the vehicle and could have contacted him. But that's not the point. The whole situation is designed for the tow company and the property owners to rake in profits. It's designed to allow the tow company to hold your vehicle for ransom. In many of these situations...(maybe not this one) I suspect that the property owners get a cut as well. It is a part of the tow industry that isn't regulated enough.
There should be laws that would put a cap on storage fees and fees to release a vehicle. Property owners should also be required to either contact the owner if they are able, or post a 24hr or 48hr warning on the vehicle unless it is in a firelane, blocking traffic or it is in a handicap space.
Why is it "very costly" to run that business? I don’t see it! And they are the most hated
Gas on a tow trucks is a couple hundred for every tank, Plus the maintenance on the truck, You're all so paying for a location. Which means electricity water cable WI. Fi all of the things.. employees, it all adds up.
They are the most hated but if I had a bunch of money. I guarantee you I would buy a tow truck lbvs.. You get in good with one business. They call you for every tow. You give them a little kick back. Everybody wins except for the drivers of the cars... I've been towed several times but that doesn't mean that I can't see it would be a profitable business
Genius
