Gen3 Pajero towed for illegal parking

**onewaytrip** · February 7th, 2005 10:58 PM

sorry, no pics... did anyone see this at around 5:45 pm today? some pedestrians even stopped to look. at legazpi street makati, a showroom-shiny black gen3 pajero was being towed with the rear lifted by a short tow truck, and with the front tires on the ground. the front tires were pointed to one direction and steering wheel was locked, so the suv was not moving in a straight line while being towed. i don't know if the tow truck got the suv safely to the pound.

ingat na lang sa pagpaparada. . . parang rescue team ang mga tow truck boys na 'to, ang bibilis kumilos...

I thought tinigil ang towing na yan? Kawawa naman ang... mitsubishi, kasi i-claim ng warranty ng may ari dahil biglang mis align ang paj niya, biro mo, your car being towed to the impound with your tires on an angle.

May nakapark along emerald ave, ortigas na na-tow late last week. humabol pa nga driver sumakay din sa tow truck.

Kung illegally parked .

Mabuti nga sa kanya, ano kala niya porke Paje hindi siya itotow, KUNG MALI MALI.

Pero kung nasa tamang parking zone naman, dapat sagasaan ang mga paa ng lintek na towing company yung mayari at mga tauhan.

Sigurado bang hindi carnapper yung mga tumangay? hehehe.

**pepengtom** · February 8th, 2005 05:11 AM

bawal ba i-tow ang kotse while the driver is on the car? or beside the car? or basta nakikita pa ng may-ari ung kanyang car?
ano po ba mga modus-operandi ng mga tow-truck para mahatak ang sasakyan?
pano ko malaman kung mali ang pag-tow nila?
dagdag kaalaman na naman saken to...

AFAIK, no towing company that tows illegally parked/stalled vehicles has ever followed the correct procedures or used the right equipment in towing vehicles.

The only towing/vehicle transport companies that follow procedure and have the correct equipment are those private companies that usually transport new or exotic vehicles.

Modus Operandi? They will hide the truck and have a lookout waiting for someone to illegally park. Then they will wait for the driver to go away then call in the truck. Or they will suddenly attached their towing devices on you and hold your car hostage until you pay up.

dapat talaga tire lock lang, hirap ng mga pagtow nila di naman nila sasagutin yung damages.

Yung BMW ng pinsan ko na-hostage na din dito sa Sampaloc area. Kaya ba ng lok-bu na tow truck na humatak ng e36 without damaging it? NO!

**ILuvDetailing** · February 8th, 2005 10:48 AM

**luckytruck** · February 8th, 2005 10:49 AM

diba dapat front wheels ang raised? pero kung naka hand brake, patay din.

ire lock na lang nga. this happened to me in la vista before. i went on vacation and parked my car in front of my cousins house sa marymount street, pagbalik ko, naka lock na. bayad na lang ako, at least parang paid parking, safe sya sa loob kasi binabantayan ng guard

Otep don't forget yung kadena sa silya na style ng mga USTe guards.

**quiksie** · February 8th, 2005 11:04 PM

dapat nakasakay ka sa ride mo or nakadikit ka o 1 foot away ka sa kotse mo yun ang sabi sa friend ko nung na tow siya sa makati. Yup modus operandi yun, usually sa mga ministops or any shop na pwede mo bilihan ng sandali. Yun iba may kasama pa pulis. Dun sa friend ko siningil pa sila 1000 just to get the car. Para hindi na daw maimpound.
Yun gsr ko dala ng kuya ko naflattan sa tabi ng corinthians malapit sa edsa. ayun nasira ang paint ng bumper hindi kasi maingat yun nagimpound at nakakainis pa dumating naman kami on time tapos bigla tinaas na yun kotse nung nakita na kami padating

:fire:

**OTEP** · February 10th, 2005 03:19 AM

Yes, and that too. :D

Actually, mas madalas pa din ginagamit ang chair with chain. Kanina lang nalagyan yung kasamahan ko kasi two slots occupied ng Benz niya.

Yung tire lock sa mga sasakyan na hindi mailagay sa mags yung kadena.

Sa mga 4x4 hindi kasya yung tire lock.

**zechs** · February 10th, 2005 10:12 PM

naisip ko dati dyan magdala na lang ng chain cutters?? hahaha para makakaalis ka na kaagad. pero bad yun! hirap talaga ng parking sa USTe.

**totoybato** · February 10th, 2005 10:44 PM
