That’s very interesting. The laws must be very different in Idaho. In Texas, Colorado, and Louisanna, the only states I can immediately confirm, the only person who can have a vehicle towed from a multi-vehicle lot without prior arrangement is a police officer. Restaurants, apartment complexes, etc all have to have prior arrangements with the towing service with all the proper documents on file. In the absence of such an agreement the police need to be called, who’re authorized to verify that the owner/manager is who they say they are and do indeed own or control said property. In the case of an apartment lessee, they’ll verify the lessee’s parking space with the manager.
Since apartments don’t match parking space numbers to apartments for liability reasons..ie finding keys in a car and reading the apartment number off the space, perv coworker reading your apartment number off the space etc,...how is a police officer or tow truck driver in your state supposed to verify that parking spot 317 belongs to apartment 32A?
I’m sure you’re telling me the truth, but it sure doesn’t add up.
