I had my car predatorily towed by Tow Time Towing and Recovery on 22 May, I believe in the afternoon. I woke up this morning needing to get to work, and my vehicle was gone. I panicked and assumed it had been stolen only to find it had been towed due to failure to display a parking permit – despite the fact that the parking lot was nearly completely empty, and I was not obstructing any parking. Additionally, I was parked in my parking place, but after driving, I forgot to return my parking pass to the mirror. The pass was removed because it obstructs my view while driving. I have seen that the cap cost in Bloomington for towing is $135 and yet Tow Time has insisted I owe them $170 for the tow. After explaining the situation they said there was nothing to be done. I have since not been able to get to work due to my vehicle being gone so unexpectedly and will have to walk over two miles to the impound lot to pay to retrieve my predatorily impounded vehicle. There were no warnings I was in violation, and this has caused a considerable disruption to my work schedule and put a very significant financial strain on me given the unexpected and, in my opinion, excessive nature of the fine for what was not an illegal action and was little more than a small error in forgetting to re-display my parking pass. I would appreciate any assistance in this moving forward, and I hope by filing this, I can assist in the prevention of predatory impounding like this moving forward.
Please see case #202797. Note comment :"cannot find vehicle or property, need a actual address" by Ms. Cox. Not clear why she has so much trouble with addresses. See attached screenshot of uReport map, and note obvious yellow car on east side of garage. Maybe send someone who is familiar with the town.

The problem is parking on the south side of East Maxwell Drive. Cars are either parking on the street or half on the street and half on the grass. The lack of signage is possibly causing the problem. The North side of Maxwell is clearly marked and with some zone parking. This south side becomes a problem with heavy traffic and the cars are parking on the street. So is it permissible or not? Thank you.
An RV has been parked for several weeks in the same spot of the street next to this empty lot. Traffic at the 4 way view is blocked of any northbound lane traffic on N. Monroe coming from 10th street creating hazardous conditions. Pedestrian traffic for the Boys and Girls Club and the Food Bank nearby have an obstructed view of any oncoming vehicles.
