I live in Ontario Canada. I have never heard of towing vehicles (unless you were sticking out into the highway?) so quickly. Here they ticket you with a warning or just drive by. If they see your vehicle there 24 hours later they ticket or tow.

You should have taken the offer from the tow truck driver to pay the extra 120. See these tow companies are paid by the police to take your car to the impound not to your choice of shops. The reason they cant be flexible is that they see it as bothersome that some people would ask for you to take their vehicle to the other side of town. As well they get paid per vehicle they drop off at the pound. The actual cops know nothing of what the real deals are. They say really stupid things all the time (oh dont worry thats only going to be a few hundred bucks to fix LOL)

It sucks but your not going to get off on this. Now if you had stayed in your car the police would have been oh so happy to help you, calling caa for you etc. they would not have let you stay in the car mind you (-30 is freakin cold, been that cold here for a week!) but you would have had a smiling cop who would not have fucked you over so bad.


Maybe next time a note on the window saying "I am at the coffee shop waiting for the tow truck" might help LOL

Leave your keys in the vehicle? what are they nuts?
