Sounds unbelievable guy sounds like a jackass. Any state or city that would lock my car up for that many days for that offense I would leave asap. Who knows what they will take away next. Sounds scary there.

Bring a booster pack when it gets paroled and remember, the battery is in the back, passenger side, since it's backed in it may not be easy to boost with another car if there are two vehicles park beside it.

I would bring a second person and a recording device to any future meetings with the impound area.

OK I know I'm new to this forum but I'm assuming there is a back story to this where was the car impounded?

Cliffs:

Guy lives in British Columbia.
Got a ticket and impound for 30 days because of tinted windows and tail lights.
Has 13 days to go before he can get it out.

Now you're caught up.

First....I guess according to YOUR laws you were guilty and they had the right to IMPOUND your car. I would imagine the IMPOUND lot has THEIR rules about what and when you can see or do anything to your car. I would also think a little bit of HONEY goes a long way in that situation. Second...There is no call for ANYONE to be rude to someone else unless they were rude in the first place. Third....Be very careful about men your Father's age....some are in great shape and can still put you over their knee.

Default imo

get a lawyer and contact every tv and news organization -i suspect you'll get a new battery, a full tank of gas, and the guy will be looking for another job.

You are somewhat lucky as impound lots are here make sure they leave your windows open all the time, regardless of the weather. Usually rope off the steering wheel to the out side mirror and bust the mirror. Lots protected and not responsible for any damage.

Those kind of people have no respect for international borders.

I have spent a LOT of time in B.C. (my wife is Canadian).
Love it...cleaner, with less crime.

In fact, it is on my Final Destination list I am considering over the Winter before the house goes up for sale next Spring: Hawaii, Central Oregon, Vancouver Island.

This is a sad story on a number of fronts. BUT I'll tell you what........ I'd be prepared that your car got damaged in the tow and or storage. I dont know who you bring when you when you pick it up but I would pay to have an independent witness who can support you and your review of the car before you drive it away.

Also I would have a recorder hidden on me to record any and all conversations.

The *** has no respect for you and you think he will with your car?

Good luck unfortunatly I think you are going to need it.

Never put a cover on a car that isn't absolutely spotless; you'll scratch the heck out of it. Besides, the car won't melt before you get it back.

Political BS eliminated. There's a place for that and it's not in the C7 sections.
