Reported cause
It was the only time in 31 years that she didn't do exactly as I advised.
Leading evidence: 'only time in 31 years' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'only time in 31 years' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace $200 bill' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Seeing my baby hooked up behind a rusty, dirty tow-truck, a driver who hadn't changed his T-shirt yet that week, those creeps watching...Oh God, now I'm getting upset.

Against my advice, my wife parked there one time and ran into Starbucks to get a latte.

That's the tool I use when I am trying to find something in our stores.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Okay, I went to Pawn America yesterday to look for a Valentine detector, who knows, huh? So, I pull into the parking lot from the sidestreet entrance and park the P-car by the side of the building. Approximately 12 spaces there, another empty row of spaces and then some spaces and cars next to the doctor's office adjacent to the lot. Maybe, maybe, 4 cars in the area I was parked (did I say that this was at Pawn America?) and felt comfortable taking two spots. Okay, I am a butt, but I wasn't putting out anybody. It was a medium size lot with plenty of spaces. I did see a sign (12 X 18) that said Doctor's office only parking. I went inside, looked, didn't see any radar detectors and waited for someone to ask. Seemed like all of a sudden there was only one rep there, when I thought there were four or five when I walked in. So I waited my turn, no, they only had some old escorts, so I walk out the door. There is my car being towed
I stop the guy....$100 cash, or, he said, I'll take down to the "lot"(?) and it will be $260! Oh, the Pawn America "reps" were out there watching. I pay up, he drops the car....."Ahh, no receipt, pal, Know what I'm sayin'? Unnerstand whad I mean"? Pissed me off! BIG TIME!!!! But, what could I do? He had me by the short hairs. Freakin', Fu*kin'. MOTHER ****N', SOMES A BITCHES, **** SUCKN', FUKRS!!! (rant off)
I know I screwed up, my bad......BUT, 12 to 15 minutes?!! All the reps knowing what was going down and not getting me? (the only guy in the pawn shop with a sport coat on and not wearing athletic shoes) No receipt? Like I said, my bad, but I feel like a cop tazed my drunk sister. Yeah, she may have deserved it, but, ****, it ain't over 'til it's over.........
All over the top, but I am glad that I caught him before my baby went to the "lot". AND, I am glad that I am fortunate enough to have $100+ walking around money.
Any ideas? See whad I'm sayin?
WWPD What Would Phil Do?
Dude, that's does sound like well oiled machine. Did you see any water dripping from the tow truck's pipe (assuming it was gas)? He was probably around the corner of the building, truck sitting cold, eating a hamburger waiting to get called from his buddies that 'another easy $100 showed up'. I wonder how much he'd've asked you for if you were driving a Toyota?
Crummy crum bumms.
was the docs office even open? or after hours/weekend?
i would have sat there a couple spots over and waited for the next guy to park there and told him what happened. and when the tow truck driver gets tired of losing $100 every car you warned, he would give your $$ back to go away. he is probably making $4-500 a day like that, and giving some to the pawn shop.
LOL ^^^^
$100 lesson learned, I would just not do it again...though I like the idea of wasting a lot of time since I have SO much extra time these days
Yeah, Oh Boy....I am the king of passive/aggressive. I am trying to stop. I'd rather just swallow it like an indigestable lump and pour alcohol and food on it. I prolly get hold of the Minnesota Revenue Bureu and tell them. $100 cash/no reciept.....what could possibly be going on that's unlawful? But thanks guys. Seeing my baby hooked up behind a rusty, dirty tow-truck, a driver who hadn't changed his T-shirt yet that week, those creeps watching...Oh God, now I'm getting upset.
Tim says, "in with the GOOD AIR, OUT with the BAD IN with....."
What would I do? First off, Tim's right - park my car in ANY lot?!!? I almost got into a fistfight when a jerk in a Ford F350 nearly hit my door at a Starbucks (several years ago). But, if I saw the sign that said "doctor's office only parking" and I parked there, they wouldn't tow me. No MD plates, but yeah, I'm a doc. I knew it was good for something. And BTW, you got totally hosed, no question. I'd be furious.
While seeking revenge is awfully tempting, it's probably better to let it go and fuggetaboutit. Pawn shops always seem to attact the seedy crowd. Maybe the cheapest lesson learned...
This is why I put our inventory online.

We have 37 locations. The V1 is pretty rare but I picked up my X50 with the blue leds for under $100.
Hah. No sorry. You can delete if that's not allowed. We are only in WA and AZ anyway. That's the tool I use when I am trying to find something in our stores. In this economy it doesn't hurt to find a deal. It can be fun to just go in and browse as you never know what you are going to find. Every store is different. Sounds like Pawn America could treat their customers a little better.
We actually had one of our managers pull this. We had a corporate retreat and several of us carpooled and parked our cars in the store parking lot on a Friday night. The manager didn't get wind of this and the cars were gone when we got back on Sunday night. The parking lot was shared with a Schucks and she thought that the cars were left there from their customers. Amazing she wasn't "let go".
Not just pawn shops. In College Station, TX, there's a Starbucks on University Ave. with a parking lot behind it. Across the street is a church that owns the parking lot. The lot is marked church parking only. Against my advice, my wife parked there one time and ran into Starbucks to get a latte. When she came out, she had to fork over $75 to a tow truck driver who had her car all hitched up and ready to tow. The guy gave her a receipt. I called the chruch admin office later that week and asked if I could put the $75 down as a charitable contribution.
It was the only time in 31 years that she didn't do exactly as I advised. I hope she learned her lesson.
