lot then removed the cars of unsuspecting drivers.

After making restitution to the people they towed in this scam,about a thousand hours each in a community service program or make them wash all these people cars once a week for a year and don’t let them drive any vehicle for a year or two.before it’s over they wouldn’t even look at a car to tow or drive.
