Tremont Towing is practicing unethical behavior!!!\r
\r
Today on November 4, 2007, my truck got towed from 1600 Alton Rd (by the Dunkin Donuts). My girlfriend and our 4 kids went to Dunkin Donuts, then went to the taco place next door so the kids can go the restroom and place an order to go. Within 10 minutes of them entering the taco place the truck got towed. The towing company stated they knew they had entered the Taco place, The only way they would know this is if they have ""spotters"" ready to call once the vehicle owners leave the premises. I'm a veteran of Iraq and the enemy does the same thing. They pay citizens ( often kids) to monitor the US troop activites, this is how they know immediately what we are doing...sound familiar? As soon as I pulled up to the parking lot (around 4:00pm) I could spot the visual observers and my girlfriend noticed that the same kid (teenager) had been sitting at the same spot earlier. Coincidence? I think not.\r

Tremont Towing claims that it is the local businesses/owners who called the towing company. However, after I spoke to every business manager/ employee present they all stated "" We are to busy for that. No, we did not call. The towing company has people who keep an eye on the parking lot so they tow people on the drop of a dime.""\r

A couple of questions automatically enter my mind:\r
\r
1. As US citizens should we be allowed to be tracked by a business, so they can tow your vehicle and make a quick $175 dollars?\r
\r
2. As a business, is Tremont Towing so concerned about ""making a buck"" that they rely on such an unethical behavior in order to tow vehicles ( within minutes of you leaving the vehicle) from a parking lot with empty spots available? \r
\r
3. Are we going to sit back and let them get away with this unethical behavior? \r
\r
The intent of designated tow-away zones is to keep traffic and vehicle clutter away from our city, not for companies to make a quick buck.
