Security guards kickbacks from towing companies,anywhere from $25 to $75 per car. What has really blown my mind is that Kaiser Permanente guards at their Hollywood facilites have begun getting kickbacks for towing away employee and visitor cars. In kaisers case, the tows are from the INSIDE of the parking lot. The parking lot is not very well marked, signs are few, and for the employees, no memos as to where we can park have been circulated. This is a scam which flies in the face of Kaiser's TV commericals!! All tow companies operate in a very gray area of the law. Here is a link about Bandit tow comapines and your rights if you do wind up getting towed.\r
