G&G Towing took my car today from a Silver Spring shopping center parking lot while I was patronizing businesses in said shopping center. No reason to tow. Illegal? If not, it should be. But tow companies tow. That's how they make money. The real question: who do they work for? In this case, Securitas, which patrols the lot on behalf of Tower Companies, owner of the Blair Mills shopping center (home to the downtown Silver Spring Giant). I will avoid going to this shopping center from now on.
