Anyone who gets towed for parking irresponsibly is understandibly upset.
These tows are contracted out and half the time called in by your association and are monitored by the Illinois Commerce Commission Police. Every association and the ICC has its own rules that the tow company must abide by at risk of losing their contract license.
So being angry at the tow company is being uninformed.
If you and your friend were that upset and actually had any grounds to "sue" as you put it you would have actually done your homework and any tow company would have been investigated if they wronged you.
Now to the gentleman that waited to long for a release. Lets go to the source, if the car wasn't in a position to be towed you wouldnt have had to wait for the driver to come release the car. As for his demeanor when you asked for help, sure that leaves something to be desired.
Finally for the person who thought that $75 for 3 blocks was too much. Towing is a business, not a charity event. I am sure the $75 was a hook up fee with no mileage which would be common practice in the towing industry for a tow that short. Call around next time and the guy that tows it for $50 flat is going to tow it incorrectly and tear up your car.
