My car got towed!
I went to Oakland with bro, mom, and grandma to eat lunch there. I drove my own car to a street and parked at a metered parking area. There seemed to be a lot of construction going on around that block but I thought it would be fine to park there. So I went to have a nice lunch with my family and walk around Chinatown for a bit to shop for groceries. When i came back about 5 hrs later, my car was GONE! I noticed the meter was gone as well! A group of construction men and a construction zone tape and car have replaced the area where I was parking! Then I went to pick up my car at the place they towed it to. Got there and there was a lot full of cars and saw mine in the first row. So it was my turn, and I noticed the back bumper and trunk cover was completely missing. Weird, the guy who got my car grabbed the parts from my trunk and just replaced it back into place. When it came time to pay, the owner spoke only spanish and didn't really understand english much. He first charged me I think was $800 something dollars. I tried to speak to him calmly to say that must be a mistake, can you please calculate. Then he gives me a higher number $1000 something. I start to get upset at this point and asked for someone else for help. Next, he gives me this outrageous amount $2000 something dollars. I was raving at this point screaming how ridiculous this is and how these numbers are coming up. I'm holding up the line screaming at the top of my lungs how the hell do you run business here! Then the wife comes screaming and I'm like explain please! In. S.F. for just 5 hrs it does not cost that much. I understand Oakland is a different place blablabla. Where are your wall prices charge per hr. Soooo upset I cried because I said I just got laid off, no job, trying to save money and you're trying to rip me off! Then my mom and bro comes up in their red car. She comes out of the car, walks over to take a picture like she's some kind of tourist. I was not in the mood because I was so angry and she has no idea what was going on. Then I woke up! Woke up upset!
