We had an incident yesterday where someone decided to park their car under a homeowner’s carport; the homeowner had no idea who this car belonged to or whom they were visiting.
The GPPD got involved and determined the car was not stolen. Since we have a contracted towing company, Allstar, only they can tow from HOA property. Otherwise, the Police were going to have Dave’s Hiway remove the vehicle. After many phone calls to and from the towing company, and a few homeowners, this unauthorized vehicle was removed from the homeowner’s carport by Allstar.
It is suggested that homeowners have a sign indicating they will not allow unauthorized parking on their property, something like this:
It should say something to the effect that towing will be done at “owner’s or operator’s expense”, according to our HOA attorney.
I have something worked out with Allstar now and they have agreed to tow unauthorized vehicles parked on a homeowner’s property ONLY if that homeowner is the person who calls for a tow and signs a tow sheet when Allstar comes to pick up the unauthorized vehicle parked under the carport.
Allstar Towing’s main number is 214-819-3028; after 5 PM it transfers to the dispatch number, 214-374-8697.
