Oh Jappy! Big hugs to you! You are not alone!

And here I thought Twippy was going to tell the Av8rgirl got her truck stolen story! LOL! I came back from a week's trip and went to the airport parking garage and no truck. The parking garage at our airport is only 3 stories so it's not too hard to lose a vehicle in it. I always park in the same spot (or very close to it) so I just knew that someone had taken my truck.

I walked all 3 floors of the garage. I thought ok, I misremembered where I parked it.

So after about 30 minutes of looking, I went back into the airport and got the cop. He drove around and no truck. He called the parking attendant and they had no record of towing my vehicle so we go over to the office to fill out a report. I am sitting in the office and I look out the window and there's my truck. Parked right in front of the office. I asked the cop how'd my truck get there? He asked the parking guy the same question. He looks at me and says that's your truck? Duh, yeah. They had towed it there the day I parked it in the garage cuz it was parked illegally. So they said. I parked it on the end like I always do but the new attendant felt it was on the line and could pose a problem for vehicles turning the corner.

They had a record of it being towed. I was not a happy camper. It cost me $90 for the towing plus the parking for the week. And they damaged my truck when then towed it...that was on me. Because they knew the vehicle (airline employee) they didn't tow it to the impound lot. That would have meant I would have not been able to get my truck out until the next day and it would have cost me $150 to get the it out of impound plus the towing.

Haven't misremembered where I parked since then...
