St. Louis County, Mo. (KSDK-TV) — Not everyone got a deal at Best Buy Friday morning. Some left the store owing over $300.
At least ten customers at the Best Buy on Lindbergh walked out of the store– only to find their cars were gone. Towed away. The bill will cost them $335. The customers said there was little to no warning that they were illegally parked.
The customers parked in a lot adjacent to Best Buy. It belongs to T-Mobile. When the customers arrived early Friday morning, there were no signs saying T-Mobile customers only. There was only a small sign from a company called Bulldog Towing, warning about abandoned or illegally-parked cars. The sign was upside down.

Posted on November 27, 2010 at 9:58pmMaybe they thought they would get in and out of Best Buy with their hot buys before T-Mobile opened their doors…Hey common sense would tell you not to park in another business’ lot especially on BLACK friday. I bet there wasn‘t one space for the PO’d workers coming in to open the T-Mobile store for business!. Sorry, no sympathy for the greedy or the self-serving.

Posted on November 27, 2010 at 9:10pmi say the sign is too vague & imo, wouldnt be considered constitutional in a court of law.
Report Post »to clarify the sign, there should have been, ‘t-mobile customers only’, all others will be towed.
id say these people could beat this in court. i wonder if they all could be grouped together as 1 case, then it could be thrown out on a technicality.

Posted on November 27, 2010 at 10:02pmWE are the only Country in the World that pays $39+ permonth for Cell Phones. South Korea 7 bucks…all services, no contract. Were in a Corporate profit society….that the rest of the world says no too. We do have the PUC Public Utilities Commission that on one thought would be a consumer based Government ally. But the reality is they are only there to insure that all utilities can stay functional/with a profit…so when they go in and asked for a rate increase….approved. The utilities complain the unions want more money, benefits, retirement. So the utility forgoes investment in their infrastructure and pay wages/retirement benefits. The poor guy driving the post office delivery truck broke down twice in on week…well can’t call him poor. Just the post office did not have money for newer trucks…take a look next time….

Posted on November 28, 2010 at 12:26amYou know, I had an attorney tell me that in AZ it is illegal for someone to hold your “property” for ransom…as strange as that sounds…he said that you can simply refuse to pay the bill and they MUST release your vehicle to you! You are well within your rights to contact the police if they don’t…think he told me that I could find some kind of “legal statement” regarding this on the internet…I forgot about that until just now…might also apply in other states as well…?
