IHOP 950 E Madison St Seattle, WA 98122 Manager: Donald Plate: 808zxi Rip off, illegal towing, lieing, cheating, stealing, damaging my property, racism, thieving IHOP 950 E Madison St Seattle, WA 98122, Washington
Illegaly having my vehicle towed while patronizing the establishment of IHOP 950 E Madison St Seattle, WA 98122, under the 24 hour limit as per RCW.55.070 section B subsection iii "On private, nonresidential property, not posted . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 hours" as seen here. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=46.55.010
Then treating me extremely badly and with malicious and racist intent to intimidate me from filing a small claims action against him, his restaurant and any and all participants. The parking lots signs do not notify that any and all other participants in the parking lot will be towed if not immediately patronizing the establishment. The sign reads and states "For ihop customers while eating at ihop" which is an invitational sign to allow customers to know they may park there and is not a legal notice informing others of being towed. In fact there are no signs denoting that anyone will be towed accept the tow company signs who are separate from the actual law regarding who and what and when will be towed. Again as seen here above in the quote on the exact RCW.
Because there is no proper denotation of when I or any other individual will be towed the owner, manager or individual signing the tow authorization form who is in control of the property is liable for my "costs incurred by the vehicle owner.", being myself. "A person authorizing this impound, if the impound is found in violation of chapter 46.55 RCW, may be held liable for the costs incurred by the vehicle owner." Recorded here 46.55.080 and noted here http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=46.55.080 .
BECAUSE THERE IS NO NOTIFICATION THAT ANYONE WILL BE TOWED FOR PARKING THERE ACCEPT CUSTOMERS AND THAT THE TOWING WILL BE IMMEDIATE THEN THIS FALLS UNDER THE UNPOSTED 24 HOUR RULE, THEREFORE THE PERSON WHO SIGNED THE TOW AUTHORIZATION FORM IS NOW LIABLE FOR, $440.73 + $82.50 COURT FILLING FEES + 25$ x4 PER HOUR FOR MY LOST WAGES OF 4 HOURS, MY COST OF GASOLINE AT 3.45 CENTS PER GALLON FOR 5 GALLONS TOTAL AND ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED AND PROVABLE.
Grand Total I am owed $643.23

The law specifically states that you cannot tow a vehicle unless correctly posted of immediacy. So in fact you are in direct violation of the law. You are then so responsible for all costs incurred by myself. Again the total is above for you. Now also by the law, I have 6 years to file my claim.
The towing signs are separate, those signs only denote the ability of the tow company itself and not the property owner nor the establishment itself. Your signs must state the time in which someone will be towed and the reason for them being towed.
I am correct. So, for the next six years, the ball is in my court. So if you wish to be fair and contrite with me. Then you can send me an email denoting that you are ready to pay all tow fees incurred by myself.

You admit in your post that you parked on the property and left. They towed you away because your vehicle was trespassing on private property. I love how you try to pull the race card. Race has nothing to do with it. Its your ignorant mentality is at fault, not the business management, not the property owner, or the towing firm. ITS YOUR FAULT!, No if's , and's, or but's.
