Some Easton's Heritage Day Visitors Ripped-Off

Easton Heritage Day visitors pay the price — high towing fees for parking cars in private lots
By Christina Tatu Contact Reporter Of The Morning Call

"As they listened to Colonial re-enactors read the Declaration of Independence and watched fireworks fill the sky, tow trucks removed 40 vehicles parked at various private properties throughout the downtown, Easton officials said. "

My Comments About The Article AboveYeah that ought get lots of downtown visitors. Some complained their cars were towed while doing business inside as a customer. Others said they were told by some of the businesses they knew nothing about nor authorized towing. This is not to excuse those who wrongly parked. They were fair game.

As for the innocent victims, in my opinion local prosecutors & police bear responsibility to follow up on this. Rogue tow operators should be charged with multiple counts of auto theft if they can't prove they were authorized by property owners to remove these vehicles. If this isn't auto theft, what would be?
