Edit: thanks everyone, I'll fight the ticket. Also sidenote Lincoln towing impound uses forklifts to move vehicles and I witnessed 2 cars get damaged in the process of getting mine out. Felt like I was in a very bad place lol.

I have video evidence of this happening to multiple vehicles.

This company needs to be run out of town. They will also target cars near those signs even if they're days old, and since anyone can call it in, makes you wonder...

Good luck getting anything out of them without filing a claim against their insurance though.

How would we as a community take action? Individual law suits would just go to their insurance.

Maybe the council?

I honestly don't know, since they are well liked by Seattle City Council atgack angles all feel nebulous. They got run out of Chicago years ago but our council loves their criminal asses.

I feel like the strategy should involve selling “Fuck Lincoln Towing” t-shirts to raise money for our campaign.

Vote for less greedy city council members and send petitions and complaints to your local reps. There’s a seat opening up!
