I've watched a fleet of tow trucks circling like vultures in the parking lot of Whole Foods in the evening as people are coming into the downtown area to go to the movies or dinner. It's creepy, watching them circle and knowing later that evening people are going to be in a predicament similar to yours. Good luck fighting the system! I hopeJ.M.

Your towing is an unintended consequence of a zealous towning company trying to make a quick buck. Just like it happened to you, it's happened to others.

You need to talk to Federal Realty. In fact, I would suggest finding how who, at Signature, deals with Federal Realty and have them address the issue. The parking rules are not posted, which is a problem. Here is the link that has contact information. http://www.villageatshirlington.com/Googla Monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726303149334178334noreply@blogger.com
