I pointed at the car’s tag and chuckled out loud.
“Bet you didn’t get what that mark means — that’s a commercial vehicle registered to our LLC. You had it towed without a court order.”
Her smirk faded instantly.
“So?” she asked, suddenly unsure.
“So… that’s a federal offense. You can’t legally tow a registered business vehicle off private property without going through the proper legal process.”
She blinked.
“Wait… what are you saying?”
I smiled.
“I’m saying the towing company broke the law because of your complaint — and now our attorney is filing a claim. Damages, lost business, wrongful tow… You’re liable. That little grudge? It just cost you $25,000.”
She stood there, mouth open, no words coming out.
We walked back inside. And guess what?
Her car hasn’t moved in days.
