Aggressive Tow Truck Operator Waits to Pounce in McDonald’s Parking Lot 

Damn, a tow truck is faster, then McDonald’s service time...

If a tow operator in NY tells you that the drop fee is $217, tell him you'll call the cops if he doesn't charge the state-mandated drop fee of $62.50.

The fact dude could just chill in a McDonald’s all day spotting cars tells you that the McDonald’s management is in on it. They’re all splitting up the money 💰

That manager was getting a kickback for every car towed, only explanation.

They lost their license for Illegal tows , they towed Mc Donalds customers as well. Looks good on them.

"...no longer using that tow truck operator.." Yeah, they found a new company that's even faster!

this happened to my friend’s mother car. so since I was staying over at my friends house, her mother decided that we could get KFC for dinner. When we arrived we parked we and headed inside to order. and not even 5 minutes later, a tow truck was taking my friend’s mothers car away. she ran up to the driver and told him to stop but he assaulted her by palming her face almost giving her a broken nose and tried to drive off but thank god someone called the cops and he got arrested for physical abuse.

My brother is an entrepreneur and when he was starting a new company he considered towing but he changed his mind because he couldn’t stand the fact that he would make a living off of causing other people misery and the only encounters he would have with his clients is being hated on. I think this is pretty disgusting tbh.

Update: many 1 star complaints and now they're permanently closed for illegal towing. City towed their business out of town.

That spotter is definitely getting cash for doing what he's doing, seeing as how fast he does it and the fact that tow truck driver charged $217 when the state mandated cost is $65.50

My friend just got his car towed today, and we had to pay about $500 to get it back, which was ridiculous!

Had a dumbass try to tow my emergency vehicle thats allowed to park on the fire lane. The urge to just unalive him was real.

The dude who was driving the white Jeep and got off was a damn legend, his Jeep's suspension is strong

The sign literally says if you’re not a customer and leave the parking lot you will be towed? How is this unfair? If this wasn’t regulated then customers wouldn’t be able to park.

Used to park my car in a huge empty parking lot for about a year when there was no parking anywhere around my apartment which happened very often. One day I realized my car was gone and thought it was stolen, found out there was a single small hidden sign all across the lot which said no vehicles allowed overnight. Got my car back after paying $400 fine.

For anyone trying to defend these guys also know they towed people who parked their car and went inside the McDonald's I hope the manager and the spotter receive life in prison

imagine having a job where you pretty much snitch 24/7😂

“McDonalds is no longer using that tow truck operator “. So the guy changed the name of his company and the manager is still getting a kickback for turning a blind eye to the spotter loitering in his restaurant

Have a fellow military buddy who was working a servailance operation in a blacked out helmet top HUMMVE when a tow truck operator pulled up and hooked the truck, upon trying to lift it his hydraulic pump started to fail from the excessive weight. My friend started the vehicle placed it in to low mode and gunned the vehicle. This resulted in the HUMMVE. Rocketing off of the lift, bending the boom and rupturing the hydraulic cylinder of the tow truck. The MP in charge was called in to the incident and quickly responded to the scene. Least to say the whole incident was caught on video and unfortunately for the tow truck driver was read the riot act for interfering with a military investigation and was made to pay for damages to the HUMMVE. They billed him for a NEW airlift bumper full price to the military, not surplus price. He got off very lucky…..

I liked the part when they did exactly what the sign said not to do and they were all confused and unhappy when they saw their cars getting towed.

If there is a sign and you park there then you can't complain about how quick they towed the car, you shouldn't have parked there period.

But what the tow truck operator, the company and the McDonald's doesn't know is that Inside Edition is around the corner and they're ready to pounce whenever some call is needed.

I’ve seen this guy in action and he should be arrested and his license revoked.

the lady that said “CALL THE POLICE CALL THE POLICE” made me die lol

Lisa breaks into house Cops show up Lisa: "is it fair to arrest me within minutes of breaking in?"

I wish McDonald's was this speedy with their food..

Such a violent tow truck driver

There is no doubt the tow company is operating in a predatory manner, however in all fairness the sign is really clear.

No. The lesson is read the sign and follow the rules

Lisa: *Reads gigantic sign telling her not to park and leave or she will be towed*. Car: *Gets towed*. Lisa: 🤔

Rules say no parking, how difficult is that to follow?

To be fair, if I were running a business, and people were leaving their cars at my business while they went somewhere else, I would have them towed too.

This is like saying “you have to wait 10 minutes to arrest somebody after they commit a crime”

"Spotters" get paid under the table for "tips", so of course he's going to run away like a coward.

I feel as though if you’re parking in the wrong spot you deserve to get towed for it. There is no excuse as to why you can’t park in the right spot for where you’re going

That manger gets a kick back .

Imagine being so devoid of skills you have to run a predatory operation.

Wow Inside edition! Who would have guessed that you could get towed for doing what the sign says you'll get towed for... I'm shocked.

I dont understand how its ok to park in another business parking lot.

Poor Matt and Katy. True journalism.

"it's unethical, it's unfair..." Yes it is both of these things AND technically legal, the sign specially says "for any length of time", however with the McDonald's employee spotting on what looks like a near constant makes me believe this is a planned relationship between the restaurant and the towing company

How is it unfair , there's literally signs every where

I'm from a small town, I visited D.C. to visit a friend who lived in a apt complex. I witnessed a tow truck company TERRORIZING the car owners for ANY INFRACTION. The most ridiculous....NOT PARKED STRAIGHT ENOUGH within the yellow lines! Can't make this up.

Sounds like the employee is making side money, they should be fully investigated

That Mcdonald's guy is getting paid off somehow.

It's his job but for that time frame, It's not fair. That guy and his spy sure makes quite a lot of commissions here.

I live in new york city and i could tell you that people abuse private location parking lot for their benefit to avoid paying meters. also street parking in new york is almost impossible.

That tow truck driver is having more fun than someone should be allowed to have😂

What’s unfair about it if the sign says it...

Lisa is that type of kid at school to remind the teacher about homework

Ah yes but the signs says no parking if your not a customer In a busy city with limited parking its easy to say let’s park at McDonald’s

Over charged. But that’s his pvt company pvt rates. He’s got a job to do. So he does it. Fair play to him.

You break the rules on purpose and then confront the guy who is simply doing his job, ridiculous!

Actually 217 $ is nothing for a tow truck driver they can charge up to 330 $. Second what the? IT IS FAIR! McDonald’s tows people who DO NOT go to their store because they want customers. It isn’t a free parking place.

Simple way to avoid this, don’t park in a McDonald’s parking lot if you’re not going to McDonald’s. 🤡

It's shameful that he can still work in this company and in this kind of job after hitting a motorist. It is a good indicator of the mentality of his employer

he’s literally doing his job. you obviously broke the law that was in the sign lol

Lesson Number One: *Never tow Lisa Guerrero's car*

Inside edition always finds a veteran of everything

How in the hell does he know if they going to the store next door then going to McDonald's after

Person: Illegally parks in private parking. Tow Truck Driver: Tows car Person: 😧 Come on people... use some common sense...

lmao ok lisa 😂 get mad at the man doing his job 🤣🚫

If this ever happens to anybody, and you see it, just jump in your car and call the cops. Happened to me before, cops came and forced them to release my car. Best day of my life😂

That creep Manager from Mcdonalds needs to be fired.

He doing his job, plus who the flip snitched

Lisa: when we tried to talk to the Manager Let’s the door shut Lisa: he shut the door on us

How about.... just don't park in a place you aren't meant to?

Well now it’s time to teach the tow truck operator, spotter, and the manager from McDonald’s a lesson, let them know that there is a group of people going around flattening tires, breaking windows and damaging cars for no reason, and you hope that they don’t get their vehicles too. They will get the hint real soon!

Lisa: Parks where she isn't supposed to Lisa's car: gets towed Lisa: OoO

Don't park if you aren't eating there.

That McDonald’s manager must be in on it and getting kickbacks.

That's good, rhat franchise no longer uses that tow company. It's bad for business. It makes it look like corruption.

"Their holding our car hostage " lmfao 😂😂😂😂

Blantently walking off the property IS reason to tow. Towing while the customer is still in the McDonalds is NOT right. That was the reason this location got in trouble in the first place.

So friends: Moral of the story, find the spotters.

Simple solution here take Macdonalds court and make it very public, plus sue the towing company for auto theft.

When ur mom waits for u to say sum under ur breath

When I see signs like that I just avoid the business even if I was planning to go there. But thanks for letting us know about spotters. I will always keep an eye out for them now.

Don’t park in their parking lot, it’s that simple !

I like how when this video first came out everyone was on their side and now everyone is against them.

"If you're not inside Mcdonalds; you have to leave" My life is now complete

Let's park at inside editions headquarters parking lot and go to another building or store. See how they react?

I like how you can see the guy in the window like. "Ya.... another one has fallen into my trap."

It’s fair, there is a sign and a warning posted that clearly said any length of time, he’s just hustlin

is nobody talking about how lisa said ' cAr aFtEr cAr aFtEr cAr' 1:39

FACT: The manager of McDonald's didn't want to comment because the tow truck driver is 'supplementing' his income.

From a legal standpoint, this would be considered a form of entrapment.

Its not unfair to a business owner who potentially loses business due to people being selfish and thinking they can do whatever they want

Lisa-2:20 “he shut the door!” McManager- “gently pulls door.”

Imagine camping in real life just to tow a car

I'm surprised these tow truck drivers aren't hurt or worse.

Still is happening today with another company called top tier tow II.

Yall another guy has a video on this same McDonald's he was a CUSTOMER with a receipt and the tow truck still tried to tow them. There was a blue truck that went by spotting people and within a minute the tow truck came by towing people. Even tried to tow a lady that had just walked out of McDonald's that was legally parked in the handicap spot she had also got food there.

Lisa seems like the person to try to ruin people’s careers

I would have gone into the McDonalds and bought a burger and drink and asked the manager to bring me my car back at his cost. If he refuses I would sue for damages, have his restaurant license revoked, and have him followed home.

It's private property they have every right to tow your vehicle.

How is this unfair? They give you clear warning in the sign you chose to ignore, so... Serves you right.

It’s totally fair, it has a sign and they disobeyed on a private property with specific instructions

I would've just brought in a friend, I'd get in the building and pretend to wait for someone while he goes to get whatever he needs then leave without actually buying something 😂

I would be interested to see that tow truck drivers criminal record and I’m sure the McDonald’s corporation didn’t approve of the spotter being inside their restaurant
