Can't believe that this happened to me !!!!!


As you know, I went w/my cousin , to get a 2nd opinion, for her nodlues in her lung....sooo I met her half-way ( she is nervous driving down-town Boston)......soo, we decided that I would meet her in the Border's parking lot  (which is on the out skirts of a Big Mall).


So, I left my car in the parking lot..she wanted me to drive her new SUV. We were at the hospital a total of 3 hours ....as we pulled back into the Border's lot.....I could'nt find my car.....I KNOW I left it 2 spaces from the end....I wanted to keep it out of the way, from the front of the store !


We were both in a tizzy...I said I bet it was towed..my cousin thought it was stolen !!  Welll....we rushed inside the store & explained out delima....we were informed that cars are routinely towed, if left over 2 hrs , without moving ! Manager told me that employees of Borders have had thier cars towed !!!!!!!! The parking lot & garage is under survaliance thru a private company, which is owned by a mega  local car dealer...which is owned by a mega construction firm......hmmmm.. wonder how they got to be such millionaires.....from lil pee-ons like me !!! urghhh


Had to call the foolish mega conglomerate (sp?) to get the name of thier towing company..then call tow company...to get directions  & ask how much to get my car out of jail !!! $120.00 bucks to get car out !!!  My cousin insisted that she pay...as I was doing her a favor, to go with her to the Dr's !


Do you believe that crappolla !!!???  Let me tell you I was NOT a happy camper & not very nice language comming out of my mouth...good thing Santa did'nt hear me !!


Just had to vent...1 more time this week !!!  thanks my friends for listening !

No way!!


I would be swearing too. over 2 hours?? are they crazy?? It is hard to find parking during christmas and i bet lots park and walk a ways. how dirty!


you need to write the paper(letters to the editor), call the city and the borders. tell them this is why shopping is down in the area, and you won't be back!


Tis' the season and they are very un seasonal.
