I love how she puts things in such a perspective that you understand both sides and why things make sense .

If you’re going to block driveways, you better keep an eye on your car and don’t stay long. 😂😂

[dianabialaskahansen]

I feel it is fair she pay for the ticket and the tow, but all of the storage fees should be paid by the police who failed to register the tow.

This happens all the time. It happened to me. Shameful. My car was stolen. I called every other day to see if the car was found. Finally, I was told my car was recovered after 2 weeks of it being in the tow yard.

[CelloandAnayaJ]

Man both of them were on point…. Both had their ish together

[Charlene-fisr]

Both litigants were well prepared, and the decision was fair.
To park blocking 2 other people from using their spaces, and overnight yet, is totally thoughtless and entitled. She's probably parked illegally many times before, but after this expensive and time consuming situation, might be more careful.

[kiwess]

Bet she won't block someone's driveway again. I've had someone block me in, so I know how frustrating it is as a homeowner. Just don't do it -- can be very costly!

[leofredette]

He's doing a good job of defending his company

[melissalsmith]

So wait she left her car there until 1pm the next afternoon?! Wow the nerve to inconvenience her relatives neighbors like that. So incredibly inconsiderate

[Idontwant]

I get the tow company guy isn’t responsible. But dang that’s a lot of money to be out. It doesn’t sound like she really has much of a chance in getting paid by the city. I guess the only thing you can do is watch where you park. Or get dropped off where you’re going and get picked up in the morning.

[Fluffyzk]

I feel for her, and she did everything right to try to find out where her car was, and then it turns out the police department screwed up! Going after the police department, good luck with that. Anyways, ppl and maybe she’s one of them, they feel they can park where ever they want, if she would’ve obeyed the sign she wouldn’t b in this position in the first place. This was a very expensive lesson for her.

[ThisIsDjYigytugd]

Yes, she shouldn't have parked there, but the case isn't about her being towed, it's about her having to pay almost a months worth of fees because no one could tell her where her car is. The lot had it for all this time but the city and the lot couldn't (or didn't) relay that information to the car's owner. Now she is out much more than she would have been if someone filed the paperwork when it was towed.

[AngieLeeHealthandFitness]

Oh that’s terrible hard lesson to learn, but unfortunately she had to learn it that way I guess she won’t block anybody’s driveway again🤦🏾‍♀️

[rockobill]

thank you for your blessing Doug of "you did a good job"...I know that means a lot to him

[highlander]

She shouldn't have ignored the sign🤷‍♀️

[debrahailey]

I'm sorry she had to go through this and have these expenses BUT, If SHE hadn't parked where she wasn't supposed to park, she wouldn't be in this position! Some people DO NOT accept ACCOUNTABILITY for their OWN actions! This whole mess started with HER!!

[justjared]

So... just don't block anyone's driveway. problem solved.

[adrianknight]

Great case. Wasn't sure in which direction this would go. But I can't help but to feel empathy for the plaintiff because she did everything possible to find the whereabouts of her vehicle after the towing. Compelling case

[coreyhardisty]

Harvey loves the law so much he couldn't even fathom her suing the city of new York. the judge was so positive and encouraging about it and he's like yeah don't even try, next case up next!

[runningawayvagabond]

This is totally a plaintiff problem. Could she have been anymore selfish parking her vehicle in that little itty bitty spot and block in not just one but TWO driveways?

You know what they say, FAFO.
