It's called giving tickets to people who illegally park their cars. I suppose you were totally innocent like max was.

I would like to talk to you Max. The same thing happened to me last Friday. I think you would be interested in what I have learned since then.

This is a BIG Scam in Pigeon Forge and it is time to shut it down.

Thanks for your support and money. We all slept better as well!

First of all, Just because you do not see a sign saying you can't do something, does not mean you CAN!, and second, the fact that it was grass should have told you it was not a parking lot. AND, even if it was paved and stripped, who do you think is going to provide free parking in Pigeon Forge when you are not buying something from the lot owner? A very small highway frontage lot is worth MILLIONS, and people expect to be able to use someone elses property as long as they want. Then you get mad at the owner for having you towed. Some people really have some gaul.

how could anyone be so dumb as to think a business, or private homeowner does not have the right to have your vehicle removed from their property if you are parked in the grass or are not a paying customer? tourist think the cities should give them all a break because they have money to spend. And to be mad at a particular wrecker service is ignorant. They come when they are called. If someone parked in your yard you would want their vehicle removed, and you would call to have it removed at owners expense. That's exactly what those establishments in PF are doing. You people need to stop thinking the world owes you a break. You knew not to do it before hand. One silly person below thinks he should be allowed to squeal his tires on the city streets. Even if wreckers are waiting for you to leave your car parked illegally so they can tow you, what's wrong with that? Cops watch for you to do something illegal all the time. You tourist are just mad because you expect preferential treatment, but you are not special. We are here to take your money, if you don't like it, stay home!!!

I wish you would tell what wrechker service it was so I will never use that one again.. PF has became a staple of scams like that, it may be legal but is still a scam... Everyone knows it and we just live with it because what can we do as citizens. Politics around here is so corrupt it's not even funny anymore...

oh yeah, let them rip and screach them tires on a public highway, what could it hurt,... right??? hahaha, dear god, how stupid!

what is wrong with people who think parking in the grass is ok? It doesn't matter who you are or how long you have been coming here, you should have enough sense to find a legitimate parking spot. I bet you don't have a sign in your driveway stating it is private and no parking,.....So don't get mad when someone parks in your yard and tells you that you did not have a sign saying they couldn't,...That kind of thinking reminds me of telemarketers who think they should have the right to call you unless you opt out.

I Love Pigeon Forge more than any place around here. I live in Boone n.c. and The Towing problem and the Police on Bikes and motorcycles. Doesn't even get as BAD during An ASU Football Game... here as The Pigeon Forge Police. do at a Rod Run Over There Don't get me Wrong You all have The Most Beautiful Place's in The World.... But The Police need To LET UP A LITTLE on a Little Tire Squeling.....

States have different laws and the way things are done in one state are not necessarily done the same way in another state. In many states before a vehicle is towed, signs with specific state designated language must be posted. Without the special language, towing is stealing. The state legislatures have to be careful that stealing cars does not become legal because of the wording in the law or ordinance governing booting and towing.

Making a giant jump to a conclusion I suspect local businesses have not followed the rule. Not following the law to the letter is stealing. It will not be long before the wrong person is "booted" resulting in non-consensual towing. That individual just might have a gun and someone is going to be hurt maybe killed. Can you imagine the outcry of sympathy for the person towing or booting? I cannot. Or, the individual will go to court and put Sevier county on the map. We all know hick towns known as speed traps. Sevier County just might become known as the hick county that legalizes stealing automobiles and holding them for ransom. Legalizing extortion as another source of income.

PUBLIC HEARING: NEW WRECKER RULE – NONCONSENT TOWING FROM PRIVATE

PROPERTY

Rule 24. NONCONSENT TOWING FROM PRIVATE PROPERTY

Prior to towing a vehicle (or personal property) from private property without the vehicle (or personal property) owner’s consent, the towing company must have express written authorization for towing of that vehicle (or personal property) from the owner of the private property or designated agent. When an individual is designated by a private property owner to act as an agent to authorize towing from the property, such designation must be in writing and signed. There shall be some relationship between the private property owner and the designated agent, and there may be no relationship between the designated agent and the towing company. Contracts or written agreements between a towing company and private property owners for nonconsent towing must be retained by the towing company, and must include the property owner’s signature and the signature(s) of any agent(s) designated by the private property owner. The towing company must make these documents available for inspection by the commission or any designated representative at any time. Maximum allowable rates for nonconsent towing from private property will be as specified in Section 6.80.550(H) of the Metropolitan Code of Laws.

The town my mother grew up in and I like to consider as my hometown has turned into nothing but a money making machine that could care less about people.

There is a cure for this problem in the future....Stay in Greeneville where you were born and raised. Standing in your garage won't make you a Mercedes either!
