Local company CONCIERGE TOWING is a scam operation.
Concierge Towing
1438 W Cortland St
Chicago, IL 60622
(773) 486-4310
Excerpt from an article by CBS Channel 2's Pam Zekman:
The owner of another company, Concierge Towing was given specific instructions by Talbott Steel not to take his car into their lot.
But Concierge did take Steel’s car into their lot, and it was there for eight days. That resulted in a bill of $799.
“Fifty dollars a day to store it where I told them specifically, repeatedly, not to take the car," Steel said.
When confronted, Concierge Towing owner Mike Florek denied he stole Steel’s car to build up the storage fee. But in the past, Florek has pleaded guilty to possessing stolen cars.
The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight,
And lovers a'gazin' at stars;
The stores are all closin', and Daley is dozin',
And the fat man is counting the cars...
And there's more cars than places to put 'em, he says,
But I've got room for them all;
So 'round 'em up boys, 'cause I want some more toys,
In the lot by the grocery store...
To me, way, hey, tow them away,
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we,
From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy
And we always collect our fee!
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away,
We plunder the streets of your town,
Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy,
And no one can make us shut down.
We break into cars when we gotta,
With hammer and pickaxe and saw;
And they said this garage had no license;
But little care I for the law!
Our drivers are friendly and courteous;
Their good manners you always will get;
'Cause they all are recent graduates
Of the charm school in Joliet.
To me, way, hey, tow them away,
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we,
From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy
And we always collect our fee!
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away,
We plunder the streets of your town,
Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy,
And no one can make us shut down.
And when all the cars are collected,
And all of their fenders are ruined,
Then I'll tow all the boats in Belmont Harbor
To the Lincoln Park Lagoon;
And when I've collected the ransom,
And sunk all the ones that won't yield;
I'll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways
At Midway, O'Hare, and Meigs Field!
To me, way, hey, tow them away,
The Lincoln Park Pirates are we,
From Wilmette to Gary, there's nothin' so hairy
And we always collect our fee!
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away,
Now citizens, gather around,
And I think it's enough, let's call his bluff,
Let's throw the bum out of town!
my moving truck (full of my crap) got towed by lincoln towing (4432? n clark) and i had to pay $200 -- in cash -- at 10.30 on a saturday night in a blizzard to get the damn thing off their lot
i had parked it in the lot OF my apartment building without permission for all of four minutes
ya - i was towed twice in front of my building in 24 hours, the 2nd time my winshield was smashed and a nice brooks brothers shirt my sister got me was stolen along with all my power tools from my trunk. Whats Daley's answer? One of those video camera flashing blue light poles so the fat fuck cops can now watch replays of the shit they cant prevent because theyre eating gyros around the corner on Division. <end rant>
