I had my car predatorily towed by Tow Time Towing and Recovery on 22 May, I believe in the afternoon. I woke up this morning needing to get to work, and my vehicle was gone. I panicked and assumed it had been stolen only to find it had been towed due to failure to display a parking permit – despite the fact that the parking lot was nearly completely empty, and I was not obstructing any parking. Additionally, I was parked in my parking place, but after driving, I forgot to return my parking pass to the mirror. The pass was removed because it obstructs my view while driving. I have seen that the cap cost in Bloomington for towing is $135 and yet Tow Time has insisted I owe them $170 for the tow. After explaining the situation they said there was nothing to be done. I have since not been able to get to work due to my vehicle being gone so unexpectedly and will have to walk over two miles to the impound lot to pay to retrieve my predatorily impounded vehicle. There were no warnings I was in violation, and this has caused a considerable disruption to my work schedule and put a very significant financial strain on me given the unexpected and, in my opinion, excessive nature of the fine for what was not an illegal action and was little more than a small error in forgetting to re-display my parking pass. I would appreciate any assistance in this moving forward, and I hope by filing this, I can assist in the prevention of predatory impounding like this moving forward.

Call received to HAND from adjacent property owner. There is also a uReport under address 812 W 3rd that is duplicative. People are living year-round in an RV parked on an unimproved surface at 220 S. Maple Street. They have been there for about 18 months. I previously reported them to H.AN.D. and the city's legal department. There are also 3-5 other cars parked in the small property lot at all times. The man is apparently fixing cars for others. Various articles and garbage bags are often strewn about. Their has been many domestic violence and nuisance reports to the police and fire department during this time.
re: ticket 202706 you should very much allow this area to remain unmown. it makes the trail very pleasant to walk down and provides valuable habitat for butterflies and lightning bugs amongst other things. turning this into a barren, empty, mown field is just silly.
There is a LOT of items in this yard. Items include a full sized refrigerator, a mini fridge, a window AC unit, a shopping cart full of junk, an RV that is full of junk without a door (it has been used for storage for YEARS!). Plus, many, many other things! I last reported this in early April 2025 and it is near the end of May and NOTHING has been done, yet the ticket for that says resolved. DOES THIS LOOK RESOLVED TO YOU? This is well within the city limits and as such it is the City of Bloomington's responsibility to ensure that this property gets cleaned up!
