Is it illegal for a towing company to tow your truck in the middle of the night?

Hi,

I went to bed at 11pm with my truck parked outside my apartment and woke up at 5am to close the window and saw that my truck was gone! I called the cops to report it stolen and they told me that a private towing company towed it. I was wondering if it is illegal for them to tow my truck In the middle of the night?Is it illegal for a towing company to tow your truck in the middle of the night?
Well did you call them to tow it? Did they just do it for fun?



It's not illegal to work at night.
where i live in and also commute for work in minnesota there is a parking ban between 2 AM and 6 AM..so i suppose if i was towed at 9 PM ( the middle of the night) it would be illegal....since I was parked legally....right?....that what you asking?...Is it illegal for a towing company to tow your truck in the middle of the night?
Not if they had a legal right to tow. Was it repossessed? Then good for them. Was it illegally parked? Good for them.



If it wasn't legal for them to tow at all, then they can't tow at night.
If it was parked illegally they can tow it any time they want. If it was parked legally they can't tow it at all. Just point out the parking permit, they will feel very sheepish and you won't have to pay for anything.Is it illegal for a towing company to tow your truck in the middle of the night?
No, it is not illegal to tow in the night.

If you have a legal parking permit, you may not have to pay the tow bill. II'd call the landlord.
Did they tow it because you haven't made your payments? Yes, that is legal. The can repossess when ever they want.



Post more details if they towed it for another reason.
If parked illegally, it can be towed at any time. See concert and event parking, signs that state violaters will be towed for any conditions,
No.



Assuming this was a lawful re-possession, there's nothing wrong with doing it in the middle of the night.
It is not illegal to do this, but they should have put a notification through your letterbox.
Perfectly legal. Was it repossessed or parked illegally?
no its not. if u hadnt made a payment or very late on ur payments then they can come and tow it. when u get a chance watch repoman on one of the tv channels
It's not illegal. They like to tow at night so they don't get shot at.
NOPE, they have to take it when they can get it, without any trouble from you or anybody else!
