What is the name of your state? IN
I take the train to work every morning and usually park in the parking lot. This morning I arrived a little late and there were no more parking spots available, so I parked (along with at least another 15 cars) alongside a set of railroad tracks just to the south of the normal parking lots. People have been parking in that area for at least the last 5 years. There were never any signs there. Nobody has ever received a ticket or any type of warning as to the legality of parking in that area so everyone just assumed it was OK.
Today when I went to where I had parked, my car as well as ALL the other cars had been towed and 2 tiny signs only 3 feet tall had been added.
According to the police, the property we were parked on belonged to the train company, and as it was private land, it was perfectly legal to have everyone towed away without any warning.
Shouldn't they have posted some signs up to warn people to not park there beforehand? Heck, even a simple printout on the windshield would have worked. In addition, my car bumper was damaged. What are the laws on this?What is the name of your state?
