What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
Hi ,I had an incident happen to me almost five years ago in which I'm still trying to get compensation. I had three vehicles towed from a public street on August 18 ,2011 .According to the motor vehicle statutes in the anecdoted code of Maryland the authorities were supposed to sticker my vehicles,giving me 24 hours to move them or they would be towed ,and if towed I was to be sent by certified mail,no later than seven days of their whereabouts. The vehicles were never stickered and I was never notified by the required letter. A similar event took place in 2009 , where proper protocol was followed,with me receiving notification in a timely manner. It took me over a year to locate them this time ,with me being told by a friend who saw two of them in a towing yard. Those two were very expensive antique trucks. One ,a fire engine that won first prize in the local 4th of July parade a month prior to this incident.My third vehicle was auctioned off without my knowledge,and am told that the company is now out of business. I've contacted several Baltimore County offices including internal affairs of the police department, and am given the runaround. My latest effort is with the Baltimore County Executives office. It's been over 6 months since initial contact and haven't heard back. I called today April 11,2016 and he barely remembered me.He told me back in August of last year that it would take some time. So six months later I called today for an update. As of last year, my two antique trucks were still deteriorating in the towing yard.My trucks were beautiful and well cared for. I've only been able to view them through a fence ,where's they appear to be in poor condition.If the laws were broken by the authorities, who's to hold them to task and either make them return my vehicles to me or provide me compensation? The trucks should be put back in to the condition that they were in ,as well as delivered to me at my residence in Va. What happened is basically grand theft auto .As a result of the incident that I write of, a fourth collectible vehicle has been lost. It was apperantly towed by Code officials from my property because it wasn't tagged. I lost all of the paperwork for this car including the title because ,it was in the vehicle that was towed and auctioned off. I tried in vain to get a replacement title .Had I had the paperwork that was in the other car,I would have been able to have titled that car. Now that car is lost too. I believe that falls under causation.
The above incident was part of a larger Code enforcement operation against me where the director of that office clearly had a vendetta against me. The vehicles were on a public street and were tagged. I was even told by the towing yard operator, that I was going to be delt with ,no matter what laws had to be broken.Needless to say,after finding out the whereabouts of the existing vehicles, the fees are astounding. This is why the motor vehicle statutes were written, to notify the owner in a timely manner to avoid such exhorbedent fees. If the laws were broken ,as in my case, who's to hold the authorities accountable?
The incident occurred in Baltimore county Maryland. I currently reside in Virginia.
