A Cambridge, Ont. woman whose car disappeared around the time she was hospitalized for a medical emergency is glad she’s been able to get the vehicle back, but concerned it took a tow company contacting her two weeks later for her to find out what happened to it.
A Cambridge, Ont. woman whose car disappeared around the time she was hospitalized for a medical emergency is glad she’s been able to get the vehicle back, but concerned it took a tow company contacting her two weeks later for her to find out what happened to it.
Now Lauren Black’s been left with a $1,200 bill, and she’s worried the same gap in the system that her case fell through could leave others vulnerable to predatory towing.
Black’s weeks-long ordeal began on Jan. 30.
“I was having a medical emergency,” she said, explaining she pulled into the parking lot beside her apartment building.
“[I was] not really thinking about where I was parking, I just needed to get home and get to the hospital.”
Black, who is the partner of a Bell Media employee, spent four days in hospital before being sent home on bed rest.
“I wasn’t even thinking about checking on my car because I was in quite a bit of pain.”
