I love the asshat idea! That's great. But it will be much more satisfaction when the process server pounds on his door and serves him. I wonder if he'll call the cops on him! When this happened my husband went down and pounded on his door - his only response was "call the cops!" He did, they came, but my husband had already left to meet me up north with my keys.
I'm also trying for the GTA angle - statute says, permanently OR temporarily deprives owner of their property. Having a detective knock on his door is also priceless.
This is NOT the tow company on call for the community. This tow company was out of another county, more than 40 miles away. I'm sure they googled and googled until they found one that 1) would even come there and do it, and 2) was the furthest away they could find. Everything THEY did was a violation of the tow laws. Since the violation didn't actually occur until they crossed the 15 mile radius and that happened in the next county north, their sheriff's office is handling that. They'll let me know what they do about it.
I love the manure idea, but you're right - I don't want to lower myself to their idiotic level and any potential retaliation. My attorney says, he'll do depos, run up everything and take it to trial - nothing else will suffice! His fee, he'll take whatever the court says so and FROM the defendant.
