I'm pretty upset.
I live in Manhattan and parked my XSE on sunday in my neighborhood. Early this am (tuesday) the city apparently wanted to work on the street, so they towed all the cars that were parked on this street. There were no signs on sunday, and we didn't go inspect the street on monday for last minute signage.
Anycase, wife goes to use the car tuesday am... and no car. Construction crew says it's been moved further down the street with all the other cars.
Foreman says 2 tow trucks moved my car. Lie. Turns out, the must have slim jim'd the car, as our driver's door is now slightly bent by the window and we have scratches in the black plastic trim near the window. Car was in Neutral. The plastic cover above the shifter (shift lock cover) was removed and left in charging tray.
Road paving company says NYC city hired them, and the tow truck company, take it up with NYC.
1. no flat bed truck was moved
2. driver's door window trim is no longer flush
3. black plastic trim around window is now scratched up
I could use some advice or thoughts. We have a generic gmail address for the NYC liason and the road paving company. We're planning on sending them an email, but I'm not sure what kind of satisfaction or resolve we'll get. NYC offering any compensation or help in matters like this is pretty much like trying to scale Mt. Everest blindfolded and with broken legs.
Sigh. 2020 just keeps getting better.
