Property:

The towing company is not required to release personal property within the ABV to the owner until reasonable or agreed to charges for

recovery, transportation, or safekeeping have been paid or satisfactory arrangements for payment are agreed upon.

The towing/storage company must either release the personal property to the owner or provide an itemized receipt for the contents after

allowing the owner to inspect the property. The towing/storage company is liable for the condition and safe return of the personal property.

Any medication prescribed by a physician must be released to the owner upon request.

 

Liability

The towing company is not liable for any damage caused by removal of an ABV from public property when the removal is properly authorized, except for damage caused by negligence. A towing company that lawfully removes an ABV from private property with the written authorization of the landowner/agent (who is present at the time of the removal) is not responsible in any situation relating to the authorization of the removal. The towing company is responsible for:  Any damage caused by the towing company to the ABV during transit or storage; and  Removal of property, other than the property specified by the landowner/agent. Damages may be recovered by the owner of the ABV from the landowner/towing company if any damages to the ABV resulted prior to or during the removal of the property. Except for the removal of ABVs authorized by a law enforcement agency, a towing company must not remove ABVs from private property without first obtaining written authorization from the property owner/agent.  All written authorizations must be kept on file for at least one year.  General authorization to tow at the towing company's discretion is not acceptable, except in the case of ABVs unlawfully parked within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or in a fire lane designated by a Fire Department or the State Fire Marshall. A towing company that fails to obtain written authorization from the property owner/agent will be liable to the owner of the ABV for four times the amount of the towing and storage charges, in addition to any applicable criminal penalties that may apply.
