Please advise. Date of Update: 1/7/2013 6:17:45 PM Update Type: User Feedback Details: Hi, I was located at 513 West Broad Street. The towing company's name was Pete's Towing. I used a building/management issued parking permit and placed it on my dash. When I went to retrieve my car from the towyard, the parking permit had been removed (which means they entered my car). I am not debating the towing of my car, but I am concerned that they entered my car. Thank you for any information you can provide.
