In portland oregon you have to initiate the tow with tow desk before you start hooking the car that way when you call it in stolen the say no heres the name an number of the tow company that has it.So that was the first thing he did wrong an did not have the right to charge, an then it was not fully hooked up,in order to charge a drop in portland it must be fully hooked up that means chains,tire straps,tow lights,an dollys if needed,than you can charge a drop. Grab an go is the way to go never have a drop fee, if you can back under the drive tires 10-15secs from the time you make contact your gone.
My friend quit his job working for a blatanly corrupt regulated towing monopoly in Portland Oregon cuz he was told if he wanted to keep his job he would be required to break laws that would get him jail time anywhere else.
The Portland Police said that local towing companies are essentially above the law, while his employer said towing is a necessary evil, that his sole responsibility was to inflict as much evil against people as possible, because inflecting evil is how tow companies get rich.

Retriever Towing is a racket. They are all about predatory towing. They patrol lots and wait for victims to accidentally park. It's borderline extortion, and any local business owners should think twice before contracting Retriever Towing in Portland, Oregon to 'protect' their lots. Potential clients will have plenty of angry residents who have had their visitors victimized by this company. I suggest locals roll down their windows when they see a Retriever driver and tell them what you think!
