      March 1 ***** Riviera Theater - show started at 7:30pm. Name of show: Here is the Thing: **************** Chick ****** It was over at 10:00pm., it let out. We walk out to get in our car, only to find out it was gone. Thought some one took our car. We started walking around the park lot and walk on the opposite side from where we park, it said no parking. There sign was a cardboard sign attach and staple to a pole. On the side we park at there were no sign but one that said free parking for a restaurant. Further down was another sign that was turn on the opposite direction where no cars were parked. . So our car was towed away and several other cars. We had called the police they said there was nothing they could do. We found another sign that had Protective Parking Service with phone number on it. We called themand they had our car and many others. We got an Uber to go get our car, they charged us ****** to get our car back, we were from out of town. We took videos and picture showing where the signs were. Please happen us get to the bottom of this saturation. They had two towing trucks and was still bringing in other people cars. Mind you the signs were cardboard and turn on the opposite side. No one parked on that side because the sign said your vehicle will be towed. There was no wind blowing for the signs to turn, it was put up in the opposite direction. No cars were park over there. I have taking pictures and videos so you could see. Thank you in advance for helping us get to the bottom of this matter. The guy was very rude, who we had to pay to get our car back from. We were park facing the side where there is no side accept the one with the sign showing for their restaurant, free parking if you were going to eat at there restaurant. This is so unfair people coming from out of town to see a show, just to be scam. They scam so many people that night.Trambria Broomfield ************ *********************************** Apt.- C ***********, **. 62702-8431

      I had brought my daughter to ******* to enjoy a day out with her friends. We payed for parking from 2pm until 6:30pm we got back to the parking spot and it was only 3:45, my car was gone! Come to find out they towed my car for no reason, there for they stole my car! Legally I still had 2 hours to be parked where I was at I had all the proof! They refused to give me my car back unless I payed what they wanted wich was 240 dollars to get my stolen car back. Also they was very rude when my boyfriend called to see if they had taken my car before we found out an they was trying to get a reaction out of him by calling him a little girl an just treating him like complete c*** I've looked up the reviews for them and this has happened to multiple people . How is this company even in business.
