Just know that there is no shame in wanting to belong and to be loved.

Screenshot of Reddit from 6 months ago:
Tow truck driver basically said: pay me cash or I'll take your car... legal in NYC?
I was doing a delivery in the Bronx and parked for about 3 minutes. I'm not trying to excuse myself, but the yellow line was barely visible, it was poorly painted, and there were no signs anywhere in sight.
Here's what happened: a tow truck driver approached me and said that if he took my car, I wouldn't be able to get it back until the next day when the yard opened. He insisted I had to pay him $218 in cash on the spot-he said he didn't take card, Zelle, or Cash App. I told him I didn't have my debit card with me, so I couldn't withdraw cash. I asked at least to grab my house key from the car before he towed it, and I told him to just take the car and I would pick it up tomorrow.
While he was sitting in the truck supposedly filling out paperwork, he suddenly asked me if I had Apple Cash-which he had just said earlier he didn't accept. At that point, I sent him the money with Apple Cash, but it left me very suspicious. It feels like he might be pocketing the money for himself instead of processing it officially through the company.
This situation doesn't feel right. Tow companies in NYC are supposed to operate under clear rules, with licensed addresses, official receipts, and proper payment methods-not personal Apple Cash transactions.
Foreontext, the tow truck driver's name is Jake Rios, and the company listed on the paper he gave me is
INSTANT RECOVERY CORP.
The so-called receipt he handed me is almost unreadable, and it lists the address as
420 Bronx Park Avenue
bronx, NY 10460. But when I checked the official NYC website to verify the company's
license, the address that shows up is 1129 East 179th Street. That already makes me doubt if this was legitimate.
5 My question is: do tow truck drivers in NYC legally operate like this, or did this guy basically rob me? And if it was illegal or predatory, where can I report this type of incident?

We’re suing Instant Recovery, a Bronx towing company that has been breaking the law and scamming New Yorkers with illegal junk fees, overcharges, and cash-only demands.

No more taking advantage of New Yorkers stranded on the side of the road.

Some things my friends say stick with me. One friend talked about how she walks away from situations, understanding she doesn't feel the need to prove she's right.

That shit really fixed something in me.

AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?

ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed

AYMAN: Where?

LUNA: Are you serious right now?

AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation

You really don't have to know the "why". Just know it was done and you don't like the way it makes you feel and be done with it.

This is me practicing the chord progression of the song I just finished writing. It’s called β€œA Room for You,” and that’s all I can really say about it for now. I’ll record the whole thing as soon as I’m able.

They run the same playbook every time:
1. Overstate or make up a threat to cause hysteria
2. Use that hysteria to justify taking away rights or access to services.
3. Repeat
