THE WORDS FROM THE SAPD COMMANDER DOUGLAS McGEACHY
TO HOMEOWNERS AND TENANTS OF THE WOODSIDE VILLAGE HOA

"I do not have the resources to investigate all the private property vehicle storages that have taken place from your complex. However, if you are aware of anyone that believes they are a victim of a crime related to CVC 22658(g)(1)(B), you should have them contact Cpl. Morales at 714-245-8218. The circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Any incident that falls within the one-year statute of limitations and appears to be criminal in nature would then be presented to the Orange County District Attorney's office for review and they would make the final decision regarding prosecution."

CVC 22658(g)(1) Provides:
(A) Possession of a vehicle under this section shall be deemed to arise when a vehicle is removed from private property and is in transit.
(B) Upon the request of the owner of the vehicle or that owner’s agent, the towing company or its driver shall immediately and unconditionally release a vehicle that is not yet removed from the private property and in transit.
(C) A person failing to comply with subparagraph (B) is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Therefore, if your vehicle was town within the one year and you will report it to the SAPD Cpl. Morales you can get 4 x the towing expenses and can buy up to three month timeshare in the gated community (county jail) for the Management, Towing and Security Companies.

Spread the word!..... The time is of the essence.
