Got towed...from right in front of my apt!, Grrr....I hate tow trucks. Options

So I find out late last night (while going out to get something from my trunk) that my car was towed (thought it was stolen until cops told me it was towed). F'ing security thought my car was not suppose to park there (recently changed hatch and spoilerless, so maybe thought it was another car).

Anyways, I cost me $250 bucks to get my car. What ticks me off is that the tow truck guy damaged my rear bumper (scratches) and also jimmy'd my car to get in to set the car into neutral. My tires look like they were dragged when the car set to park (tires deflated to ~20psi with "weird" marks).

I'm considering calling up my insurance company and filing a claim. Any one else experience this kind of thing? Is there steps we can do to prevent our cars from being unjustly towed (like turning the wheels a certain way, parking face out, etc)? Is it even legal for them to enter your car?


Gawd how I hate tow trucks!!!
