LED lights?  Converter missing?

Nope.  Nothing like that.  I worry that they could find some gripe, if they look long and hard enough, though.

Get this.  Per them, my Fiero was illegally modified to remove the rear seats.  I'm fairly certain that that won't stick.

I did not remove the rear seats.

Not as far as I know.  I drove to church.  When I came out, they were taking my Fiero.  Nothing I can do, until tomorrow.  Meanwhile, they towed it, less than gently.

I’m sorry this happened to you, but it’s so unbelievable, it’s funny. I can only imagine that they’ll definitely find something to justify their actions, once the embarrassment wears off inside the dept. time to call the local “news on your side” and see if they’ll pick it up. The story shout fit nicely into the “WTF?!” column. I’m sure they’ve got a bloodhound there that enjoys chasing Barney Fife stories.
Please keep us posted!!!

The city attorney is a client of mine.  I'll give her a call.

I was dumbfounded by their claim.  There were many more likely things they could have said.

You REALLY need to move out of that place.

I think I would seek retribution.  Loss of use and enjoyment of personal property should be worth a couple Thousand.  Pain and Suffering from the anxiety of what might happen to your car while it was in their possession.  Damage to the vehicle while loading and unloading from the tow truck.  I'd let it go to court so there's a full public record of it. 

Take pictures from every major Fiero event that you can find to show as evidence that GM and defunct Pontiac are the ones that are responsible for the missing rear seats.

I dont see how any body in their right mind would think that there ever was a back seat in  a Fiero.  You sure it wasnt done as a joke???

You live in a Police State! You must had made some politician or bureaucrat angry. I've never heard of such. How would they have known to look for the car at a church? There has to be more to the story...

 In Georgia you can take out all the seats from a car if you want to.

My first car was a VW Microbus. The back seats were made to be easily removed for carrying cargo. I wonder if they allowed those where  you live.

He hasn't posted since 7 something this morning. I hope he didn't get sent to Guantanamo.

This happened in a different city than where I live.  Not near a highway, though.  I have no explanation what the HP was doing there.
