Lone Pine Motel owner and manager stills Vehicles, so don't park in the parking lot better to park at Safeways. hek better to go find a better hotel, they also cost too much for what they have to offer. the same person owns the motel in The Dalles if you do not want your car towed illegally from the man who owns the Motel then find somewhere else to stay. They have the vehicles towed by Rivers Edge Towing, A police officers told my friend to go get the vehicle because the guy that was buying the car had abandoned it ,my friend was given two days to go get the vehicle from the motel, my friend who was selling the car to the person who abandoned it, went and talked to the manager of the motel that night and went to start the vehicle up someone had changed the ignition so he needed to get a poll dolly, so he talked to the manager he gave permission to leave the vehicle there, overnight, {verbal contract right! don't exist anymore,} my friend went back to get his vehicle again and the manager of the motel told him he had to wait for the police to get there, so he did for an hour, no one showed up my friend went to go get his stuff to move his vehicle a friend was helping him I,{ figure he was in on the scam because his brother-in-law owned a towing outfit and they knew exactly when to come get the vehicle.) and my friend hasn't heard from that friend since,my friend even paid him to help haul the vehicle , any way my friend came back and Rivers Edge Towing had just towed the vehicle, in 15 minutes the dirty deed was done, my friend came into Rivers Edge Towing as they were parking.,the owner of the motel didn't even give my friend the two days that the state police officer gave him to come pick up the vehicle.The manager began saying that 3 police officers showed up and waited for my friend for a whole hour, the 3 police officers who were on duty, were not doing their job of protecting the citizens of Hood River, instead they were playing, weight for the man to come back and get his vehicle even though my friend showed the manager proof of ownership, the manager also told the owner of the vehicle that the owner of the motel gave him permission to call Rivers Edge Towing to have the vehicle towed disregarding the time limit of the police department, so the owner of Lone pine is above the law. so 15 minutes up the hill almost $300.00 later. The owner of the Vehicle went to get the vehicle out of the Rivers Edge Towing and they refused to release the vehicle to him, said he didn't have the proper papers, so now it's the weekend they are closed the owner of the vehicle took it up with the person whose name was on the vehicle and he took it too some lawyers they said let it go, so the truck got sold by Rivers Edge Towing, and Rivers Edge Towing got their money back out of the stolen vehicle, and still they are trying to get the owner of the vehicle for over $600.00, Rivers Edge Towing refused to give back the vehicle Rivers Edge Towing is in the scam with the owner of Lone Pine Motel I just hope the manager was lying about the 3 police officer because I'll tell you them being in the scam looks real bad for The Hood River police department. I do know for a fact the owner told the manager to tow the car he confessed, the whole ordeal, and was very unprofessional, By the way this happened around Christmas to make things worse and the owner of the vehicle is a hard working man with a wife and two adult children one being disable, that is how Americans treat their brothers and sisters over in the gorge, The only person who got ripped off was the owner of the vehicle and his family, Rivers Edge Towing sent two notices one in December saying they were going to sell the vehicle if the owner didn't come and get the vehicle at the time it was close to a $300.00 dollar the next notice was in March over $600.00 from a collection agency that s very illegal. Rivers Edge Towing sold the vehicle in two weeks from the time they towed the vehicle.the motel owner, and manager, my friends so called friend, and Rivers Edge Towing were all involved with this so call scam, I do not believe the 3 police officers even showed up, I believed they lied, and hurt good innocent people for only one reason gread. I am posting this all over the internet I think America has a right to know how thing are in the gorge over here and trust, law and honesty do not exist in these parts trust know one.if this makes Hood River or The Dalles look bad they have Lone Pine Motel and Rivers Edge Towing to thank for that. These are the kind of people running these towns over here breaking the laws and getting away with it.. freedom of speech isn't it great. Thank You! read more
