Education Title: 53 Cars Towed From UCF During Glenn Beck Event 53 Cars Towed From UCF During Glenn Beck Event ORLANDO, Fla. -- Dozens of people who parked at the University of Central Florida for an event say they were set up after their cars were towed. They said event parking signs directed them to a lot, but more than 50 cars in that lot were towed. People said those signs and their cars were gone when they got back. A viewer contacted WFTV after his car was towed Saturday, along with 52 others. All of them were in line to recover their cars at an impound lot and all of them attended the Glenn Beck show at UCF. The people parked in a Kappa Sigma lot. Mike Vedder thinks they were set up. He doesn't know if it was a dislike of the conservative commentator or money. “Maybe the have a deal with the tow truck company or maybe they got kickbacks under the table," Vedder said. They all said an event parking sign clearly directed them into the lot. Students at the fraternity wouldn't comment, but WFTV caught up with the owner of Orange County Towing and Recovery, Ronald Hulbert. "I have a lot at stake, a lot invested. I'm not going to lose it over a $125 tow, times 53, times 53, it was a good day," Ronald Hulbert said. Hulbert admits he's never towed that many cars in one day before; he said it took him at least eight hours to tow all the cars. Each driver had to pay cash, netting him more than $6,600. Vedder also had to pay $25 for a cab ride to the tow company. UCF said, out of 30 recent events, it hasn’t had a problem, but Vedder said this was his last at that arena. “I won’t come to anymore. I'm going to tell everyone else it's not a place I want to be," he said. WFTV was told to call Paul Gamble with Kappa Sigma, but he did not return any phone calls.

"I’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica!" -Rush Limbaugh #2. To: Skip Intro (#0) Amusing dirty trick, gotta admit. Ironically once you get past that aspect, you realize just how heavily attended Beck's event was, and the time committment those attending put into it. And BEck will have a BALL with this as another example of liberal intolerance. Finally, if he's astute, and he is, bet he reimburses those 53 car/truck owners on his show. I'm still laughing at the dirty trick though. Thats a classic. my anti groupie can't get through life without me. #3. To: Badeye (#2) And BEck will have a BALL with this as another example of liberal intolerance. Why think that? I'll bet the fraternity came up with the idea and got the tow truck driver to split the take with them. Good old capitalism.

To: Skip Intro (#1) (Edited) One of the advantages of living in NYC is that you don't believe any sign about parking UNLESS you feed a meter and even then you have to make sure that you read every goddam sign on the block to make sure that the meters are in effect when you want to park there. On one pole you can see 5 signs: No Standing 7AM-7PM Except Trucks Loading and Unloading No Parking Tues-Thurs 2AM-9AM One Hour Parking Except Sundays No Standing Any Time Parking By NYCOMB Permit Only #67. To: war (#48) Keep hiding behind the bozo, bozo. (laughing) You've always been a world class pussy. Badeye posted on 2010-01-14 16:12:48 ET Reply Trace #5. To: Badeye (#2) (Edited) Amusing dirty trick, gotta admit. "Dirty tricks" is all 0bama's Primates are about. And you're right - towing away 53 cars means Beck drew a heluva lot of people who hate 0bama and his freak-show. And BEck will have a BALL with this as another example of liberal intolerance. He will use this just as you suggested; one more example of the fundamental defectiveness of the intolerant, reptilian Left.
