This situation started on December 09, 2023 when the new owner of the
property I am leasing, authorized the illegal removal of my vehicle’s I
own from the property by Barto’s Towing and tow truck operator,
Cody Barto.
This new owner, whom is now my landlord, where I have been running
my business for the past eleven years, threatened to evict me if I did not
comply with registering vehicles that were not insurable at that time.
At the time I was not ready to insure them as they were in a state of
repair and possible selling of one of the vehicles.
Afterwards, I then went down to the towing company to pay for and retrieve my
Vehicle’s Cody Barto told me it will be $150 for the tow and the storage
was $100 for that day and $100 for each day after. I said to him I looked
up the fees allowed by law before I came here and stated it was only $25
per day “Okaloosa County Resolution 08-202” and he stated it’s $100
for private tows which is incorrect and said to him that’s illegal and you
can’t do that he refused to release my vehicle’s I then said to myself he’s
not going to rip me off and went to the court house to get information
about this situation several weeks pass by and come to find out that my
vehicle’s had been dumped on the roadside of property owned by
Okaloosa County and he was and had been charging me a $100 per day
storage fee on property that he had no legal right to and was profiting
hundreds of dollars off of property owned by the county of Okaloosa
illegally.
I then contacted code enforcement and ask if someone can dump
vehicles on county property while charging the owner a $100 per day
storage fee. It was stated no and that it was illegal. I then gave him the
address of 98 Air Force St. located in Fort Walton Beach county of
Okaloosa which later was proven to be a made up address by Barto’s
Towing/Cody Barto.
After sometime I noticed my 2001 Ford F-150 and 2007 Chry 300 were missing from their
original location. I contact Cody Barto by text message and ask him
where my vehicle’s were and he never responded.
Cody Barto had not filed any required legal forms or liens by law with the Clerk of
Court to take legal possession of the vehicle’s and also violated Florida Statute 713.78.
Florida Statute 713.78 states that any vehicle being sold by a towing
company after claiming a lien for towing and or storage must be held
for 35 days after the vehicle is stored, not including the day of towing,
storage or the date of auction and can only be sold on the date of the
public auction by the towing company if the vehicle is 3 years of age or
older.
On an unknown date, the Defendant, sold Plaintiff’s vehicle’s
to an unknown entity before what would be the legal public auction date
of January 14th, 2024.
Therefore, Jack E Roberts had the legal right, by law, to retrieve said
Helpful ReviewVehicle’s up to the time and date of the public auction; therefore, Barto’s
Towing/Cody Barto violated Jack E Roberts rights by selling said
vehicle before the legally allowed auction date.
