Ahmani Lewis, a hard-working 31-year-old mom in Kansas City, Missouri, was getting ready for work on February 27. In her apartment complex, she’s careful to park her 2017 Chevy Cruze in the closest handicapped spot—her placard always visible—so it’s easier to load her infant in the morning.

Walking to her regular parking spot, she noticed something strange.

“I was carrying my baby, to take her today care and I came outside and my car was gone,” she told FOX 4. “So, I was freaking out thinking, ‘Where’s my car? I don’t know where my car is!”

After a series of phone calls, she learned a local company, Downtown Towing and Recovery, had been dispatched to tow her car after she had parked in a handicapped spot. They tried to charge her $405 to get her Cruze back.

However, Lewis knew her placard was on display.

“I went to my car and showed her I had a handicapped placard in my car, which is what she’s saying it was already towed for,” she said. From there, the employee dismissed the charge and let Lewis drive away.

Her nightmare was far, far from over

Lewis thought her dealings with Downtown Towing were put to rest. However, a few days after she got her Cruze back, she started getting threatening texts about her car.

“Hey Amahni, I’m going to turn your car into a refrigerator. I know where you lay you head so keep that head on a swivel. You won’t have your Cruze very much longer ..” read one of the texts.

Lewis was reasonably frightened, assuming it was the towing company sending those messages.

“I’m very terrified,” she said. “For somebody knowing they can come and take from you and nothing can be done is very, very traumatizing.”

Not long after she received the messages, her Cruze was taken again in the middle of the night. The police were unaware of the towing, which was in direct violation of state and city laws, and her landlord claims the tow wasn’t authorized.

Her car’s GPS revealed that Downtown Towing had struck again

Thanks to her Cruze’s OnStar device, she was able to track her car’s location to the shady company’s tow yard. Her friend flew a drone over the property and confirmed it was her car through the license plate number.

Lewis and reporters tried talking to the tow company’s managers, who dismissed her and threatened to call police for trespassing. She’s suing the company and is acting as her own attorney for her upcoming trial on March 11.

The last time she looked for her car in their lot, though, it was nowhere to be found. In addition, Downtown Towing employees removed the OnStar device, so Lewis can no longer track her car.
