Kevin Moss swears his RV is cursed. “Oh it is, it has got to be cursed, maybe it’s because it’s a Ford,” Moss said with a smile at the Townline Road Carpool parking lot. Moss’s RV was one of dozens of campers, trailers and vehicles that were towed from the lot by the MTO on Wednesday, August 5th. Unlike the other vehicles however, Moss’s trailer only arrived at the lot on Saturday, August 1. Notices from the MTO about the towing were issued Thursday July 28th. The MTO lot rules say vehicles can be left for a maximum of 120 hours (5 days) or risk being towed. Moss’s RV was only there four days when it was towed. “We weren’t tagged for 120 hours yet, we were coming back to move it to a private location, and it was gone,” said Moss, who returned to the lot Thursday to move his vehicle. Not the first time This is not the first time Moss has had his trailer towed. For much of 2025 Moss and his partner were living in a carpool lot on Fountain Street in Cambridge. Moss says in December of last year, it got too cold and they moved in with a friend. He says when he went back to check on his vehicle, it had been towed and took several months to track down where it had gone. Moss said the towing company initially charged Moss $5,000 to get his vehicle back but eventually got it back at a greatly reduced price. Moss regained possession of the vehicle on August 1 and brought it to the Townline lot that day. What now Moss says he has called the MTO and Abrams Towing in Cambridge to get his vehicle back. As of Friday, August 7th, Abrams Towing says it will cost $644.00 to get his vehicle back. CTV also reached to the MTO, the minister’s office says they are aware of the issue and looking into it but cannot comment at this time. CTV also reached out to Abrams Towing who did not respond. Moss believes there was a financial incentive to tow his vehicle despite parking within the 120 hour rule. “I think they just went in a frenzy, a money frenzy, just to get as much money as they could out of the whole parking lot here,” said Moss Moss says he is currently out of work and collects $733.00 monthly from Ontario works. He says the towing fee is more than he can pay. “So who can afford that when they’re only getting $733 on Ontario Works a month, or even pay rent.” Moss says he hopes to get his RV back to either live in or sell to help pay for rent.
