Towing Issues: Towing from private property, puco ohio, storage fee

Question
My daughter's car was parked in the lot at a bar where she and her friends were meeting.  They stayed there for a while and then she rode with a friend to another location.  She had too much to drink and did not feel safe driving.  She returned the next morning to get her car and it had been towed.  The vehicle that was parked next to hers was still there so she assumed it had been stolen.  She called the police and they said it had been towed at 10pm; while the bar was still open.  She was not able to reach the people at the towing company on Sunday, so she will now have 2 days storage.  The bar said they considered it abandoned.  (at 10pm?)  No notice was posted concerning their policy.  This occurred in Columbus, Ohio

That link should be a good starting point for information on the towing laws in your area.  I have a hard time with Ohio laws as they are not really out on the web or at least easy to find.
Also check out the link below for more specific information on Columbus laws and you will have to dig down this one to get it the parking ones as it does not link to specific pages - sections

As to the issue of the vehicle still there next to where she parked, well that might be a vehicle which is supposed to be there. It's real hard to answer that part of the question.

Now as to the 2 days storage issue, generally tow company OFFICES are open regular business hours 8AM to 5PM, Monday though Friday. After that time, if you can get ahold of them and arrange it they might release the vehicle but they can also charge an "after hours release fee" for the service in addition to the towing and storage fees.  Sometimes this fee is relatively cheap and some times the daily storage fee for the weekend verses the "after hours fee" is actually cheaper to keep it in storage.

That just depends on the prices the company charges for services, and I have no idea of the charges for that area and each company will most likely have different rates.

Now the bar seems to be the key if they decided to have the vehicle towed away, but remember that if your daughter "LEFT THE PROPERTY" and her vehicle was still there then she is no longer a customer of the business and as such they have the right to have "non customers" vehicles removed even if she was a prior customer.  I am going to guess that the bar does have a small parking lot and so that vehicle will keep one customer from parking and going to the bar kind of issue is what they would argue in a court case.
