A little clarification, I store my trailer some distance from home and brought it to Wallmart for a few days to allow me to get it ready for the season. This perticular Walmart was allowing long term trailers in the pass.
The issue is that I whent in and gave my contact info at the customer counter with my name an phone number, trailer licence plate as well. and informed then of my leaving on Sunday. The staff were not aware of the general manager's new policy. If they had put a note on the trailer or called me to inform me then I would of complied.
My issue is the $ 80.00 ticket, that required the store manager to call bylaw to issue the ticket as it is on Walmart property not city property.
Also interestingly by the way, it seems that the new policy is selective as there are at least two trailers that were there when I was there and they are still there several days after I got the ticket, and moved the trailer out.
$80 for a weeks storage seems pretty reasonable.
If you read any of the threads on wally-docking, it often repeated, it's to crash for the night not for long term. This "privilege" (not a right) has been taken away in many areas where it has been abused. Based on your discussion of past history, sounds like people are abusing this location.
