Dear Editor:
To all people who live in Parsippany and surrounding areas. I would like to make people aware of this situation I encountered. Since I did not get any positive response from the management company I am informing the patrons not to shop in this strip mall.
On Tuesday, July 14 I had an appointment at Morristown Medical Cancer Center for a Chemo follow-up.
I was unable to drive the distance alone to the hospital so a friend helped me out. Since we were having lunch at Applebee’s anyway, I met her at the Applebee’s Restaurant on Route 46 at 8:30 a.m. for a 9:00 a.m. appointment in Morristown. We were back to Applebee’s eating lunch by 11:15 a.m. Which the manager can verify.
After lunch we were walking to Michael’s and the Dollar Store only to find out my car is gone. I called the Parsippany Police only to find out the car was towed by Basking Ridge Towing Company to Martin Luther King Blvd in Morristown. In order to get the car back I had to pay $160.00 in cash or check. (Which I didn’t have either) My friend paid it for me.
I could understand if the car was parked all day in the lot and didn’t patronize any of the stores, BUT that was not the case. There were many cars in the same area as mine as well.
I contacted the property management office in Maryland and explained the situation and they were to get back to me (after speaking with a woman who was on vacation) I made several attempts to speak with them and to no avail have an answer or a COURTESY call back to me.
Now it’s September and they did contact me and will not do anything about this.
I was so upset I contacted the Parsippany’s Mayor’s office and they directed me to write a letter to this newspaper. I am a good standing Morris County citizen who has been shopping at this Troy Hills Shopping Center for over 25 years. This incident which I feel I did nothing wrong has physically and mentally set me back.
I want people to know not to patronize this shopping center. I will never again shop there.
Marie Delillo
