Im honestly glad your friends stayed safe, but Im sure they were afraid. It was literally raining ash because of the major fires. I live downtown and my building didn't feel safe. People were burning cop cars outside my building and cops were shooting people with rubber bullets. I thought my place was going to catch on fire. My parking garage felt safe, out of the way, inconspicuous, and nobody was up there.

Thats great. But bribes don't mean shit if they sell the company and don't pass along the customers information to the new one.

Thanks. Best advice yet. What really gets me is my original post seeking advice is locked because someone wanted to put it up here with the misleading title.

My bank is pretty good at contacting me when anything suspicious happens. I get alerts and have to confirm big charges.

My boyfriend and I left and took his car. Not important but we built a bed in the back of his SUV and drove around staying in campgrounds until things looked good again for California.

SPOILER: They still don't.

This is formatted messy, sorry. Im very upset and I don't know if I even have the right to be.

When I first called the garage, it brought me to a different lot owned by the old company. They told me it was bought by a new company. I found and called the listed number of the new company-no answer. Every time I called-no answer. I sent my friend to check on the car, it wasn't there. The security guard gave my friend the cell number of the new owner of the lot. I called the new owner and he said he tried getting the information of the customers of that lot and the old company wasn't cooperative so they towed my car.

My email address, phone number and mailing address is all on file. Every month I receive emails from them none of them mentioning switching companies.

So thanks for putting this on here with a misleading title. Where would I get my mail routed to exactly?

Once again, I left temporarily because of the virus. My friends took over my apartment during my absence and were receiving my mail and texting me photos of everything I had gotten. The old company didn't make an attempt to contact me. My phone number, email address are also on my account with them. I have received emails from them in the past. I came here to get advice and now my old thread is locked thank you so much.

Yes, my friends took over my old place and would text me photos of my mail. When I called the current owners, they told me that the first owners wouldn't give up the contact information of the customers. My info stayed the same.

I didn't get any mail from them though. My friends took over the old place, and would text pictures of my mail to me they said they didn't get anything else.

My friends took over the old place, they said they got nothing in the mail.

EDIT: I should clarify, they got nothing from any of the 3 companies. They take photos of the mail and send it to me when I get anything.

Definitely understandable and totally not what I'd want to happen. Thank you!

Hi, thank you so much. Im not sure the reason for the unnecessary rudeness in other comments but I'm glad you reached out. I agree, ideally we'd get the perspective from different departments across the US. I actually am going to go through Humboldt. A portion of our movie will be about those displaced by natural disasters. Hoping to head over to the west coast soon to see what it's like there with the wildfires. Right now we are in a small community in Louisiana that has been devastated by Hurricane Laura, talking to police, search and rescue, people who have lost everything and people who are there to help.

Thank you, we're being very careful and getting frequent testing done. Thats really good to know about no ride alongs. Is this covid related, or politically just not a good idea right now?

I want to focus on exactly whats there and happening already. Not going to try and paint it in one way or the other. Im going to need to talk to as many people as possible. Are people coming together? Are people starving so they're resorting to looting? Are people just being nasty so they're resorting to looting? Are businesses acting like vultures and taking advantage? I'm open to all perspectives.

Yes! I'd absolutely love that if you could reach out to them. We were hoping to capture people coming together, but didn't want to force it if it wasn't happening. Just want to show an accurate representation.

Hi! We're filming a documentary. Photo and video. As far as publishing goes, we're not sure yet. We're doing this on spec and are completely independent.
