tow him to the BIG HOUSE,lousy thief!

That is the best response that could be give.

How could someone be as low as to take advantage of people going thru such devastation???? He's real scum!!!

so police looting,churchs selling donation,Red Cross $$ going god knows where,gas @$5 a gal,The insurance Co.'s trying to get the Government to change Sandy so they don't have to pay out.The strom was to be the worse,NOT RECOVERY !!!!!!!!!!

What a shock!!!!!!!a local company in bed with local officials fleecing senior citizens and the displaced....only in toms river.... Is anyone paying attention. The only way that APk got the contract for towing was with the expressed consent of the mayor, cheif of police, and DPW head....surprised Ritaaccio is not involved.... Chris Christie please help.....

This guy ripped me off a few years back, he is nothing more than a low life scum. I am praying that he will see the inside of a jail cell, and meets someone else he ripped off there, praying his cell mates name is Bubba!

What really needs to be investigated is who in Seaside authorized the towing contract to APK in the first place, and whether a percentage of those towing fees, if any, was to be split with the borough.

I hope this guy (owner Mathew Zacaro) cuts a deal and tells the prosecutor who he was paying off and how much. However since Gerge Gilmore (the Ocean County Republican Chairman) is also the Seaside Heights borough attorney and has his finger prints all over this scandal, I expect the towing guy to fall on the sword and protect the corrupt Ocean County Political Structure. Why doesn't the New Jersey Attornry general or the Federal Prosecutor get involved? That is the only way to get to the bottom of this mess. Remember, Ritacco only got caught because the federal prosecutor was invloved. He was never investigated by the Ocean County Prosecutor.

Mmmmm- So how did this towing compny gain access to the island ?

How come APK and not the usual Seaside towing company was used? I think you have to look deeper then APK. Who hired them when Seaside has used the same tow company for years on the island.

Shouldn't someone from emergency management (or the police) have marked the vechiles/boats that needed removing? This company had unlimited access, no oversight, and no witnesses while pulling off this scam! So much for emergency mamnagement.

Toms River zoning dept. strikes again allowing this dirt bag clear out the whole corner of RT37 and Coolidge Ave which now looks like a junk yard next to the gray crack house that should of been condemed years ago. That's Toms River for ya, as long as it's not in there back yard they turn there heads as usual! Wake up Toms River this sleave bag came out of the wood work a year ago you should of picked a reputable towing company. Get rid of APK !!!!

Who is matt zacaro? did he grow up in Toms River? does he live in the town? Guess what, 10 years from now toms river will be back and his business will be gone. Who will ever take their car to this guy to be repaired and how can he continue to have a lic. to work in the town after this. Nice move moron.

Correction his name per the better business bureau web site is Mathew Zucaro.

My google search came up blank.

Mathew shows up on the seside Heights Fire Department web-site as a member.

How about "serving" the members of your town in a fair and ethical manner.

As we see this stupid person going by the name "Disgusted by you people" is prob the owner of this low life company.. To answer your question yes I do think this company would jeopardize everything to make a buck!!! People INCLUDING YOU DISGUSTED are scumbags.. So tell you company HAHAHAHAHA they got caught, pay the time when you do the crime buddy!!!

i am glad this is all coming to light. and for the record, as one of the victims I have never spoken to Matt, only to Richard Demarco (if that is even his name), nasty nasty individual. He is the one that laughed at our pain that they were going to make money off of us suckers. His words he wrote on the Ocean County Blotter FB page, and wow how convenenient they are now gone. Jerk.

*CONVENIENT

yes, and yes...I am not afraid to post with my real name. Who are you?

Only people I see hear are the trash mouths who need to clean the smelting of their closets first. When you can say for sure about something then yap your mouth until then go wash your mouth out with soap.snd no I am not an owner of the company just disgusted by idiots who don't know jack!!!!

If you listened to the Governor to EVACUATE u don't leave your car!!! You go you had a week to get out then you decide to stay and jeopardize the public servants to save your butt!!! Get with it. You screwed up and now your looking to place blame somewhere!!!!

Right out of the how to "maintain power in a corrupt government handbook"
If you have no way to refute the truth....Atack the truth tellers in an attempt to discredit them, The only problem with your comments is that they are idiotic and only serve to validate the truthful posts previously posted.

No they only prove common sense!!! Really. I lost alot in this storm also but it is to no one fault but nature! Grow up. If your car didn't work what are you crying about? It's not my business but it's seems like you are placing blame and slandering people businesses etc. You had a week Tina if your car meant that much to you should have sent it to be repaired! People. Wake up and take responsibility for your own actions!!! Accusing people is not nice. Just remember KARMA!!!!!!

No I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I'm not! I'm just sick of everyone having to place blame. Just like everyone getting upset with the power companies!!! Get with it!!!! It was a catastrophe!!!!!!

Anyone can have before pictures. Were YOU or her personally there DURING and right after the fact? Were you there to see who was giving direction? Were you there seeing all the action? Anyone can have a picture of what is WAS before!!!! What a joke!!!

OMG do you hear yourself. I have the pictures of where the car was. and the drag marks. NO ONE else was in my driveway. You MUST know them personally to have invested so much of your energy to fight for their side. I know my rights. MY car was sucken into the sand in my yard. An officer TOLD us that the towing company was authorized ONLY vehicles in roads and impeding traffic NOT on private property. They would have NO business in my back yard. I am not the only one they towed cars from private property from so go bother someone else. Get over yourself already.

If your car was sunken into the sand does seem like it's ok! Plus not working!!! Oh boy! Listen I heard enough if all this crap already! The fact of the matter is there was a catastrophe. End of story. We build it back up but don't trash people cause it's not nice!!!!! Enough said!!!

plus lets even give the lowlifes the benefit of the doubt for one second, but only one second, why are they trying to financially rape people .....people they have to live in the community with.......if u see any of these guys out in public, stand up and let everyone around know who they are and what they are about.....thats street justice

Wow Matt. You sure come off as more of a scumbag than we all thought you were based on the illegal towings.

You try to justify stealing someones car because it doesn't run and they didn't have the money to get it fixed? I guess you are right. We don't have the right to assume that something left on our property won't be stolen by a POS.

When the cops were checking for ID's to keep looters out, they should have been escorting your trucks...the biggest f'ing looters caught so far.

I agree with Tina nothing should be paid if the vehicle was taken from private property. When the police authorize a tow they have to follow the amount stated in the code above. Why $250? For the vehicles that did need to be removed (not on private property) why not waive all fees except the $105. This company used to be owned under another name. GRONES got sued years back for not adhering to the toms river township codes. I found price rite towing to be legit, and always followed the fee schedule. Get you insurance companies involved, they have attorneys act on your behalf

Only problem with the ordinance you posted is I am pretty sure that with the "state of emergency" that was declared by our Governor, all laws were subject to being ignored since it was an emercency. That is why your polliticians lied and said it wasn't safe to return to your homes (an abuse of your constitutional rights to liberty and property). As long as they lied about the safety issues they could maintain there emergency powers to steal and abuse the residents rights.

A few people tried to get people to stand up for their constitutional rights. But as usual they were shouted down by the masses.

We live in a republic people NOT a democracy !

I am so very sorry for the ppl who have been ripped off by this jerk. I pray justice prevails n whoever payed out, gets their money back. This guy will never have a business here agin. He is done stupid schmuck ruined himself out of greed. Everyone else Stay Jersey Strong n stand up for your rights. God Bless

You call that crap hole a buisness! Go back to your room at the Pine Crest Heroin Motel. That's the problem with TR any dirt bag can open a buisness here and deface the neighborhood anyway they want.TR should screen these so called buisness owners first before they get the chance to turn it into a ghetto. Wake up Toms River.

NBC10 (Philadelphia) just reported on the story and interviewed some of the victims. They said the company promised to refund any charges over $250. However, it appears the company may be in trouble for stealing some of the cars from personal parking spaces.

Shame On You, and yup money coming back to those towed. Copers all over AKP and the business has been shut down! Arnold says hello.

What nobody understands is that all of his cars @ SSH in a new car lot he has got damaged, and now hes trying to make up for his losses,
I hope the dirt bag goes to hell along with all of his croney`s on the SSH board

Be angry , vent etc but people IMO it is never ok to post people's personal info as an intended target online when they could have families. There are sick people out there we all know this . I know you are angry but if someone truly did harm to someone's son, father or husband in the grand scheme you would feel terrible. Lets vent , say whatever nasty thing we want ,state our case but maintain human decency.

I hope ALL of those who's cars were towed from PRIVATE property. Make a complaint with the Police Dept. For Trespassing, Larceny, & Possession of stolen property

WHO ARE THE OWNERS OF THIS COMPANY,ASK THAT QUESTION.

This company did what they were told to do the truth will come out and everyone will owe these hard working individuals an apology. Why do you think Apk agreed to give the cars back because seaside heights made a commitment to pay the company. Why would the town agree to pay for these cars if they weren't told to tow every car?
