A Hamilton man faced a bureaucratic nightmare when his Toyota was towed and taken away by police due to a mistake with his vehicle's registration.
Despite having all the necessary paperwork, including proof of ownership and purchase, the police seized the vehicle and it took several weeks for the man to get it back.
The mistake was eventually traced back to a problem with Service Ontario, but the Ontario government has taken no responsibility for the error. The incident cost the man about $5000 and left him without his vehicle for weeks.
