A Navy Lt. who was a part of the war in Iraq in 2007, returned home to his condo complex in Virginia Springs, to find that his car had been towed and auctioned off by the Norfolk Towing Company.

The U.S. Justice department has filed a lawsuit against the towing company on behalf of the officer.

Justice department officials are considering converting the lawsuit into a joint class action lawsuit as they suspect that the company preys on military members by enforcing storage liens without a court order.
