Ojai Cafe Emporium

The only place in Ojai that locks its parking lot at 3 pm like they are protecting Fort Knox. They must have an "arrangement" with the local tow company that will lift your car with a flatbed tow truck over the chain for $75. Seventy five for each car that gets left in the lot after hours. What are they protecting? Why the locks and chains? We went to lunch, strolled back after some shopping/sight-seeing to the main street in Ojai only to find our car and five others locked in for the day and night. $450. that day for the tow truck. This is Ojai, not L.A. Ojai is a small community that does not lock its doors as a practice of neighborly attitude. I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN. I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW, NOT TO GO HERE. And yes.......the signs are posted on the back chain link fences. My bad, my $75 paid, my choice never to frequent their establishment again!
