Tow companies are always skeevy to say the least. When Sandy hit, I remember a tow company got the job to tow vehicles that were legally parked off the streets and the company was bilking people $1,500 per car. They even went into private driveways and towed those cars as well. Doing whatever they could to get a bigger pay day.
I won't even ask why they did that. Did you find out under whose authority they did that?
Several years ago Victoria had a contract with a specific towing company (now defunct). There were literally hundreds of complaints about this company’s drivers maliciously damaging cars and towing even when legally parked. Scores of letters to council, to the newspaper, reports in the newspaper were all discounted.
City council ignored or poo-poo’d the complaints, saying it was sour grapes.
Well, they did until the mayor’s wife’s car was towed from the mayor’s reserved spot in front of city hall and damaged by these same goons. They broke BOTH side mirrors and a taillight on a brand new Mercedes in the 9 blocks to their compound.
Funny how that is. Until one of the elite is actually affected by something, nothing happens...
