lol u guys obviously dont know vancouver
2cm of snow and the whole city shuts down, cars were backed up for miles...
the car wouldnt budge.. there were a good 20-30 cars on the bridge that were left on the side and a ton of ppl walking, about 2-3 accidents on the bridge alone, they shut it down eventually

Second time, I had to get someone to come out to break into my car because I had it at the shop and they must have accidently pushed the button twice when they turned the car off because the battery died. I have a keyhole delete so first they had to break into my car, then jump the battery. No problems with the battery since.
um....right
maybe you've had bad past experiences, but it pisses me off how towers always get a bad rap. I've been working for my father's towing company right out of high school (about four yrs exp. from cars, motorcycles to tractor trailers) Chances are if the tower knows his **** and isn't careless....nothing got damaged. If the tower didnt use the tow hook, there are two hookup slots on the frame behind the front wheels, and even if he did hook to the control arms, they wouldnt bend.Tie rods are a different story. It's also possible that he did get into your car to release the brake. Our cars are cake to do lockouts on. Anyway, dragging a car up w/the E-brake on wouldnt do anything. If you have any other questions hit me up. But no matter, go over your car w/a fine tooth comb.

That's kind of a tough situation. Obviously, I would nvr recommend dragging a car up the bed w/no wheels, whether its worth 70K or 1k. However, when you tow for a city or township, you don't argue w/them, and you do what you have to do. I disagree w/how the driver did it, leaving the cinder blocks under the chasis as he did it. He could have at least jacked the car up, taken the blocks off, and placed skates under all four hubs to at least prevent them from scraping. Some damage was inevitable though.
