Carjacking on a different level
This should be treated as an attempted kidnapping.
Which it totally is
This is just bizarre, and definitely the police should be looking into. The story mentions the company’s been illegally towing, but surely no-one of them were while they were driving - I don’t see what the tow truck driver’s plan could be.
Also, I watched the video and they mention the model and year of the almost-victim’s car which seemed weird information to add in.
The plan was to grab the car and then call the cops if she doesn’t pay the drop fee. Unless you have people filming your botch job noone is dropping that fee without a flight.
Being barred from city contracts is definitely not enough. The owners and drivers need to be charged and blacklisted from ever owning or operating such business again.
“SPECIALTY TOWING” We specialize in abductions, for a fee. Make your problems go away today, call 1-800-ABDUCTION and get two for the price of one.
Right? Like your not just taking the car at that point, you’re taking the poeple IN the car!
They had fair warning to vacate the premises when they saw the tow truck merge into the lane ahead of them. The illegal squatters who think they can continue to occupy their moving vehicle during a surprise towing event. If a person wants to survive an STE without becoming property of the towing company all they need to do is eject.

Even if this was a repo, it would be illegal. This guy is lucky he didn’t get shot.
