In Stairs thread about her car getting towed and thinking it was stolen, it came up that I hadnt told everyone about the towing company that tried to steal my car. So heres the story:
As I walk out of work, I see a red tow truck hooking up to my 1LE. I run over and stop him, he says he must have gotten the wrong car, and gets out of my way fast. My first thought is that security didnt see my parking pass and was having it towed. It seemed weird that they would do that though, so I go into security to report what just happened (read: toss the little weisel over his security desk).
As I’m on my way in, I see the tow guy doing about 40mph out of a 10mph parking lot, blowing stop signs. Now you mean to tell me he gives up on this tow without any problem, and then all of a sudden is out quick without even calling to find out what car needed him? Yea right. So I got inside and I see him on all the security cameras. They got him on 6 cameras, and it was Steve Hall towing on Bailey near West Ferry, right down in my old neighborhood.
Ive heard that they do repos as well, so they are definately used to stealing peoples cars, only mine has been paid in full for 4 years, and I just got lucky that I walked out of work when I did or it would have been all chopped up.
So if you see an old red ford tow truck, square white sign on the door with the lettering cut out to form the words, then you see the truck that is out for my 1LE, and Id be careful with your own cars.
ya know thats funny…my frends intrepid was stolen from right behind his apartment building on eagan dr in lackawana…couple neihbors did see a red tow truck…but this happend a few months ago, the car is long gone now
yea ive heard of story’s like this all the time. I actually know for a fact some tow truck company’s around in the South/East Buffalo area (not naming them of course) do steal cars and throw them to a chop shop for loot. Usually the shops are down south near the PA border. shady shit, i fuckin hate people who steal
Cavy has more value than my Taurus. And Turner totaled a semi with an SHO. I say we take my ATX and crash some cars.
My father drives a tow truck and not once has he ever said, even jokingly, “haha we could take that car” or whatever. I don’t understand why weiners with a towing license and truck think they are all mighty and powerful and that piece of plastic gives them the power to do as they feel. Shit like that gives honest people in the automotive industry, especially mechanics and such, a bad rep. Glad you caught them in the act. Now beat some ass.
This is true. I remember like 4 phone calls and you getting pissed about it :lol: The car is okay I guess. The new one >>>>>> the 94, by far. Trying to dump the 94 now to pay off bills and start my build.
