  1. To me, way, hey, tow em away,
    The Lincoln Park Pirates are we!
    From Wilmette to Gary, there's none that's so hairy,
    And we always collect our fee:
    So it's, way, hey, tow em away, we plunder the streets of your town.
    Be it Edsel or Chevy, there's no car too heavy,
    And no one can make us shut down!

  2. Tow truck companies take cars from the street at will and kick back money to the cops or parking enforcement who write the tickets after the fact. The towing company or driver LIED about where they found her vehicle. It was a case of easy access for the tow truck.

  3. Follow the money! All the way to the grift! Clearly, obviously, painfully, there's a towing scan with police collaboration. Is bet that the tow trucks are freelance and they turn in their towing tickets to get written up but the cronies. And I'll bet this is not new. Dig deeper.

  4. The longer it is not resolved, the more suffering it brings about. It should have never happened and certainly not without regard for property by a required professional.
    Yes, fixes to the car, out of pocket monies due to the inconveniences made by stealing her car. Is it for citizens to be asked to “understand” theft bc it was performed by contracted city agreement? This is both criminal and civil. The fact the criminal act has not been identified as such and the harmful party has not taken responsibility but in contrary, has delayed restitution and consequence for criminal action, is absolutely disgusting.
