Extreme Towing Scam

I am filing a police report. The cop that came to the tow place did not want to get involved and said I would have to see them in court. I called the cop because I was in fear for what they might do to me as they got very agitated when I told them I was calling the cops for finger prints. I know how that sounds but if you go in that place you will know what I am talking about. It will be obvious if you have any street smarts at all.

If you had parked your car in front of your ground floor apartment and had been robbed and the guy at the tow company told you he found your car with the window open and the engine running what would you say? You would know the guy was lying and that he was trying to cover up what he knew. So I had a second set of keys in there, my wallet and other stuff. It was not visible to anyone walking by as it was in the glove compartment. The car was parked 20 feet from my front door.

The car was parked at 8:45pm . A neighbor who had recently moved in used that parking space and called the cops about a half hour after I parked. He was outside with my car waiting for the cops for a half hour. (He didn't realize I was his neighbor and has offered to pay for the tow and the ticket.) The car was towed a half our later so now it's 10:15pm. My credit cards were charged 3 times 2 hours later at an Exxon station. So they filled up 3 cars in a hurry. We will have to wait for the investigation to see if the Exxon cameras caught the guys filling up.

At this point it is clear to me that X-treme Towing used a shim to open my car and that they are good at what they do. They got good from practice and are likely to do this when the opportunity presents itself. My interest is to find out if anyone else had a similar experience with this outfit and get them busted. I don't care about the crap they took. I do care that they could come after me if they realize I am a threat to their small time criminal enterprise.

They stole about $1500 in cash and merchandise. Don't you get that this could be a snap shot of a crime spree? It's not about my $1500 but the breaking and entering and that these guys are s**m bags. You would call these guys to tow your car if you had a problem?

I get it... what you are saying is that it's as plain as the nose on Karl Malden's face that these guys are crooks.
