Default Car Towed!!!

So yeah my car got towed because it was parked on a fire lane -.-;;
However that is not the problem.
The way they towed my car is the problem.
They lift up my rear wheels and towed it.
Now I heard a loud scraping noise when they were exiting the parking lot.
And who knows how many more scrapes they have done while driving.
I took pictures of the front bumper before they towed it.
I am planning on picking up the car on up coming Monday.
I am also planning on calling the police.

Anyone know how i should handle this?
Like do i just call 911?

There is nothing you can do about it until Monday, Probably. Try to stay calm.

Now, let the games begin.

There should be a non emergency number that you can call for these type of issues. Log on to your city website and it should be there.

Police non-emergency number to file a report.


File a complaint with the towing company, and contact your insurance provider as well.

Your insurance provider will be your biggest advocate though, since they don't want to pay for it.

I heard of this happening to someone as well and their car was really damaged by the towing company.

Normally a tow company will report a towed car to the police.
