Tow truck drivers are literally just road pirates. Fuck those assholes.
"I feel like you parked illegally, so I'm going to steal your car and you need to pay me $500 to get it back."
But I didn't park illegally. I was allowed to park there.
"Take it up with the owner! Not my problem!"
"Also I fucked up your car when I towed it, but I'm not obligated to pay for that."
(Yeah... sure sure. You'll be "obligated" to pay for all the property damage I'm about to do (in minecraft))
Oh great you stole my only means of transport to work and moved it across town in a place far from any public transport. Oh and you're holding it ransom for an arbitrary quantity of cash. Now I have to taxi or uber or bum a ride all over the place and call in sick from work and risk getting fired.
Just legal thievery. But it's on you to make it work. Otherwise your employer will take it out of your ass. Cool system.
Firebombing tow yards should be legal and encouraged. Just the admin sections though. The rest is just a yard full of stolen cars.
Last time the tow truck assholes stole my car I asked the guy at the desk if he believed in God because he was going to hell. The poor lady who was also there to get her car back got a kick out of that at least.
