BRAND NEW A8 towed with NO WHEELS!!!!! Story and video

[Stillfly45]

hopefully this isnt a repost but...

WASHINGTON - A D.C. family is saying there is a good reason why their vandalized car shouldn't have been towed.

The dilemma for Chris Thompson and her husband Mike started on Thanksgiving morning when they noticed the wheels and tires on their Audi had been stolen and the car was sitting on cinder blocks. Five days later, after filing a police report and while waiting for the new parts to come in, the city took matters into its own hands.

Earlier this week, a tow truck contracted by the Department of Public Works (DPW) dragged a $70,000 dollar car to an impound lot.

"They dragged the car with a cinder block underneath it," said Thompson. "It made me sick."

Now, Thompson is outraged, claiming the damage is estimated at $20,000. "They couldn't have run our tags, they couldn't have found us," said Thompson. "They didn't try anything."

Neighbor Melvin Peterson initially reported the car to police last week. "I was concerned that maybe it was a stolen vehicle being stripped," Peterson said.

Days later, Peterson watched as it was taken away. "When the vehicle pulled out I said, they just did a serious amount of damage to this man's car."

An official with DPW said the car was given a $250 ticket and towed because it was deemed "too dangerous to be on public space".

The Capitol Hill couple, however, said no one ever notified them they were in violation. They claim they still haven't been able to talk to anyone other than a receptionist at the office.

"I was practically in tears when I got handed $250 ticket, I had to pay $120 at the impound for a car that was already vandalized," said Thompson.

damn totally fucked up

[KREEP]

I wouldnt be parking that car on the street! If they have invested that much money in a car they should have had it parked in a garage. I am not saying that what the tow company did was right but don't leave your expensive toys around where people can fuck them up! I live in a gated community and I have 2 garages for the reason that I want my shit safe! If you can't afford a garage then you shouldnt own a vehicle that expensive. IDIOTS! Tow company and the family

[SixSquared]

My heart hurts just watching that. I don't care what kind of car it is, no tow company should ever do that to a vehicle. The fact that it's such a beautiful car just rubs salt in the wound. :(

[Juggernaut]

LOL @ the Obama supporter.

[umairejaz]

damn damn damn.... and to kreep, wtf are you talking about. Doesn't matter if its in a garage or not, personal property should be respected no matter what.

[Max_nino]

[KREEP]

damn damn damn.... and to kreep, wtf are you talking about. Doesn't matter if its in a garage or not, personal property should be respected no matter what.
You and I may respect personal property but their are millions of individuals that don't give a fuck and will steal your shit fuck it up and don't care what you think.
Thats why you don't trust anyone..... and thats why you don't park your 70k car on a public street!
Lady is stupid !
Obama supporter is stupid !
Tow driver is stupid!



What I am talking about is.....Don't Park your 70 thousand dollar car out on a public street cause you will have your wheels stolen and Obama supporters call
A towing service to come fuck your shit up even worse. Why did the lady not have the fuckin car towed to a shop in the first place or have the dealer come put some stealies on it to get it to the dealer!?!?!?!? WOULD YOU PARK A 70 THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR ON A PUBLIC STREET AND NOT KEEP AN EYE ON IT?

The car should not have sat like that for more than an afternoon!
P.s. The neighbor is racist....lol
