Anybody who has ever lived in a college town knows the towing business is almost as shady as an email from a Nigerian bank, but this is ridiculous.
According to CBS Chicago, some dude’s Jeep began being towed from a River North Walgreens parking lot Sunday night…while he was still sitting behind the wheel.
Local resident Tony Marengo began filming the incident once he noticed somebody was still inside the jeep, and what followed was beyond shocking for a number of reasons.
For starters, I’d like to think that if some schmuck was going to tow my car he’d do just a tad better job of securing it to his truck. And secondly, the driver should be thankful he wasn’t driving a car from a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, as it would have exploded upon impact once the back end hit the ground.
CBS Chicago tracked down the towing company, but they had “no comment” on the incident. And that’s pretty much the same response you’ll get when you ask them why a tow from a parking lot six blocks down the street costs $400.
