I still feel like tow companies kick you when your down. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable amount for a tow. Say $200 for a guy to take an hour of his time to drive a tow truck over load up the truck and bring it back to the yard. That sounds reasonable. But the idea that someone steels something from you, beats the crap out of it, and then you have to pay $700 to get it back again to fix. That is just tough to swallow. I had my truck stolen just about a year ago. Same thing the guy was caught and put in jail. I pressed charges and I just got my first check for reparations. It was something like $7.50. At this rate its going to take a while to pay back the tow fees and damages, but its still better than nothing. Good luck, I hope you take that guy to the cleaners.
