This woman and her husband were stopped at a light at Montgomery & Bush yesterday morning when a tow truck comes out of nowhere & tries to hook onto their Toyota! I spoke to Joanne today who says her car is paid off, paid her registration & doesn’t get why her car was targeted. Note: Specialty Towing didn’t return my call/email for this story. But City Attorney David Chiu did suspend the company this year for illegal towing calling them “unscrupulous”. Joanne says the tow truck also chased them for several blocks once they were able to escape! More on my story shortly…heading to the studio to anchor the news, brb… #SanFrancisco
@DionLimTV Generally curious from a self defense standpoint - considering they were inside the car and could’ve been injured - is attempting to tow assault? It seems like assault. Is this attempted kidnapping? What would be considered reasonable self defense in this instance?
@DionLimTV So the tow truck driver basically is trying to steal a car and kidnap people? I’ve never seen this in my life. Is this a new allowable San Francisco crime???
@DionLimTV Wait until they have robot tow vehicles running around town
Even if it were overdue on payments, trying to tow a vehicle while it has people in it???
@DionLimTV Kidnapping and grand theft auto attempt? This company and driver need to be charged.
