Break in and steal your car.

The next day show up and say, "Dude, where's my car?"

I am thinking, what if they don't want to admit that they dragged my car? Should I sue them for damages on my car from dragging it? (admittedly, if the only damages are wear on tires, that isn't much, but can you damage your transmission?) At what point shuold I call them cops? I was actually going to today, and did call, but they said that they can't force him to open up his place of business after hours. (that it was a civil matter)

How do you file a police report?

Second, DanS, do you recommend paying the 200-250$ that they will try to charge my tomorrow (based upon what the guy was saying today). According to the PG law I printed out, I should owe a maximum of 150$ tomorrow.

The tires are only a marginal concern. What if my transmission is damaged (can happen if towed on front wheel drive in park), the car I bought new 2 years ago new, and only hs 24k miles on it.

Go to the police department
or
Call them on the phone [--not at 911 ]

I've been towed in DC a few times. It really sucks and is very expensive. Much of the reason why I got rid of my car.

Why is that all tow companies seem sketchy and barely legitimate? How is that good for business? It's a tough job. Not everyone is happy to see their vehicle being hoisted.

"all"? Obviously not. Some have been fronts for organised crime however (the mafia doesn't exist. That is just an ugly racial slur perpetrated against Italian-Americans).

On the individual level some of the drivers can be rough characters as their jobs sometimes results in violence.
