Re: Had a car stolen from in front of the shop last night

My boss, the friend that caught the truck and the towing company owner are doing more than the police are, the police report says the case is closed, that is going to change though. There is some security camera footage of the potential thief coming to the towing company to pay for the tow, you can see the silver Mercedes that the truck driver was describing, no tag number though.

The thing is, the guy originally said the car was in Belmont, which is very close to Charlotte, the towing company is in Charlotte, the car was supposed to be delivered to an address on the same side of the city as the towing company so it would be a cheap tow. The car was actually in Kannapolis, which is much further, and it was going to the other side of Charlotte, so the guy in the silver Mercedes bribed the driver to get out cheaper, maybe $150 instead of $400. We are pretty sure the name and address given to the towing company was a fake.

The driver did say he has done other tows for the guy before, though the owner doesn't have any records of them, so they were side jobs. We don't think the driver is really connected in any way except being used by the actual thief, he probably was just doing what he was paid to do and didn't ask questions. Right now, the driver is suspended, not because he is suspected of anything, but because the owner wasn't too happy about getting a call from the police in the middle of the night.
