If you contact the police or your insurance company, the first thing that will be asked is, "Did you SEE them damage your car?" If the answer is "no," it's pretty much over. Your deductible is probrably as much as the new part, and the insurance may not pay for it, as it's a six year old car anyways. The tower doesn't have to prove he didn't do it, and the yard-men are just employees and will say whatever will get you off their back. Means nothing, They probrably get a hundred damage complaints a day, about 99% of them false. I don't want to trivialize your damage, but cars are "supposed" to have 4 inches clearance, plastic scratches when a stinger is shoved underneath to the wheels, and stuff happens. It's a fast-moving business and there just isn't that much sympathy for one driver out of millions. I'm sure they didn't do the damage on purpose, it just comes with the territory. At least your car wasn't accidentally sent to the shredder. Yes, I've seen it.
