You want them to buy rims and tires for you or what? You abandoned your car and now it's stripped, how is that anyone's fault but your own? Or are you implying the tow company stripped your car? Tow companies can get as many tires and rims as they want, and for free, they don't have to steal from customers. I give tires away every day, there is no shortage. We can get buried in them in no time without stealing.

I can use a portable air tank, and a low rider floor jack, and snatch them in less than 5 minutes. Have locks on the wheels? I don't care. I have a set of lock removal sockets that work on 100% of the OEM and aftermarket lock-lugs. If anyone stops and questions what i am doing, I'll say "I am making sure nobody else gets these". The odds of the owner of the vehicle being the one to ask, are ZERO. A good working team of professionals can have your entire car stripped down to the subframe in that amount of time...right there on the side of the highway. NASCAR pit crews have nothing on those guys. Don't believe me? Ask anyone in NY. They have stripped down shells laying all over the place. You say it was there for 2 days. You admit it was broken into during that time. In reality, it was probably there for a week, just like the Trooper said. It sat there with an orange sticker(after 24 hours) on the window, and got towed. Thieves look for cars with that sticker. It doesn't matter who towed it, or where it was towed to. Tow companies operate on a "rotation". The Trooper called the derelict(proper term for an abandoned and damaged vehicle)in, and the dispatcher contacted the next tow company on the rotation list. There mat be a tow company 50 feet away from the vehicle. It doesn't matter. If the next one on the list is 50 miles away, that's who gets the call. They sent a roll-back, and hauled the vehicle back to their lot. A month later, you complain. Nice try. Try again.
