We offered to load it on THEIR vehicle but amazingly enough they had a crane built right in cause that's what they do....Come on boys, say no when you need to. Get some bXXXs.

They actually did the box in maneuver to stop the chase, and the guy fought with them the entire time they tried to arrest him . Never came back for it, although we lost it in a flood at the shop. Gods honest truth , I have pictures of it on the rollback . To answer the question of how to get paid, wait the alotted time you have to wait for the release, and to the scrap yard I would go !!!! That crane looks great , and an awesome recovery tool ! Last Edited By: wstowing11 07/10/2008 21:03. Edited 1 time.

The boss called the state back and said we would not do it. They were over an embankment .It took the state a few days to get them out of there. NOT OUR PROBLEM. Sorry but I wont work for free. and niether will they. Richard Guttmann (SCHLIER'S Towing)

We have impounded numerous bicylces, mini scooters, double wide trailers for Las Vegas Metro. if we didn't others will just to get there foot in the door. A load of metal like Charlie had will at least pay in the end by sending it to the recyclers. Good job Charlie , no wonder you handle all of Baldwin park C.H.P.!

I'm the only 411 voice in our area, and sometimes I wonder if the other companies around feed off of it. But this is a great place to make friends and gain knowledge. And then when you see someone else, they always want to know why we received that call?
