Q: Is there anything that can be done legally?
I got a car from a private party. It wasnt in my name yet, and was uninsured.
I let someone borrow the vehicle and they never returned.
I was able to track my phone that was left in the vehicle to the private residence of the towing companies owner on the side of the road, accessible by the public.
It was found with stolen license plates, and the interior panels removed (dash panel, console, rear console, driver seat panel)
And if anyone has installed aftermarket radios in any vehicle, those wouldn't just pop off in a wreck
It was not behind any sort of gate or even under surveillance as I was able to access my vehicle without anyone approaching me.
I later came to find out that my vehicle was used to transport hefty amounts of illegal drugs and the tow truck driver himself was requested by name and also was told by a mutual friend that the girl returned to the vehicle after it was towed to retrieve the drugs from the vehicle. is there really nothing that can be done?
A: You could possibly sue them but there is no point suing someone who doesn't have any money.
