FIRST OFF, the pics below IS THE TOW TRUCK that TOWED my car.

He is the primary Suspect, but as always, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. This is the tow truck, the owner, was taken in to police, and Admitted to towing it, So do not come into this thread thinking im making False accusations.

The pics and videos that show the tow truck that some of you have seen has been postively identified, he was taken in for questioning, admitted to Towing my car, but as per the request of the "owner" to a mechanic shop in PoCo. So the police are following this trail of BS, and pulling his cell phone records of the same night.

Sounds very Shady to me, this is his statement in a nut shell.


" Yes I remember towing that car, it was very nice. I was called to that address by a person who claimed he owned the car, and needed it towed to PoCo. when i arrived at the car, there were no keys and the car was locked. I then called him back, asked where the keys were, and he said, sorry I lost them, I just moved, and I need it towed to this mechanic in PoCo near my house. The tow truck driver then towed it, to the address he requested, then commented, the business plaza where it went to had many mechanic shops in the plaza."

My questions would be,

Where is the receipt for this tow?

If he called you, then you called him, you have his number... what is it? ( guess with phone records it can be traced easily )

You knowingly towed a car, without proof of ownership, with no keys, so BS story?

When you brought it to "PoCo" you didnt just leave it near a mechanics shop, you had to have met someone right? I mean, someone paid you for this tow Right? you dont work for free? Who did you meet to get paid for this Tow?

The phone number on the side of the tow truck isnt listed. Isn't advertising any tow services, not online, not on craigslist, anywhere. the number is a ghost online.... How did this mystery person contact your unlisted number... calling a tow company from Vancouver, to tow a car in New West... to PoCo.... Makes perfect sense to me.

The police has a willfully written and signed statement, that he towed the car away, and dropped it off somewhere else, without verifying proof of ownership. Legally what can I do here? Im getting a lawyer.

and here are the pics of the incident/videos, and the suspects vehicle at a later date:

When the police questioned him regarding who payed for the tow, what did he say?

Are you able to tell us..

[EDub_]

I've seen that tow truck before, many times driving around richmond and vancouver. I thought I heard that Takada owned that tow truck or something. Under 5 mins to tow seems pretty crazy too. No call to the owner no doubt.

[MWR34]

When the police questioned him regarding who payed for the tow, what did he say?

The police called me after they questioned him, saying he did come in, and answered questions willingly, and providing a statement. If i was there, i would have asked all these important questions, which im surprised they didn't to my knowledge.

[MWR34]

No do not confuse takeda with this incident, to easily clear things, takeda doesnt have hundreds of orange lights on their truck.

takeda has always been good to me, so do not get them involved, the truck was a HINO, and not RHD. If that helps ease your mind.

Have they any whereabouts of where the car is yet? Did the police tell you what the tow truck driver say during the interrogation?

Police are probably following a dead lead to where the car might be...

No, no one but him knows where it went. I hope phone records show otherwise.

should hire someone to steal his truck

[zulutango]

Never seen a hook driver yet that would pick up or drop off a vehicle without cash in hand. He either gets money or credit card on the spot or the vehicle goes to an impound yard until he gets paid. They never drop off without money...they have been stung so many times that they either have the car or the cash. This guy's story, as you told us, sounds fake.

wow can't wait for updates. shouldn't be long now, i doubt the tow truck driver was the primary suspect though. probably a friend of the person who wanted your car for whatever reason, or just paid to do so

did he tow the car singlehandedly? i can't watch the videos for some reason

also why was your thread before deleted? at police request?
if so, you should watch some of what you're saying in here

And I have two people to thank to get it to this point, C-Unit and the help from Public Storage in New West. Not the Police.....

i understand your frustration but while this investigation is ongoing, that may not be the best idea

also, this is a HUGE hint as to where the car is (or was)

I see that truck all the time on mitchell island dropping off scrap cars
the owner is a shady looking black guy (no racist)

hopefully it hasn't been parted and shit
good luck man, looking forward to good updates

i've dealt with this guy before and has towed many cars for me even my own when i needed it. he's a good guy working hard to earn money. i'm pretty sure when the guys called him he probably believed it and asked no questions. so I don't think it was on purpose but more taken advantage of and he didn't think the wiser. stupid move to believe such crooks but he only means well.

also from the cars i've had towed, don't be surprised that your bumper or any lower part of your car is in good shape as he's also not tooo careful when dealing with low cars.

Wow thats awesome that you got a suspect and the tow truck...This being said your car is most likely long gone or parted or dismantled.. If your dealing with crooks such as these they will get rid of the evidence ASAP especially now that the black guy got caught and the heat is on.

Lets just hope they went for a nice joy ride and ditched the car somewhere for you to find eventually. Lets hope! Regardless i hope you take this situation by its balls and do everything you can to fuck over who ever did this. Goodluck!

How do you know him and from where did you get his contact information?

Chances are, Craigslist or a referral of some kind. There are many tow truck/independent operators who list their services on Craigslist. Whether they have an official license to operate and whatnot is a different story. While we don't know the original motive or intentions of the tow truck driver, it would be quite the unfortunate situation to be in for somebody who is assumed to be hard working and honest.

[JSALES]

glad to hear you got some more info, hopefully your car turns up soon

[InvisibleSoul]

None of you guys remember what I posted up in the original thread before it was deleted?

I linked to two past articles where this EXACT same thing happened.

Basically any shady person running a "towing service" can go steal cars with little fear, because even in a case where they get "caught" and identified, they just claim that someone saying they were the owner told them to tow it someplace.

Case #1: http://www.bcsportbikes.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13712

I ran to the security office to ask around and a guard told me that he saw it getting towed out of the stall and out of the bcit parking lot , 45 minuites earlier. I called the tow truck company that he saw take my bike away MUNDYS TOWING and they told me this,,,,,"A GUY CALLED AND SAID HE LOST HIS KEYS TO HIS BIKE AND HE NEEDED IT TOWED". I then said,,"DID YOU NOT ASK FOR I.D. YOU JERK OFF,,,THAT WAS MY FU*KIN BIKE YOU PRICK.". And i called the cops to report it. The COP finaly came a half hour later and we then proceded to drive to the location of the drop off. 5 minuites before we got there,,,aparently the jack ass who got the bike towed called again to get it moved again ("so they say"). But MUNDYS TOWING informed him that it was now a stolen bike and the cops were on there way. OBVIOUSLY the thieve didn't stick around to welcome myself and the cop to where he had the bike droped off. We got there and my precious baby was standing there in the sunshine untouched with the disc lock still on it.

Case #2: http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/westcoastnews/story.html?id=0e8ae7c0-3273-463d-b67d-495a131b679a

It was gone.

"So I canvassed the neighbourhood," Rick said, "and one of the neighbours said she had seen a red tow truck towing it away, and she remembered the first three or four digits of the company's phone number on the side of the truck."

Rick recognized the phone number. He had once worked for a car company, and it had used the towing company's services regularly.

It was Mundie's Towing, Storage and Service Ltd. Rick phoned Mundie's. He asked them if they had towed his car away. They said, yes, as per the instructions of the car's owner.

Well, Rick told them, he was the car's owner and he hadn't told anybody to tow it away.

Where, he asked, had they towed it?

To an address in Surrey, Rick was told, as per the instructions of the, um, owner.

So in this case, they did in fact sue the towing company...

So, Rick said, he and his father approached Mundie's for compensation. Between labour estimates and receipts for parts, they estimate the worth of the car to be anywhere between $35,000 and $38,000.

And what, Rick was asked, did Mundie's offer in return?

"They had offered us," Rick said, "what I'm going to say is an unreasonable amount. That's when I decided we had to go before a judge."

The Charbonneaus filed their notice of claim on April 27, 2006, and framed their cause of action under "conversion" -- which, if Wikipedia has got it right, is "where defendant's unjustified wilful interference with the chattel" (that is, property) "deprives plaintiff of possession of such chattel."

In other words, the Charbonneaus were saying, Mundie's interfered with their property by towing away their Beaumont.

A civil matter, it went before Provincial Court Judge Thomas Woods in New Westminster in July of this year. The case, to a great degree, centred around the question of conversion.

On Aug. 21, Judge Woods rendered his decision, in which he described the person who instructed Mundie's to tow the car away as "a rogue."

"The rogue's identity is not known and the vehicle has never been recovered," Woods wrote.

To distill Woods's dense (and, to me, headache-inducing) disquisition on conversion and the case law informing it, he sides with the Charbonneaus.

"Counsel," Woods wrote in his decision, "may contact the registry with a view to arranging a date for continuation of the trial of this matter for the purpose of addressing any issues that have not already been addressed in these reasons."

In light of the judge's decision, Rick hopes that the case can be settled before it goes back to small claims court. Since it is small claims, the most he and his father can get in compensation is $25,000.

Once you mentioned that a towing truck had taken your car, this immediately came to mind... I knew I remembered hearing about towing trucks stealing cars before.

Good luck.

[hotong]

^ w0w that is brutal

[Jun_Y]

How do you know him and from where did you get his contact information?

he came by handing out business cards to shops when i was still working at cannonball in new west. we used him quite a few times to help bail out customers when they had trouble with their cars to bring to our shop or even helped us in transporting cars to and from places for work. his prices are pretty good compared other big name towing companies such as drake or busters and such. Like the OP said, he's the o/o of the truck and that's all he does for work so he'll take any job if he can do it. No matter what time it is, if he picks up, good chance he's up for hire.

[MindBomber]

Just as an experiment, I might call Mundie's towing and see if they'll tow a car with no I.D., proof of ownership, keys or cash in hand..

[Mr.Money]

yeah he's handing out business cards to legit company's for work to make it like he's making "Clean money" then working with Car theft's on part time.

Handing out cards to shops is no way fishy... and independent owner operators are understandably cheaper than the big towing companies.
Just like in a ground level office, you always have random independent sub-contractors advertising their services from door to door - be it welders looking for work or experienced drafters and CAD detailers.

well i'm not going to waste my time trying to tell you off through this forum cuz its not only off topic but also pointless and you're hiding behind a damn computer saying this making you a fucking pussy.

i'm not defending the guy in any means as im saying i've just dealt with him on more occasions than once. The guy has gone through most of the lower mainland handing out his cars to mainly shops not to the general public as my other colleagues and acquaintances know of or used his services in the past. Some of these ppl are shop owners that some of you have visited via this forum or other.

Be it he's a crook or just plain stupid, evidence will prevail if he is guilty of this act.

my personal opinion is that he IS stupid enough to be gullable to do this.

[Roach]

MWR34, I suggest you contact a lawyer and reference the above-mentioned case as a precedent to what has happened to you.

I can't say for sure whether the owner/operator of the tow truck is implicated in the scheme, however, he has to be held liable for his negligence in towing a vehicle without sufficient paperwork.

If not, I forsee this situation happening again. Collect as much information as possible. Contact a lawyer and perhaps involve ICBC as I'm sure this situation would be of interest to them.

And finally, I would avoid making comments or posting photos of the tow truck operator until you have consulted a lawyer.

Still hoping you recover your car.

Like i told you clowns I've had cars towed all the time without any proof of ownership. The only time they ask for ID is if you pay in credit card. You pay cash and your good.

I've never once been asked for ID or proof of ownership either and also had cars towed to my garage that does NOT look like a legit shop. Kinda scary now that I think about it! lol
Mind you I've always used legit companies and not individually owned trucks. I have been with my car's during all the tows both pick up and drop off however. I've never called and instructed from the phone without dealing with the tow truck driver.

Berz out.

"Hi Prince Nkulu towing?

I've got a Gallardo parked @ my friends house by Whytecliff Park could you tow it to my garage by Oppenheimer Park for me?

I can't pass you my keys atm because we're up in Whistler just leave it on the side of the road and i'll deal with it and pay you when i get back.

Okay? sweet"

[Lomac]

For what it's worth, out of probably two dozen times I've had a car towed, I've only been asked for ID once. Tow truck drivers rarely bother verifying you're the actual owner of the car. Then again, sometimes you can't actually verify you have the right to have the car towed because 1) you aren't the registered owner of the car, or, 2) you're unable to produce the registration slip because it's locked inside the car along with your keys.

lol what a joke, cops cant track it down after buddy obviously knows where he towed it to, who he towed it for, etc.?

[orange7]

what's your next car?

[MWR34]

I probably won't get paid out for a week or two, but I'm not concerned about the money right away, I have four other cars to drive. I might invest the money rather then put it into another money pit.

smart man

[The_AK]

So what happens if the car does get recovered say 5 months to 5 years from now?

[MWR34]

If the car is found locally, months or years later I believe ICBC will theft recovery auction it to dealers depending on the condition or pieces it's recovered in. And since I have gotten paid out a long time ago, I no longer own it, and I probably never hear of it again unless an icbc parts dealer spots it and let's me know. I'm not sure the procedure, I've never dealt with a vehicle theft that wasn't recovered.

[twitchyzero]

sorry to hear..hope the payout is fair.

[MWR34]

Days away from a Payout. All I can say until then, reciepts are KEY.

[StylinRed]

its been more than 22 days now, I have to settle with ICBC for my payout. Since the police couldnt recover the vehicle.

aw i missed this update


:/


that sucks hopefully you don't get too screwed

the tow guy might've actually towed it for somebody, but doesn't want to "rat" him out knowing there's not enough evidence to convict himself or the guy that called him to do the job.

all i can say is dont trust your surroundings. your friends, of all people, probably know where you keep your car, what kind of security devices are on it, what time you sleep, when and where you're at. im not pointing any fingers, but as a hypothetical example, i was on GTRCanada before and noticed some complaints about transactions made between C-unit and some other members. with all relationship stigmas aside, if a person ripped someone off once, compared to a total stranger, how much more likely is that person going to rip someone else off again?

Why do people not like talking about their wage / icbc pay outs or anything really related to receiving money?

I dont care how much the OP got, im just curious as the why the general populous dont like sharing that kind of info,

does it really matter?

[bensta]

it's a respect thing as far as im concerned.. its like asking a girl her age when u first meet her. bad idea..

I could care less if the entire world knows how much i make a year, what i payed for my car or how much my apartment is worth. Thats only my opinion though, to most people it is a very personal and sensitive subject. For that reason, unless you have been told otherwise, it's best to assume thats information that a person rather not share. Especially in the environment of a forum.

MWR34, I suggest you contact a lawyer and reference the above-mentioned case as a precedent to what has happened to you.

I can't say for sure whether the owner/operator of the tow truck is implicated in the scheme, however, he has to be held liable for his negligence in towing a vehicle without sufficient paperwork.

If not, I forsee this situation happening again. Collect as much information as possible. Contact a lawyer and perhaps involve ICBC as I'm sure this situation would be of interest to them.

And finally, I would avoid making comments or posting photos of the tow truck operator until you have consulted a lawyer.

Still hoping you recover your car.

Kev

I completely agree..., this tow truck driver should be held responsible. If he took the vehicle without paperwork that is out and out theft. No matter who he says told him to. Either he gets charged with theft or he gives up the name..., and he has a name. I have NEVER seen a tow truck take a car without paperwork and without money..., NEVER! by paperwork I don't mean an ID, as that is useless, I mean a request to tow...,

[MWR34]

New Update.

Even thou I got paid out in March, I got a call today from ICBC.

Turns out, there is a new adjuster on my file, who overlooked the file, and felt something wasn't right. ICBC has now decided to hold him Liable, taking him to court, and they said the towtruck has filed a counter-suit against ICBC. Which they felt is quite suspicious....

So I was told to keep my pics, build threads, and full history etc about the car. They said this was a special case, and has drawn attention regarding tow trucks and their responsibilities. Might need to appear in court on ICBC's defense.

Whatever it takes to keep our cars safe:), and they said they are still looking for the car since I showed interested after payout to get it back.

[1exotic]

so it was the black guy all along eh? lol.

[RevRav]

Keep us updated on the court date.

I hope ICBC wins. I have little doubt in my mind that the tow truck guy outright stole the car. Just finding him liable is better than nothing, but ideally he would also be charged with grand theft auto.

So... What'd you get for your car?

well sorry i don't remember the last i saw his r34 conversion >_>

[twitchyzero]

pretty sure if someone stole an ultra-unique car in Vancouver they wouldn't be stupid enough to drive it around.

[- kT]

^ well you never really know, right?

[MindBomber]

When you see the tow truck driver in the court room, ask him how he felt when he popped the hood and realized it wasn't a real R34 :troll:
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[MWR34]

If he did it or not, that's not for me to say... everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

ICBC feels thou, there is enough evidence to have him accountable for his actions, being in his "professional position".

There probably wont be updates on this for a few months, except sometime soon when I serve him my own Court documents for small claims. Video recorded... in HD.

* mistake number 1 - This happened on January 2nd, at 2:30am.

Claiming you were celebrating New Years Eve and watching TV with family, then deciding to answer some calls, getting particulars at 9pm, then leaving after midnight.... this would make it January 1st 2:30am.... Big hole in your cover story Brah.... Get the Days right.

* 2 - I went to pick up an Old 1989 Nissan Skyline .......... I dont know why they are talking about an exorbitant amount of money, I dont think its worth more than $800.00 ( blue book value)

Does my car look like an 1989 Nissan Skyline? does it look OLD? does it look WORTH $800?

*3 - his original statements which he now claims he got some answers that contradicts himself, is, now involving another towing company. his first stated, which I mentioned before is, he got a phone call, went to the vehicle, realized there was no keys and a way in, then called that number back, and asked why, he said he just moved and lost the keys, so he towed it without verifying ownership or asking for ID. Now his story is, Horizon towing called him 2 days before, and he towed it to an address a day before it really happened... Hmmmmm...

[NSX]

Ive ran into El-Auazzani ABDERRAMAN before in my line of work. Hes a piece of trash, and has been arrested before.

[Nlkko]

That's horrendous English for a formal statement.

[RevRav]

I don't think the car is worth more than $800.00 (blue book value)

To me this man is like a brother; no more than a brother

I'm not going to act on frivolous statements like saying there's something rishy going on in Denmark, nor am I going to be the Patsy (an American saying).

Who bought the last battery, etc?

Why anyone would want the car in the first place is beyond me - is it a collectors' item?

Actually, it does make a legal difference. If the business is registered as "Limited", that's what has to be written, not "Ltd". I didn't find out about that until my Chartered Accountant told me that was the law because I wrote a cheque to him with Ltd instead of Limited.
