    If the towing company loses the case... then they should give the student and all affected the $750k
  • @michaelcole2125
    Result: There was a meeting between the two parties. The kid ended up filing a countersuit against the towing company. Both parties agreed that neither case was going to go anywhere, and eventually they both decided the suits would be dismissed, and no monies exchanged hands. The tow truck owner said he fired a bunch of people and was trying to restructure the company and become "more involved" with it this time, but the media attention was making it impossible and he was losing business.

    this towing company has an F-rating with the BBB. They'll lose in court.

    It's getting harder to be a crook in some situations with social media!

    It's not slander if people are speaking their truths, regardless of how much attention this ordeal has now gotten.

    I had issues with this company when I went to WMU in 1995. Good for the student for taking a stand.
  • @TarqPick
    The lawsuit was eventually dismissed, for the record.
  • for people still commenting on a video from 7 years ago the case was closed and the towing company changed their name and almost went bankrupt
  • @DreamTheory1994
    the fact that this company has an F rating with the better business bureau that they are doing something like this doesnt surprise me.
  • @blaga2005
    Did you see their tow truck?? Their whole company isnt worth the 750k!!
  • @mattf49006
    that company towed a truck of mine about 10 yrs ago that was parked in a clients space in front of a empty condo they owned so tools and materials could be stored in it ...my vehicle had a visitors tag and approval to park there...next morning i had to deal with a guy with beer breath at the yard office who took 50 bucks and didn't ask for any paperwork from me everyone knows around here its a shoddy operation and its drivers are the best people they can find behind a 7/11

    I'd hope there is more to the story on both sides. It really is a lesson to be learned for both but the Tow Company didn't do themselves any favors with this type of publicity.

    That company is full of crooks. Everybody in the city knows it.

    Unless the kid works for the company, he has every right to complain on social media
