Dept. of Public Works Adds Insult...Actually More Injury to Injury

ABC7 has the cringeworthy story of Chris and Mike Thompson, whose $70,000 Audi was vandalized on Thanksgiving Day. The entire wheel set was stolen from the car, which was left on the street on cinder blocks. The Thompson's filed a police report and were waiting for replacement wheels to fix the car, when, instead, the Department of Public Works sent a tow truck to literally drag the car — with the cinder blocks still underneath — to the impound lot. They were given a $250 ticket and paid another $120 to get the car back, now with over $20,000 in damage. The livid couple could only say, "They couldn't of run our tags, they couldn't of found us. They didn't try anything." Ugh.
