When my car got was stolen, I got it back with NO wheels, windows broken out, nothing left inside and the steering column busted. It was found in East St. Louis....blocked up on a side street.
I had a car stolen from me about 15 years ago when I was living in Charleston, SC. It ended up in Queens, NY all stipped down. Some shady tow company who had it sent me a bill for $1000+ about a year after it was stolen. I work for a lawfirm so, long story short, I didn’t pay them a dime (who would?) and got my POS car back.
