Every news outlet has reached out to me this morning. I got a grand total of 3 hours sleep, everyone was phoning me to tell me that it quite literally blew up. Was not expecting it.

Just caught the last half. Yea that double standard for businesses is a huge hole in the system.

Didn't see anyone from pnp. Did they make a comment?

PnP declined to comment and the tow truck company said it wasn't them that towed the truck to PnP.

Wow glad you got it back, who needs a chop shop when you can do it right in the open lol

[RickDaTuner]

This is pretty insane, I've sold old beater cars to pick n pull in the past, and brought all sorts of documentation to prove ownership.

I feel that the registries should introduce a dismantling title/permit, and PnP require you to obtain one before buying it...

I would be beyond angry if that were me.

Glad you have your car back, sorry for the damage and the missing parts.

Oh shit. Vape Dave. I didn't know that was your truck. Crazy! Glad you got it back. Skyline is gone?

Thanks, another case where "holy shit my laziness and don't care attitude towards my job caught up to me, better duck out"

Dave's vid on Facebook was great. Love when the lady tries to tell him they need to move the truck. "Fuck you" really was the only possible response in that situation.

Saw your story on the news this morning!
Pretty shitty stuff on the towing company and pick n pull. As if the system isn't already against the victim. Pretty damn lucky you got the truck back!

[The_Penguin]

Definitely a case of WTF? for sure. Glad to see it got some media coverage.

[RickDaTuner]

The media has really taken off with this story, it's all over my news feeds!

I wonder if this will lead to more stolen cars dumped at PnP, or more awareness.
Sadly it'll more than likely be the prior.

I kind of doubt it but I'm an optimist. I feel pnp might re-evaluate their policies a bit and I think people trying to ditch stolen vehicles are going to try to avoid them now that the heat is on.

A CPIC is a free search that takes about 5 seconds per vehicle so I bet someone is tabling that idea right now after all the bad press so they can come out with a statement saying "they've re-evaluated their policies and procedures and have implemented processes to prevent this in the future"

I just find it puzzling why they wouldn't have done this to begin with, did they choose to turn a blind a eye to legal ramifications on their part?

I kinda feel like CPS should audit them, I wonder how many stolen cars would be recovered.

I use cpic religiously now, after being burned when buying a broken but stolen vehicle.

Always sobering to be reminded how shifty people, and business can be in this city

A team of Beyond CSIers should go there, and record a bunch of VINs and run 'em.
