Vehicle couldve been towed without $1 in damages.
Either the contracted tower doesnt have the right equipment or he is incompetent.

Ill guess both.

How do you move a car w/o wheels and not damage it? I dunno if audi has a real frame or sub frame. With a real frame, you could use a fork lift. A sub frame cannot, as the sub frame will dent. I learn this be trying to jack up my ex's Nissan Altima. I just put the jack any old where on the subframe as you can do this if with the real frame, and it dented in the subframe.

You put wheels on it, and cars have things called lift points, you use them.

If there are blocks in the way, how do you remove the blocks without the car falling.

As for wheels, sure you could buy some as the tow truck driver doesn't have a rim shop I don't think. The onus is not on the tow truck driver to remove a hazardous object.

Are the lift points not in the same place as you would put the jack stand? I don't know, just asking.

Yes they are, but there are a few different places you can lift a car from, under the a-arms (lower control arms) or under the subframe mounts in the front. The point is that the car should not have been dragged.

I think they should have bought a set of steel wheels from the junk yard and added them to the bill, would have taken one phone call and 30-mins.

I dunno if the tow truck driver would have done that. Some govt contracts are firm, fixed price. Meaning the tow truck driver would have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

black jealous that his WHITE neighbor has a nicer car than him. he stole the wheels and called to get the car towed.

He's not jealous. He's just excited that this time a BLACK MAN gets to call the cops on a WHITE LADY.

that's sad. I don't even know what kind of "approach" they could take to this.

They should see what their insurance company says, if insurance covers it, they may go after the city to recoup their losses in it.
