Toweled Woman Takes Caddy
In Spartanburg, S.C., 27-year-old Lakeisha Smith was desperate to save her Cadillac from a tow truck. On request, a police officer had accompanied the tow operator to collect the Cadillac from Smith’s residence.
According to the officer, as the operator was pulling the car onto the carrier, Smith came out of the house wearing only a towel and got into the driver’s seat. She started the car and gunned it in reverse several times until the towing cable broke.
With the street blocked, Smith drove the Cadillac through a fence at the back of the lot and escaped. The tow truck driver estimated the damage to be at least $500.
Officers were unable to locate Smith. Source: www.wyff4.com

Video Center Stage
Video has a place center stage in the towing industry, and I’m not just talking about TowmanTV.com. Some Savvy towers video tape challenging recoveries for two purposes; training and payment. An interesting seminar that will be presented at the Municipal Towing Conference in San Antonio in August will discuss how to prepare video presentations for the town and bids.
American Towman TV producer, Emily Oz is also a video junkie who wants your recovery videos. If you've got something interesting, email Oz@american towmantv.com.
