Video shows the alleged fake towing car driver who steals the soca wife's car

An alleged fake towing car driver stole a woman's car in the middle of the night and everything was caught on video.

According to the owner of the car, who asked to stay anonymously, the brazen theft occurred on April 30 at 2 a.m. when her car was parked in front of her house.

The surveillance video shows the moment when the driver rises in the middle of the night, gets out of the pick-up and begins to look around.

Within seconds, he drives the car to a towing mechanism that is installed on the truck and drives away.

The owner of the car said that if someone sees a towing car like this, he may not think about it much about it.

“I was shocked because it looks like a repo type. He looks like a repo man and when someone was on the street and you have seen that someone is dragged to someone, of course you will automatically assume that someone is a car repod,” she said.

“That was not my case, my car was not repod. My car is stolen,” she added.

At the time she didn't know what was going on, so in the morning she immediately called the LAPD to see if someone dragged her car out of the city. They told them they hadn't done it.

“They told me I should call other towing systems. I called other towing systems. They told me they didn't have my car,” she said. “Then I panicked and I was told that my car was stolen.”

She submitted a police report and received a call from the California Highway Patrol on the same evening at 11 p.m. You found your vehicle on the 101 motorway near the Tampa output.

A number of engine parts were missing, the battery was stolen and the catalyst cut off and removed.

“It will be really expensive to replace this catalyst. I would never have thought that I would be a victim of my catalyst who was stolen from my car by a repo drag truck or whatever,” said the victim.

To insult injuries, she had to pay $ 368 to get her car back. She says the police are looking for the suspect, but they don't have much to do.

“I just want to let everyone know that they are only careful, they are vigilant here, they never know. Even if it looks like a repo person, it can be twice, but they just never know,” she said. “It's terrible. You don't know the life you destroy,” she said.
