Virginia Tow Truck Drivers Still Scumbags

Chesapeake Virginia is apparently full of people who won’t pay their personal property taxes on their cars. And now the city is stealing peoples’ cars for non payment of taxes. Where is a good mob when you need one?

From HamptonRoads here:

Patrick Joyce’s daughter walked out of a Walmart with her baby last Sunday night and watched as her car was towed.

Another family’s car was towed after football practice at 8:15 p.m.

A woman’s car disappeared after she left it at a service station overnight, leaving her wondering if it had been stolen. It, too, had been towed.

Those residents all knew their personal property taxes were overdue, but they weren’t ready for another $230 or more tacked onto their bill, and they didn’t think they’d get towed after hours or on a Sunday.

At the start of the month, the city launched a boot-and-seize program to collect more than $10 million in delinquent taxes over six years and sent a list of about 17,000 plate numbers to Virginia Auction, the contracted company.

Chesapeake is a crappy place to live already. Now they are depriving citizens of property without due process, employing scumbag tow truck drivers to steal vehicles. Here is an older story where a Virginia Two Truck driver kidnapped a child.
