A man’s car was stolen from his home in Centerville, Ohio in March 2005. When the car was recovered and towed, the man began a long and contentious debate with the tow truck operator in Dayton to settle his bill. After paying an agreed-to bill of $96 for the tow, the man was notified that he owed $155 more for his towing bill. The towing company explained that if he didn’t pay his bill, they would call his employer who does business with the towing company. With pressure from his employer who received multiple calls, the towing victim paid the bill to get his employer off his back, even though he felt they could not justify the charges.
