My question involves a towed vehicle in: North Carolina
Back in September my boyfriends car (it is in both of our names) was parked in front of his house on the street and hit by a drunk driver. She did substantial damage and the police officer that came out called a local towing company of his choice to tow his car. Mind you, both cars were towed to different places. My boyfriend didn't take much out of his car before it was towed because he's never been in the situation and didn't understand things could possibly get stolen although they aren't supposed to. The local towing company that towed his car towed it to their lot that they said was for cars that the police asked them to tow. This towing company is one of the top towing companies in our town and they have plenty of money, where their main office is and where they keep their trucks is on lock down. They have a new fence with barbed wire, bright lights, cameras, the whole 9. The lot that the boyfriends car was towed to was not locked I think (not positive) it has a raggedy fence with large holes in it, anyone can get in on one side of the lot.. There are no cameras and it is very dark. Anyways after the car was dropped off that night someone broke in the lot, stole his tires and rims, damaged his brake calipers because they used the jack in his trunk to get the tires off. They stole everything from gps to car seats and light bulbs from the inside of the car and trunk. The towing company had left the keys to the car on the cars hood which left it easily accessible and these thrives had a field day with his car. He has contacted them and their two of some sort said they aren't responsible because of some garage law. Is there anything that can be done? This happened in North Carolina back in September.
Also a key note in this is that he didn't have insurance on his vehicle but all the damages were covered by the drunk drivers insurance so we can't file the stolen items on our insurance.
