Kansas City, MO recently did the same thing[0], accompanied by the indictment of a tow operator in two different counties for falsifying state forms to make it appear as if the vehicles they had wrongfully towed had been towed according to the law, then abandoned by the owners, allowing for the operator to claim them.[1] While these are nice developments, arguably, it's worse than bank robbery; in much of the country (Kansas City in particular), if you're without a car, you're screwed. No doctor appointments, no school, no grocery shopping, no social life, no job. Treat it as such. If you take someone's car without permission, you should face a significant fraction of a decade in prison, per vehicle.
