Devil's advocate/benefit of doubt argument: The story quoted that this was a $70K car; Audi RS4s are a $70K car, cost about double that of a base A4. It is a very, very rare model (I have an A4, so I notice, and I have seen exactly one RS4), as not many people will pay double for what is essentially a $35K car. The point of this is that it has special RS4-only wheels that are probably not stocked at every dealer or regional parts distributor; perhaps the owner tried to get replacement wheels from their Audi dealer and was waiting for them to arrive.
In any case, the tow truck driver seems to have acted without due care and in a manner that a reasonable man would not have - legal jargon for irresponsibility. In Chicago, tow truck drivers (the kind that nab your car, not the kind that actually help you)are legendary and have a song written about their bad manners: "The Lincoln Park Pirates". Seems to be a national requirement for the job.
