I don't know if it's 'illegal' to have a car with no wheels on the street, but but let's assume the city is well within it's rights to tow the car. Cars are towed regularly without wheels and there are specific devices to do this without destroying a citizen's property. This isn't some wacky out of the box situation that has never come up before. Imagine if you will, if a car is stolen and found by the police with no wheels, which happens pretty regularly. Do you really think they call up the owner and say "sir, we found you car undamaged except the wheels were missing, but then we caused $10k in damage towing it to the station." No, that's absolutely ridiculous, they use the correct dolly. This is simply an example of negligence and arrogance on the part of the tow truck driver. The fact that they did it in front of a TV camera so borders on the absurd, that I can only assume the driver just left from taking a couple hits with Marion Barry. I hope the driver's insurer is able to recoup the damages it is surely owed from the city.
As for the Fiero comparison, I could care less what kind of car it is. My 9k is probably valued by most people as much as a Fiero.
