Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Star sleuth: Our reporter John Kessel worked as a tow truck operator over five week period to investigate shady operators. He saw how Metro's 100 or so modern-day pirates, highwaymen with a license, the bandit tow truck operators prey on the shocked and dazed motorists involved in accidents. Yet despite the yearly ripoff, there hasn't been a single conviction under towing bylaw.
