As the title says, my car was broken into and rendered undrivable while the kid tried stealing it. Had the tow show up, he hooks it up and gives it a hard pull with it in park and the ebrake on, his buddy told him to stop to which I sighed in relief, but he proceeds to disengage the ebrake and pull my car with the transmission in park onto the flat bed, the front wheels were literally locked in place. My question is, can this damage my car?
Edit: it’s a 2022 Kia Forte, it has an immobilizer and the ignition cylinder is broken, that’s why it got towed.
This sounds like incompetence from the tow guy, there are ways to put it in neutral.
If the tires were still locked up (or one turning backward) while it went up and you didn’t hear a big snap you should be fine.
He was honestly super nice! But that doesn’t go a long way if you don’t know what you’re doing and possibly damaged my car.
