| 850360 | 2010-01-21 01:56:00 | Hi, a while back we have a old car that was just parked in a property, it was stolen, towing company got it and we had to pay to get it back . We subsequently deregistered the car . A few days after it was stolen again . Some months later towing company gets hold of it as it seen driving (private sale) I think . Towing company contacts us and get us to pay . We don't as it is deregistered . We get letter from Baycorp . :help: |

| 850363 | 2010-01-21 02:19:00 | Rego or not, you still have to pay 'em if you own it. Trust me, you don't want to piss of towies, you'll find stuff missing from your car, new dents, etc. Insurance might cover it though. |

| 850364 | 2010-01-21 02:22:00 | It was reported stolen 2yrs ago with the Police. The car wasn't even used, no wof, no registration, it just there. They do have a lawyer they use for their work ..... |

| 850365 | 2010-01-21 02:28:00 | It doesn't really matter how much you used it, bottom line is, if it's yours, and you want it back, pay up, or it'll end up in a crusher somewhere, or a wreckers, or the local racetrack on derby night. My dad used to be the 2IC at one of the largest towing companies in the south island, so I know a bit about how it works :D |

| 850367 | 2010-01-21 02:37:00 | You surrender the number plates when deregistering so how did the towing company find you? One of the plate was taken off but the other was tight .
