Police File #07-020891 - Missing Woman Found
2007-02-01?
February 1st, 5:30 a.m. - An attendant at the Buster's tow yard found an 85 year old woman inside a car after he scraped frost from the window. The car had been towed from the 2200 block Kingsway the day before because it was parked in a zone that doesn allow parking from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m.? Because of the frost on all the windows, no one noticed the woman inside.
The next morning at 5:30 a.m., the tow lot attendant was putting together a routine list of licence plates and vehicle identification numbers to give to police when the woman was discovered.? It`s believed she suffered some sort of medical ailment. She was taken to hospital by ambulance in poor condition.
scary... good thing that never happened to me when i used to do inventory at that yard. keep getting calls from the media today, wanting to interview my manager lol

This really brings my piss to a boil. How can you explain towing a car with a full grown adult inside it. What a negligent dumbfuck.

huh....that's a bit odd. ?maybe the lady was homeless and was living in her car. ?happens to a lot of seniors that can't afford housing. ?If she wasn't homeless...my guess is that she probably suffers from some stage of dementia, alzhiemers. ?Lucky to be alive that lady. ?Probably suffered from mild hypothermia.

The thing is most tow truck drivers are there for money. The quicker the tow, the more money they make. So many of the time the would tow a car without checking inside (as some don't put on the e-brake).
I have seen car dragged for a block. I have seen car towed on the drive axle on the ground. I have seen awd being tow on two wheels....the list goes on. Found a person inside a towed car is nothing to be sursprise of.
but glad to she is alive.....hope she can make a full recovery.

i just find it werid because the car must've been towed in the morning, since it was towed for the morning rush hour from 730 -930am, and it went through all day... (through the very busy rush hour from 3 - 5 pm when the lot is super busy, people walking in and out getting their cars) meanwhile nobody notice her until the next morning. it's also funnie for whoever found her, cuz doing inventory, we usually just get the vin number from the corner of the windshield... why would you scrap the frost for the car out of the blue (i assume that the lady is out and wasn't making any sound, may be i was wrong ) !?!?! Oh, so its all Police propaganda! The police probably called for that car to be towed!
no she was found in the granville street lot, the city of vancouver bylaw impound, meaning its' those cov bylaw officer who wanted the car to be towed off.. and i'm suprised that the officer didn't notice about the lady.. (while sometimes they call us a thousand times just to remind us there's a dog in the car?!?!) |

That is just sad! Poor woman must have been terrified....if she was conscious at the time. Poor thing! I hope she recovers physically and mentally from the trauma! Shame on the tow truck driver!  |

Shame on the bylaw officer for not noticing in the first place.

It's illegal to tow a car while someone is inside. I wonder what will happen to the tow truck driver.

Seeing as how there was a bylaw officer involved, the bylaw officer should go down for it, if anything.

Maybe having herself towed isn't such a bad idea? If the woman lied to sleep in the car in a parking lot or somewhere desolate, she would've been dead by now. Even in a parking lot, no one really cares if someone is sleeping in a parked car and is left there to die in the cold. That's the cold hard reality, but a man died on the subway and his corpse made six round trips around NYC before he was discovered dead. How different is this woman from that man who died on the subway? So in a way, it's not such a bad thing after all that she finally gets discovered.

Agree. i actually think it's more of the bylaw officer fault. they're the one who needs to walk around the car check both front and rare plates, check insurance, check if anyone is insdie before issueing a ticket and ordering a tow truck. they're the ones who needs to pick up the windsheild wiper and stick the ticket underneath it.. and as per the truck driver. COV only require them to make sure there's a ticket on the car before removal. of coures, i'm sure the truck driver wouldn't and shouldn't tow it if he knows thre's a person inside. but hey, if the COV bylaw officer can't see it.. then you can't really expect the driver to be able to see it. |

Thats very sad. I think she was sick even before this whole episode took place.
That explains why she was parked illegally.
Due to frost it would have been hard for anyone to notice if anyone is inside.
