I hope this link works. I saw on Facebook, and
found it on YT. She sure had an interesting
response to finding a tow truck hooked on.

Bravo to her!

What do you mean "Bravo to her?" How do you know she didn't park where she shouldn't have. Now she probably will be facing
theft charges and who knows what else. I hope it costs her big time!

Well, you do make a lot of sense. I better
think it out, again.

Do you not find it a little strange that the tow truck was in neutral?

Is it normal to leave a tow truck in neutral while hooking a car?

The couple times I've been towed, the driver
pulled the diamond / square yellow air brake
handle.

Yes, when you make a YouTube video. There are at least 3 or 4 shows on
TV based on this sort of thing. On one I watched some seemingly
incredible goings on happened, but they showed how it was all staged.

Hey, hold my beer . . .

I don't get Stormy **** but I will comment about the tow truck.

The ones I used had PTO units. So if one was to use the cables or hydraulics
it had be running in neutral. We had line locks which locked up the front
brakes and rears were set and chocked.

Same in fire trucks; gotta get power from somewhere. In pump training school
there was always someone forgetting to disengage the transmission and if not
chocked would start moving. A big indication of this was when the engine
throttle moved away from your hand to bring the pump up to pressure.

The question on the table is this:

Could a person climb into a hooked vehicle, drop it into gear and tow the
tow truck away as shown here?

With the vast majority today having automatics - in park - handbrake
on, and line lock engabed so all 4 wheel brakes are hydraulically
applied as well as the cable operated handbrake - AND in park

Sheesh. It was a front wheel drive car and the truck lifted the wrong
end. Golly gee. She drove away.

If the truck was in neutral with the brakes off, most definitely!!

Np, that WAS the question. The current question is "Could a person

When I was doing it the TT were stick and the line locks didn't use the
rears. I don't recall the line locks being on the rears on the auto trucks
so park and brakes were good. Long time ago...

This car should have been flat bedded. It probably had AWD and I bet
something was screaming, but then again, I could be wrong.
