Re: car theft
Unfortunately, they can. The legal reason is that, while the thief who stole your car did you a disservice, the towing company did you a service: they moved your car to a safe place. If you want your car back, you will have to pay them.
You should be able to get a reimbursement from your insurance company.
You should not take any action, based upon my advice, without consulting an attorney and explaining all the facts to him. You are best advised to seek the services of a competent Kentucky attorney. You can telephone your local bar association for a referral, or can find a good lawyer on-line at the Kentucky Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service:
