A Shop Is Charging This Guy $48,000 For Towing His Old Jeep
Joel Ramer and his girlfriend got stuck off-roading this old Jeep Cherokee on a powerline road in Walpole, Massachusetts last week. Seems egregious that he was arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace, but the $48,000 recovery charge is downright offensive.
It’s unclear whether Ramer got slapped with a trespassing charge aftercalling for help, or if somebody spotted and busted him while he was screwing around in the mud. And yeah, you can be jailed for that in Massachusetts.
But after Walpole PD rolled up on him Fox25 says the cops called what is presumably their go-to recovery outfit, Assured Collision, to pull the mired vehicle out.
After spending twelve hours on the job, Assured Collision lugged the Jeep XJ to their facility. Ramer went to collect it and was given a bill for $48,000 instead.

Ok few question for you Guys 1. When looking for recovery point (d rings and the such) what kinda weight rating do you guys use does it equal weight of vehicle or what? 2. On straps do you guys go off working load or actual breaking weight (say a 6000lbs working load also has a 18000lbs breaking load) also what brands do you guys buy looking for achor points and Recovery straps I got one in a kit for Christmas but it was only 12′ and had hooks on it so used on a ratch strap that was missing strap.
