A CBS 2 Chicago investigation found that AP Towing and Recovery caught more than 100 drivers in a towing scheme, with one victim charged $3,600 for a vehicle held less than 48 hours before the city shut the lot down, according to CBS Chicago. The investigation documented a pattern of predatory fees and unauthorized holds.
