Vermont State Police

             I was called to investigate this and was shocked to find out the following. I still hold most of the Vermont State Police on highest regard but what happened Friday 10/03/03 changed my opinion of one of them. When a car is towed away for no reason from Interstate 89 Rest Area in Williston, you would believe that a caretaker of that rest area is the one that would call for the vehicle to be towed. However in this case we talked to the caretaker and he said the only time they would have a vehicle towed is when it snows. The family that this happened to were on their way home from having medical test done on their two year only daughter. They are forced to make this trip often and can't afford a new vehicle so they have to do what they can. I'm not talking about a couple that's on welfare or will take hand outs, the father works over 50 hours a week to support his family and the mother stays home to take care of her child. I want to give Spillane's Towing credit for only charging this couple the towing charge and not storage. The biggest question we have is why the police officer (Badge 236) didn't call the phone number left in the windshield with an note about what happened to the vehicle.
