I was wondering if anyone knows the local towing frequencies used around Blacksburg and Christiansburg Virginia? In particular do you know if the towing service called Valley Towing uses radios? I've searched the FCC database several times and can't find the company on there. Do you know what else I can do? Would they be under the county, or listed as a business?
This is my reason if anyone is interested.
I'm a Virginia Tech student here and regular scanner listener as well. One of the major problems we have around here is a predatory towing company called Valley Towing. They take advantage of the town's problem with lack of parking. However it is obvious that they mostly prey on college students and apartment lots considering their storage lot is 15 miles away in the neighboring town Christiansburg and I always seem them around here in Blacksburg.
I see them drive through my apartment complex and neighboring complexes looking for cars to tow almost every evening around the same time. They almost got my car last year which is why I keep a close watch on them since they tow cars illegally sometimes (and have gotten in police trouble as well as sued in the past) and won't hesitate to tow cars that are even an inch on the painted parking line.
I leave my scanner on "close call store mode" whenever I can but haven't had any luck yet.
I was just wondering if they used radios I could listen in on and learn where and how they operate ect .
