Back when I was in LE, a lot of operators would tell me picking up unattended stolen vehicles is almost as dangerous as repos. They never knew who might show up. It could be the owner who just wants their vehicle back, and doesn't want to pay the added tow/storage cost, or it could be the thief coming back to get rid of incriminating evidence. Please stay safe out there.

[@nickellingson7035]

Has to be a little unnerving when you load a car that's been stolen, suspect is on the loose and police are not there. Great job as always Ron and thank you for all you do

[@ssie_Jons-nbx52si]

I'm a Lady truck 🚛 driver for 44 years I love 💕😘💕 watching your channel because I've hauled everything but a tow truck 🚛 and looking at the ways you tow a lot of different equipments I'm sure 😃😊😃 I could of done 👍👍✅👍 good watching your channel. I enjoy every time you come on. May God Bless you all 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@mrenfilade7178]

Thank you for keeping our nation moving all those years, Lady Trucker!

[@alexray6044]

"Not that I'm concerned..." (locks doors immediately) haha I would have done the same.

[@dakotamiller643]

Locked doors only stop an honest person sadly

[@larrybrowning]

thank you for letting us watch them they are awesome Ron.

[@jaredlyons3453]

Love Love Love this channel and Ron you also inspired me to take a job driving a Rollback!

[@ryanlevis7532]

Love how you're handling that Challenger. Beautiful car!

[@brentboswell1294]

Looks like it was someone's pride and joy. Love muscle cars, but it's a bit tiresome that over half of them on the road are black on black and blacked out. I'll just stick out with my blue one... 💙

[@alanstant9356]

I agree, Ron. With what you guys do, I wouldn't think, just get it done and over with. God Bless you guys too.

[@jonathanbair523]

It is crazy... Some defense lawyer is going to have a field day with it.. No police = no chain of custody... Anyone could have got in that car and added or removed items from it...

[@dirtfarmer7472]

You all get some interesting work, burnt combine, stolen cars, skid steer in the woods, as many years as you’ve been in business I’m sure that there’s not much you haven’t done. Thank you Sir for this video

[@coriarkinson7660]

Short and Sweet .

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

That has to be the first Challenge ever stolen that was brought back to the owner in one piece. They aren't that big of a deal up here in the north. Judging by police chases from Arkansas and Georgia, black Chargers and Challengers make up about 60% of the vehicles in those states.

[@larrykessler3199]

Keys left in ignition cause he’s gotta get outta Dodge quick!! Ha

[@jjc4577]

I see what you did there

[@gatorgogo2742]

The police wanted the car recovered before the driver circled back and took it again! LOL

[@2DogsVlogs]

That happens a lot where I live in Australia. It usually takes a few days for cars to be recovered and that allows them to be taken again. They don't care because they know they are covered under insurance and the insurance companies pay out. Usually they do get recovered eventually burnt out.

[@heidikortman2534]

Appropriately, Ron, I was seeing "Lock down your car" ads promoted by the state of Colorado during this episode. Keep up all the good work, from a fan now in Colorado Springs.

[@adamt4742]

kind of a random question, but how do you like it in the Springs and how long have you been there? I'm looking to move out there next year

[@kylewagg5917]

Gotta love stolen recovery never a dull moment in the towing industry I drive flatbed in Canada I love my job

[@jakeschisler7525]

I was surprised the keys were still in the ignition. Quick and easy pick!

[@christopheroverton6368]

The ramps I loved we called them our Corvette/lowrider boards you be amazed at the times that lil inch are to helps

[@johnmarlow2887]

I had often wondered what they were used for whenever I saw them on the tow-truck. Now I know !

[@hamrad645]

Ron, another excellent video with certainly some potential complications and danger. May God continue to bless you and yours always.

[@llyodreeves4657]

Keep up with the good work Ron and team love watching your videos on KZbin God bless

[@donnamitchell7707]

You did a fantastic job Ron, even though it was a bit scary. I hope they catch the person who did it. Have a great day my friend, and God Bless. Stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️.

[@robt2151]

I recall working for a dismantler in south Wales. We were occasionally obliged to remove unlicensed vehicles from the public highway after the owners had received notice to move them themselves and had failed to do so. Many of them were not very happy about what we had come to do. Grab and go!

[@j.harrison88]

This is probably one of the easiest recoveries you will ever have. Love your channel. Stay safe.

[@Theoard-j7h]

Glad to see you back in action, hopefully safe and sound.

[@April8989]

I like your wood ramps! It definitely saves on the air dams.

[@adamd858]

Criminal logic: Steal a top 15 fastest car and then not use it to get away instead of ditch it somewhere and leave on foot …. I’m no expert, but this doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. Why not take the car and hightail it out of there?

[@m9ovich785]

Thanks Ron. So someone got a free Cooler with surprises in it.. It's a wonder that the Officer did not take it or check it out ?

[@mr_nimitz3006]

I spent the whole second half of the video saying to myself "but what about that cooler"?

[@rockinchairboogie3222]

Hey Guys, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. I'm in the Bootheel too but I really appreciate what you do and your work ethic.

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr Ron Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@susanowens6393]

I love it. It's the only one I watch. Love Ron the professional!

[@Brian75-ej5mn]

Awesome job and glad you were safe

[@tildasexton6069]

This is an awesome person to follow!!!

[@adairwilkinson6916]

The beauty of your vids Ron , is , it’s like being there, even though I am nearly 4000 m away. Best Wishes and Good Health. Roy W UK

[@Thirdbase9]

I think I might have had a polite conversation with someone in charge over at the Police Department about the lack of pertinent information given. Stay safe Ron and Company.

[@keithallen3119]

I was thinking the same thing. With the behavior of some people today that could have been a very unsafe situation for Ron. I understand the police are looking for the suspect but the safety of the tow company is also in their purview. Lesson for today, ask for the background on the call from dispatch before showing up to take the vehicle. Then wait for them to arrive to assure one's safety. Stay safe out there Midwest Truck.

[@markwhite1333]

Ron, God Bless you and family

[@royburgess4720]

I love what you are doing mat

[@m1cxf]

Well that was different as well as short, but sweet. I enjoyed this one just as much as your longer videos.

[@kens.3729]

Stellantis has previously Announced they will Cease Manufacturing the Challenger and Charger because of Extremely High Sale Prices and Extremely Low Sales. 👍

[@Murph9000]

I'm not sure if it would be the case here, but I've read that the "professional" car thieves will sometimes park a vehicle somewhere they think it might not be noticed, leaving it there for a while to see if it has a tracker and to let it cool off a little. I don't know that they would leave the keys in it, if they were doing that, as they don't want someone else to take it.

[@victorjeffers1993]

That would have made me nervous also Ron ! You stay safe out there !

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Interesting situation there Ron. Glad you got it loaded and out of there. Nice load Ron.

[@methaneman4045]

Given the assistance you provide for them, I’d’ve wanted the police on scene before I did anything. Hello from the UK

[@mekhianderson5159]

Love these videos! When it gets time can we see a video of how you paint and get your equipment looking brand new again please?!

[@matejšabec-y5d]

Nice video!

[@vasantharajan3636]

Hi man Good to see you love from India ❤😊

[@dennisfromoz6436]

Ron, you shouldn't go out in such a cold morning....noticed the frost on your chin in window reflection....ha ha , join the club ole friend on KZbin .cheers....another job well done. 👍

[@EXROBOWIDOW]

Well, that was a close up view of the asphalt!

[@NASBoogieTOC]

This maybe a simple job but this is the job that keeps the bills payed.

[@sonnicman]

In my area there’s sort of an unwritten rule. If the police ask you to pick something up. You don’t do it unless they are ONSITE. If it’s in a sketchy area you go to somewhere safer and meet you there. Then they can escort you in.

[@allenjordan5248]

Greetings from the Great country of Texas, Great Job Ron, stay safe

[@RonPratt]

I had the great pleasure of visiting the great state of Texas earlier this year. There was a tow show in DFW. I was at a dinner with some of the State Representatives and the Sheriff of the county was the keynote speaker. WOW...is all I can say. If the rest of our country would follow the lead of Texas, we would be a much greater country again, in my humble opinion. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@kendraallison7963]

One of my biggest fears since I started driving is having my vehicle stolen. None of my vehicles have ever been really 'flashy' until I bought my Challenger (2012 SXT). Because she does turn heads I don't daily drive her and she's garage kept with her windows up, doors locked and alarm activated (yes in the garage). I also park my truck (2000 S-10) nosed up to the garage door so it can't be opened to get my car out.

[@TimboWhite-w7b]

Good Morning There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir

[@BulletNoseBetty]

That Challenger is one sweet ride! (Although it does need a bath...)

[@t.l.robinson2162]

This was kinda dangerous. The suspect could have doubled back to the car.

[@Quacks0]

Maybe the thieves ran out of gas and then just dumped the car there where they ran out.

[@jasonkimball1694]

I’m sorry for ur loss Ron sending prayers to ur family

[@Dave-in-MD]

Huh?

[@JohnHallgren]

Um, what loss? The final message was from a subscriber about their loss.

[@tylers.6623]

Ron I hope you believe in the 2nd Amendment on these types of situations, Danger in the field on all aspects. God Bless you, your family and your buisness, from the heartland boys.

[@RonPratt]

Thankfully, I have never been in a position to have to rely on other means to protect myself. It is not uncommon though, for towing and recovery operators to run into scary situations. This one worked out fine. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@firechaser21]

I hope the police dept find who there are looking for.

[@ychunks3710]

Beautiful American muscle car and one of my fav one's

[@Winterwolf73]

You know, the funny part was that you were sitting in the car while the ignition was dinging with the key in it

[@llloyd4]

Thank God it wasn't over it's hubcaps in a ditch, that seems to happen to most stolen cars. You know, 'drive it like you stole it' has an origin. * LOL! *

[@jameschainey2343]

Good morning Ron I have noticed that you're doing a lot more growing when you on the ground 😅

[@13thcolony57]

It would have been a good thing to know about a suspect before you got there. But you didn't have any issues, so all is well. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.

[@markwhite1333]

I'm from California where we have far more car thefts than your neck of the woods. Beautiful cars are abandoned by their thieves. I agree, if that was my car, I would drive, and enjoy such a car. I owned an original but was a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. Great car, terrible engine. Most engines were good. This was a quirk. 😢😢

[@arthurbiringer5676]

An easy recovery!

[@normangallant9879]

Interesting tow

[@llyodreeves4657]

I love this channel

[@TheIcetemp]

Ron, law must be different there than here in FL. We couldn't and won't touch that car unless the police were there (or the owner). Mistakes do happen and you are liable as soon as you hook it.

[@AndrewHaverson]

The title isn't "challenging Challenger" so I think that's a good thing. God bless the MidWest family!

[@PetrolJunkie]

A sitatuion like that I would call PD and ask for them to check a plate or VIN for issues before hooking it up. A lot of those go to evidence lock up around here. We tow a stolen vehicle every two or so weeks and stolen motorcycles even more often it seems. Here, at least, if I give them the plate or VIN over the phone they'll run it and tell me whether they'll send an officer out. That tells me whether it's safe to tow. The bulk of them are usually parking violations it seems.

[@colinhoward74]

Strange that it had its keys in still ... unless it was stolen from a dealership ...

[@TheGraduateApple]

Quite the scary call since the perp is still loose

[@Dan-uv5lw]

Good morning from New Hampshire

[@imagseer]

Good job.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Very weird they left it unattended with the keys in it. Normally they have at least one officer hang back so the suspect doesn’t double back and drive away!

[@Hairpie69720]

I wonder if who ever makes towing supplies makes some or needs to

[@larrymercer3448]

Stay safe

[@ladygray4]

If the police dept wasn't there, I'd be worried if I had the right car or not! THAT would be awkward, lol!

[@JOHNBEA]

I have been away Ron, I take it Mike has left the company. Thank you.

[@RonPratt]

Mike left us quite a while ago, following the death of his father. He is working in their family business. We wish him well. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@JOHNBEA]

@@RonPratt Thank you for your informative reply Ron. I thought that Mike was one of the best, if not the best member of the tow team. My best to him and sorry for his loss.

[@timberwoof]

Six years ago while driving out to Colorado from CA, I passed a fire truck from Pueblo. They were going home after fighting wildfires in CA. I waved thanks as I passed. Are you going to send a wrecker out to East Tennessee? They could sure use your help.

Florida, Georgia, N & S Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama are all in need and in my prayers.

[@peacemaker2825]

nothing strange about abandoned stolen vehicles where i reside.

[@johnuhlig323]

Hello Ron, Is this an updated lightbar and arrow stick on this truck???

[@1984cablrrelf]

Run Forest Run.....

[@CalebBlackhand]

There is a reason you don't do repo... this is a close to such a call as it gets, and with a potential suspect on the loose. Would've been nice to know beforehand, to either bring backup with you or get the job done quicker (maybe both - like load and go with 2 points and the winch, and secure in a safe distance). Still, worked out, and aside from this risk was an "easy" winchout. Good job.

[@dorvinion]

I wouldn't expect a perp to come back...seems like it would increase the risk of getting caught.

[@CalebBlackhand]

@@dorvinion True.... but then, most perps are not really that big into common sense or logic (or they wouldn't even....) :)

[@rcatyvr]

Dilly-dally not lest the wolf finds you loitering when he comes back to claim his prize.

[@Premiumclipz24]

Whats even more strange is why you're not at mill subs you should be already 😊

[@cclngthr]

Alex is feeling somewhat ok. He has been tired more, which is caused by his kidneys not working as they should. However watching the channel has created interesting 1 sided conversations with him about what you are doing. This one created something he has heard in this area. Apparently he has heard conversations among other people that cars have been stolen a lot in the area. We really don't know how much he understands but he picks up everything and anything that is said around him. And he sometimes has an opinion about it.
