I did scale a tow truck yard's fence once, before I went to 
the office, so I could check my car before confronting them. 
The car had been illegally towed - it was validly parked in 
my own company's car park.  No dogs on duty that day, 
fortunately.

Everyone knows that tow truck companies act like everyone 
who works there are scum. (Funny how false impressions can 
be created). Bad press at the public level doesn't hurt them 
much. And may get them some business. I had in mind those 
who may care about people effectively employing strong arm 
tactics in their city.
