[Tribune article that Lincoln Towing is being investigated by the Illnois Commerce Commission to see if it should lose its license.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-lincoln-towing-investigation-0226-biz-20160225-story.html)😛 The usual allegations are mentioned – people towed from unposted lots where the landowners don’t have a contract with Lincoln Towing – but also a shocking incident leaving one man with a compound leg fracture and another man stuck on a roof. :eek:

[Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Towing_Service) for background on how far back the shenanigans go. And for fun, Steve Goodman’s [Lincoln Park Pirates (from Youtube)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=389Rk1jzPMk).
