This infuriates me
A towing company in Virginia Beach, Virginia, illegally auctioned, sold or trashed the vehicles and personal belongings of at least seven U.S. service members, including two cars owned by a Navy SEAL deployed overseas, according to a lawsuit filed April 15 by the Justice Department.
Government court documents allege that as early as April 2019 Steve's Towing Inc. began a pattern of violating the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or SCRA, which guarantees certain financial and housing protections to active-duty members, when the company failed to recognize military ownership of multiple vehicles and obtain a court order before putting them up for bid.

Those that were affected by this towing company, should file a civil suit against them, hopefully the DoJ comes down hard on them Lt Col Charlie Brown

As disgusting as this is you have to realize that SCRA is not at the top of towing companies list of laws they are intimately knowledgeable of. Vehicles don't get towed, impounded, and sold for no reason so something was not done properly by the servicemembers as well. I'd still throw the book at the towing company but would mention that mistakes were made while the book was flying through the air.
