Actually, very few towing companies are responsible for what happens to your
car.  Having been towed myself, and trekking into the ghettos of Atlanta to
retrieve it, i was given a slip which stated that no damage had been done to
my car, and furthermore that if any damage had been done, the company had no
liability because they didn't decide to tow my car.  Apparently, whoever
makes the decision to ahve your car towed could possibly be liable for
damage, although i'd be willing to bet that in the end you'd be paying for
anything all by yourself...
