HE WAS VICTIMIZED TWICE.
ONCE WHEN HIS CAR WAS
STOLEN.
AND AGAIN WHEN HE HAD TO
PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS
TO GET
HIS STOLEN CAR BACK...
AFTER IT WAS FOUND. NEWS
13'S MADELINE SCHMITT IS
HERE WITH THE STORY.
MADELINE...
DEAN AND JESSICA, IT'S
HAPPENED TO THIS MAN
BEFORE. SO HE THOUGHT HE
KNEW WHAT TO DO TO AVOID
FORKING OVER MONEY TO A
TOW COMPANY. BUT IT
STILL DIDN'T WORK.
DONNIE FRANK WOKE UP
LAST TUESDAY TO A
DREADFUL SURPRISE. HIS
CAR... GONE FROM HIS
DRIVEWAY. LAST TIME THIS
HAPPENED TO HIM -- HE
GOT SLAPPED WITH A BILL
BY THE TOWING COMPANY
THAT RECOVERED HIS CAR.
THIS TIME AROUND, HE
WASN'T GOING TO LET THAT
HAPPEN. SO HE CALLED
ALBUQUERQUE POLICE.
...
"I gave her my cell
number, I told her I
call me when you find my
car, I will come and
get it, anytime, day or
night"... BUT ON
THURSDAY, WHEN HIS CAR
WAS FOUND, THAT DIDN'T
HAPPEN. THE CAR TURNED
UP NOT TOO FAR AWAY,
ILLEGALLY PARKED AT AN
APARTMENT COMPLEX. THE
COMPLEX CALLED
ACME TOWING, WHICH TOOK
IT TO ITS SOUTH VALLEY
YARD -- THEN
ACME CALLED POLICE TO
CHECK IF IT WAS STOLEN,
PER LAW. AT THAT POINT,
FRANK ALREADY FACED 165
DOLLARS JUST IN TOWING
FEES. FIVE DAYS LATER,
HE GOT A CERTIFIED
LETTER FROM ACME
SAYING THEY HAD HIS CAR.
ADD IN STORAGE FEES AND
TAX.... FRANK
HAD TO PAY 318 DOLLARS
TO GET HIS CAR BACK.
...
"I understand that auto
theft is a for- profit
business for the thief,
but it shouldn't be a
profitable business for
a towing company" ...
ACME'S OWNER TELLS NEWS
13 HIS RATES ARE
REGULATED BY
THE P-R-C -- AND THAT HE
AGREES, THE WHOLE
SITUATION ISN'T
FAIR FOR THE VICTIM.
IT'S AN ISSUE SENTATOR
GERALD ORTIZ Y PINO HAS
PREVIOSULY TRIED TO GET
THE STATE TO STUDY.
...
"it really shouldn't be
the victims who have to
pay for this" ...
...
"It's like a double..
double whammy"...
A-P-D SAYS WHEN A STOLEN
CAR TURNS UP ON PUBLIC
PROPERTY, OFFICERS
IMMEDIATELY CALL THE
OWNER. BUT SINCE THIS
WAS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
AND A TOW TRUCK GOT TO
IT FIRST, THE
RESPONSIBILITY WAS ON
THE TOW COMPANY.
JESSICA, BACK TO YOU.
OKAY MADELINE. SO WHY
DON'T TOWING COMPANIES
CALL POLICE RIGHT AWAY
TO SEE IF AN ABANDONED
OR ILLEGALLY PARKED CAR
IS STOLEN? THE OWNER OF
ACME TOLD US HIS
DRIVERS DON'T HAVE TIME
TO WAIT FOR AN ANSWER
FROM
POLICE.

Okay
girls and guys
Ladies and gentlemen girls and tough boys. This is Eli_Maagic. Thank you for tuning in I just finished another video and
I'm excited to finally show it so without further ado. Let's watch this [poo]
Welcome to car vlogs ladies and gentlemen. Today, We are going to none other than for drum roll, please *doesn't say*
Let me give you guys a quick little story time ;3
Be me one year ago
Be me one year ago. Here one year ago with really adventurous and crazy friends. So we're actually on a double date
We're on Day [one]. Oh
by the way
I had actually recently just gone to this hotel a few days ago on a double date is why It just freaked me out
right now let me actually get [some] me out of the way okay, so
Truth be told I know we got to think
Yes, I went on a double date to hotel. It wasn't a regular hotel
Let me just tell you that it wasn't a where. You don't think of me. Come on. Come on guys
It was abandoned back in 1985 or abandoned back in the 1990s or 80s
so um
right
That's a good question right right right there be a question [were] there on double date crazy people crazy friends good time
And I recorded videos of it. I think I have it on my old phone
Oh my God anyway, so we're there and we go in there. You know. We're basically like
Poking at each other's uh manhood to see who's Gonna go in first and of course me being me oh
I ran in person is your comeback am I right don't do that. Don't do that
We're going to get it there could be crazy people there. I want to go straight into the hotel like
Let's give this scope around first
Like being around or whatever so we do
Okay, this is a super important part right you guys need patience because this is going to be important
And I'm quizzing you at the end. We're at the neighboring
Facility and they have ambulances outside, so we're messing with the ambulances, and I'm like yo, what's up with it
I thought I heard something in them. I'm poking at it and stuff and
this girl this girl over with
actually picked up a rock and
Throws it at the ambulance, and I'm pretty sure I can't remember now
There was like a rural alarm that was going off and only you don't know
Half an hour later were explaining the next part of the hotel. We're almost done here. Yeah
so
So there's some other voices right and then we see some flashlights
And then we see these guys coming up the stairs and so my immediate thought is okay. We separated as a group
There are two flashlights coming up. Let's hide behind this wall and scare them
so riding behind a wall and
um they're coming up the stairs and
Right before I have [non-caring] right before I'm about to jump out and freak them out this guy walks by and it's a police officer
There's a police officer walking by the car. I [buy] that by the door, and I'm like oh my they're like
Okay, so I'm with my girl right and Michael
We're like Dead quiet here, and they're walking by looking for you
And there's no way to get out without them seeing us because they're right there
There's nothing like coming up the stairs and I point window broken window
Get through it now
so we get out through the broken window and
We crawl down onto the roof the lowest part, and there's this one section that goes in that it's in yeah
there's like a whole mouth we go inside [that] hole and the police are still walking around and we see them and then
All of a sudden we see their flashlights right there's last night coming by and they're coming closer
You can just hear their footsteps honestly. I didn't know if this is going to fall underneath me, so I'm like okay
Do that they're going to come after us
It's going to happen there comes. That's it that's it and I'm like okay. They can't see us right now
Don't retreat get on action. Just one come on. I down the tree. I'm like come on come with me now
You have to do it now you [have] [to] do it now. We're gonna Die if we don't
okay, not die, but I don't know I [have] a
Graduation okay. See you do not then they're breaking girls hearts, Sam. I feel for WJ then we get down [tree], and it's [winter] right
But it's temperature [like] you like it's Windy
And then [it'll] stop in and then [Twin] [D] and when it stops it's dead sighs
So the cops are walking by and we're on that tree
then we're climbing down in the middle of it whether the windows in silence, and this one moment of silence it stops [and]
I think I'm getting down and she's gained out and a branch snap and I'm like [oh] soup, man - bro
It was so bad, [so] [I'm] like come on come on
Let's go as do we get off um we get go to the other stuff in the street?
And we're hoping that maybe they got out - because we don't know we got separated
We're waiting at the corner stop for a bit and the costumes go back over there
they're talking [to] our buddy concert back to us and
We see them, and they're talking the concert is like. Oh there. They are and I'm like no, I wouldn't have oh man
They were talking to the cops and they said oh there. They are
Yes, come on and your nights ruined, or what everyone else crazy though like that was the most intense thing ever
We totally give them fake names and everything which I feel like a terrible person
I think I did. I think I said you know I've been giving people fake mean since I was in like Middle school
it's one I
Made before that. I won't put this on the vlog I know I shouldn't know we were going to this place
I would have brought more gear. I wouldn't have looked so cute now. You want a series of annoying oh
No way not your way that hotel
Won't like they're good for the water. That's the thing like water doesn't get in and it's been raining. I'm sure of that. Yeah
I'm sure I've had these for like a while
Okay, my story, [okay]?
[so] we have to have like a little bit of a back story to this perfect know my mom
She has a younger brother and he can see
sexually
so he can see spirits or ghosts or whatever you prefer to call them and
We recently found out that it. Oh my God is that it? Oh my God all right?
Wow, that is so lucky that I looked at that exact moment. Yeah
Okay, so my mom my mom's brother
[she] goes and we recently found out that I'm kind of like whether I got it from him, or whether I just have it
I'm like kind of
Like sensitive to that. I don't like that um yeah, I am
kind of sensitive to be kind of like I guess their energy and
So she told me well like you have to be careful because they know
They're attracted to it. So [the] [following] Sia is a maternity center, and there's kind of like a
Tunnel where the ambulances would read through who walked through it
And I heard whispering at the time it's my mind like I'm kind of just like you know already making up stuff
But then I realized we never said that [the] hotel is haunted never really thought it was a scary at all
The only thing I was fishing about was like a hobo jumping out at me here. We saw hobo. She was scary
But um it kind of seems like it was talking to me, and it was like a woman's voice
And I thought it was very like it wasn't like any it wasn't like a big son of a bitch is like something quick
But after after I heard it I got like super scared because um we heard rattling against the fence. It was just
Oh, okay
Oh, and okay, so some houses were like they just dump all the ambulances [up]. They don't use anymore
there's a broken window so like I didn't seem there wouldn't be right well we were and then we had a flashlight and
[I] [heard] an engine so I turned off my flashlight. I look out the window. Oh
God so as we have do it no, no
I'm so confused because all these plugs a lot of the windows are broken. You know the thing is like editor
Lady okay, I'm on my [way] right [now]
We're gonna Come back. We'll be right back after the break
The [animals] engines turned on someone [was] in it the lights were on and everything
And I just [stick] around the city like if it was going to turn off or anything or if anyone who's going to get out?
Honestly, I thought all these ambulances were like out of order or like that it obviously [wasn't] it
Alright guys. Well, that's that apus owed for vlog or whatever you want to call it
[there's] actually a second part to this blog, and that's actual I was going to call [it] game play. That's the actual live footage of

10 EASY Car LIfe Hacks You NEED To Know - Duration: 8:12.
10.
Cloudy Headlights.
Headlights are a very important part of the vehicle, as, you know, they allows us to see
objects on the road in foggy or dark conditions.
They're also important for other drivers, as they drastically increase your car's visibility.
So important that, in many countries, its mandatory by law to have your headlights on
during all parts of the day.
Have you ever noticed that your headlights can get pretty cloudy?
While many people think that headlights get cloudy on the inside due to pent up moisture,
they couldn't be more wrong.
Most headlights are made out of plastics, and as such are prone to oxidation, which
leads to a cloudy substance forming on the outside of the plastic.
At a repair shop.
cleaning the oxidization can cost upwards of $20, but there is a very easy and quick
way to clean headlights at home.
All you need is toothpaste, a towel and a bit of arm power to rub your headlight clean.
Simply squeeze the toothpaste out onto the towel and rub it into the headlight for a
good few seconds.
When you wipe of the excess paste, you'll notice that your headlight is now as clean
as the day you bought it.
9.
Key Ring life hack: Most of us have keys, and therefore keychains.
These rings are very important to us, as we usually have our house keys, car keys, usbs,
and cute memorabilia just stuck in a steel ring.
One might even say that they are the key to our lives….i'll stop.
As we know it's quite difficult and hard to put and take out objects from a keychain,
as using our nails usually ends up with an unchanged keychain and a sore finger.
You may have also tried using a knife of some sort, and while that usually does work, it's
kinda dangerous.
Luckily, we have a trick for you!.Just use a staple remover to push apart the rings of
the chain, and once you have it open, pop a coin in there to keep it that way.
Now that it's propped open, you shouldn't have too much difficulty wiggling a key into
there.
8.
Heated Pizza Pizza is a food that many people and families
rely on, while at the same time considered by many others to be a treat and a luxury.
Regardless of which you are, everyone knows that when you pick up a pizza from the store,
by the time you get home the pizza will be all soggy and a tad bit warm, not hot like
most prefer.
Microwaving your pizza helps heat it up of course, but not only is that extra work, your
pizza is now all soggy.
Ready for the hack?
Those of you with the luxury of owning a car with heated seats, put one and two together
and keep the pizza box on the seat with the heater on.
Obvious?
Yes.
Do most of us do it?
No.
7.
No more banging Since a majority of people in the US use their
garage as both extra storage and, well, a garage, most of them don't have enough room
in their garage to completely open the door, but just enough for them to get out.
Unfortunately due to the cramped nature of these garages, this often leads to the doors
of the car being banged against the garage wall as they're opened, thus damaging the
car.
Now we all want to make sure our cars are kept scratch free, but it eventually will
happen, and currently there are only a couple of cars with door protectors.
A simple yet effective way to prevent the contact between the door and the wall is to
screw a half cut pool noodle onto the wall.
And just like that your doors are protected, provided you're good at parking in the exact
same place every day.
6.
Fixing Up Car Scratches: No matter how careful we are, all cars eventually
get scratches.
Depending on the intensity of the scratch, fixing these scratches can cost hundreds of
dollars and a trip to a detailer.
Luckily, not all scratches do the same amount of damage.
Basically, there are two levels of damage, surface, and scoring.
A scoring scratch goes down into the metal, and in this case you are essentially out of
luck as there aren't many home remedies that can patch this up.
However, most scratches are surface level, and only go as deep as the paint.
To fix these, a detailer would sand the scratch, apply primer, paint, and finally a clear coat
to keep everything looking new.
While that will make the scratch look like it never happened, most people can't afford
to take a trip to the detailer for every little mark, so here's what you do.
Rub the scratched area with light grit sandpaper, buff it with a soft rag and some elbow grease,
and then carefully paint over it with a drop of nail polish.
Be careful, as the biggest mistake people use her is too much nail polish, so to be
safe, don't use more than a cotton swab worth at a time.
With enough alternations between buffing and polish, the scratch should be nearly invisible
after a short while.
If you can't find the exact right shade, give in and shell out a extra few dollars for some
car scratch paint from any hardware store.
5.
Re-stick your unstickable electronics Have you guys ever used a suction cup holder/mount
for your electronics, gps, dash cams and phone?
Over time, the suction ability gets weaker and weaker, despite your best efforts, it
just won't stick on the windshield anymore.
Rather than buying an entire new suction cup mount, you could temporarily use a rubber
band to hold your phone or gps on one of your air vents [screenshot from clip 1].
Or, if that looks too cheap, most hardware stores sell velcro tape, which you can apply
to your electronics to help stick your GPS, BackUp Camera, or any other electronics to
your dashboard.
4.
Remove small dents.
Dents can be costly to fix, and having them in the first place drastically changes how
people view your car.
Thankfully for us there are 2 very simple methods to fix those dents, provided they're
relatively small and not too deep.
First way is to use dry ice, which you can order online for around $2 per pound.
Park your car somewhere where the sun can reach the dent, and leave it for a few hours
to warm up.
Then, with gloves, apply the dry ice.
If all goes according to plan, the rapid chilling of the metal will pop the dent without scratching
the paint.
The Second way involves an air duster and a hairdryer, which hopefully you already have
at home.
This is a slightly different process, but is still very quick, cheap and easy to do.
Heat up the dent with your heat gun or hairdryer, and then spray the dent immediately with compressed
air for at around 20 seconds.
Fingers crossed, within that time you will hear a loud pop as dent disappears.
3.
De-Ice a Lock With Hand Sanitizer People who live in a cold climate, have probably
had their door's lock jam due to the cold.
This is caused by moisture build up in the crevices of the lock, which has then frozen.
You could get a bucket of hot water to heat up the lock, but as always there is an easier
way.
Just apply a couple drops of hand sanitizer to your keys, wiggle it in the lock, and soon
it should be able to move freely.
This works because the rubbing alcohol in the sanitizer has a lower freezing point than
water, and as it comes into contact with the ice, it proceeds to melt it just enough to
allow the key to turn..
Who knew a bottle of hand sanitizer could be used for non germ related problems.
2.
Which Side?
When in a hurry, we sometimes have a brain fart which unfortunately leads us to very
embarrassing situations.
When pulling into a gas station, some of us have made the laughable mistake of forgetting
which side of the car the fuel door is on, as, although it is usually on the drivers
side, there are more than a few makes of cars where it is on the passenger side.
Thankfully manufacturers thought about this very situation.
Simply look at your gas gauge and there should be an arrow underneath the gas icon.
The Arrow will be pointing left or right indicating which side the gas cap is on.
Seems silly, but it can save you some dignity at the pumps.
1.
De-ice your windshield This one is once again for all our northerner
friends who have to deal with an icy windshield every time they want to go out for a drive.
It's the simplest car-hack you've ever heard.
Park facing east.
Shocked by the simplicity?
As everyone who's ever attended third grade knows, the sun rises in the east and sets
in the west.
Therefore, if your car is facing east, it'll get a good blast of sunshine in the early
morning, which should help loosen up all the built up ice and snow.
This of course won't work during a blizzard or on super cloudy days, but hey, even if
it only melts a bit of ice, parking facing east is not too much work, provided your driveway
allows for it.
