The days of wondering where your towed car ended up could be over – as a bill heading to the governor's desk will give drivers the chance to know immediately who towed their vehicle and where.

Cohen will never forget his car accident in 2019 in Chicago. While on the phone with his insurance company and taking to police, he recalled,"all of a sudden, a tow company pulled up."

The driver from Get It Towing Inc. gave Cohen a business card with the logos of auto insurance companies whose insurance they accepted. " said they were here to pick up the car, take it to its destination – and then in the process, it never reached its destination," Cohen said. Instead, Cohen spent countless hours calling and looking for his car, and when he finally located it, there was new trouble."It was a whole week before the individuals called me, and then tell me that I had to pay a ransom to get my car back."The tow company slapped Cohen with an invoice not only for the two, but for a hefty fee for the storage. He said it was to the tune of close to $5,000.
