Maybe Beaver Ho was doing a random test to see what grade oil is being used out there!

They could have done more damage with a sledge hammer to every body panel.

And if it had been 15W40 oil, it would not have run out of a screwdriver puncture!

Default I am visualizing a flatbed instead of that tow truck.....

hope your insurance will cover the vandalism.

Tows aren't good for quattro.

Default That was a crime of passion if I've ever heard one!!

File a police report, have you mech keep any and all parts, take pictures if you can of the damage to the car, the 'crime scene', and any oil/hardware in the lot. Also, and notify whoever owns the lot (Best Buy)..talk to a manager, not a kid behind the customer service desk).

What scares me the most is that whoever did that knew that the oil would only leak a little until the engine was running. Again, definetly premeditated and malicious! So soory to see anyone going through this, I hope they get thiers in due time.

Oh, and don't EVER let a tow truck driver tow a quattro without at least a dolly under the rear wheels.

Default Yes, but this would call attention to yourself (bashing car with hammer). Putting sugar in

the gas tank or puncturing oil filter is very sneaky and likely to do more extensive damage. Incredibly nasty vandals, IMO. File Police report for sure. This is very upsetting. Just be glad they didn't cut your brake line.
