Tow Business Burned

The owner of Isaac’s Auto and Towing in Wilmington, N.C., spent his labor day sweeping up glass, and picking through the charred remains of vandalized cars at his shop.Owner Isaac Rodriguez opened his shop a few months ago, but after several cars were vandalized over the weekend, he said he is struggling to pick up the pieces.“I went through Hell to get the little bit of money to get my business going, and now I’m basically shut down,” he said. “My life has come to a stop basically.”He said anywhere from 9 to 12 cars were damaged, and of those, four were lit on fire, including his company tow truck. David Hines of the Wilmington fire department says there is about $40,000 worth of damage to the cars.Rodriguez said he doesn’t know what to do because he does not have insurance to cover the damages. He said it will be a struggle to keep the shop open without the help of the community.
