Our company is trying to make a new tow log for cars that we tow away. What information do you guys record? Anyone have a copy they can email me?

We do not have specific logs for towing, so when recording a tow we usually just take down the basics: Time discovered/Reported, location, description, license, time towed, company used (we do not use a specific company), reason towed, notes (existing damage, missing/expired tags, previous towings)"A good deed’s like pissing yourself in dark pants. Warm feeling but no one notices." - Jacob Taylor
-
Make, model, body style, color, year, plate number/VIN, existing damage, location, time/date, officer, type of tow (roll back, straight, dolly, etc), reason for tow, ticket number, and how much the tow company charged for the tow and storage fees.I believe I speak for everyone here sir, when I say, to Hell with our orders.

I'm going to second Tennsix's agency's tow report.
Always take the VIN and plate if you are having a vehicle removed. This way, you have the record of the plate (which may or not belong to the car) and the VIN in case you just towed a stolen vehicle which was involved in the brutal killing of a bus full of nuns then had its plates switched.
Type of Tow is important for liability purposes.Some Kind of Commando Leader

This sounds like your management team needs to contact a Technology Management Firm to help you manage your technology and create good forms. I would suggest a firm that has private security experience, such as this one.

I can't find any of our tow forms we used over the summer. But, if i recall:
make and model, VIN, tag, date, location, officer, time, towing company called, etc. We had to forward a copy to the local PD as well.If you fail to plan, plan to fail.
