Not shocked, seen DPW do tows and not put them in the system all the time. I’d try (202) 541-6083 every so often to see if the driver called DPW/put it in Teletype. Also check to see later if there was a ticket issued. Might give you some kind of clue if they wrote the ticket for the drop-off location. Otherwise I’d call MPD and ask to have it put in as an ‘Attempt to Locate’

Thanks! Just edited my post above. They still had no record of the tow even after a few hours but they found our car in the system by searching for issued tickets.

No problem- DPW is the worst and there’s zero accountability when they don’t out things in whatever database they use/teletype. There’s a not insignificant number of stolen auto cases that I get that are DPW tow jobs.

DPW is literally the worst! And nothing will ever change because non of them will ever be fired or held accountable in any way whatsoever

I love how they can themselves "the preferred choice". Like, preferred to what?

If there is another choice I would probably much prefer that
