Abandoned Delivery Van? Call The Cops? Call #Drumbeats!

When a delivery van turned up abandoned on my street, it took a bit of investigating to find out why and who it belonged to. Luckily, we had the help of the local police, the tow truck and my cat Tommy.

The phone number that didn't match doesn't show up on the video, but it's on the back doors of the van. It is (was) for the local office that the van is dispatched from. I could have, but did not, call the 1-800 number on the side of the van.

Yes, this video is different. I know. If and when things get back to normal, I'll be perfectly happy to post the regular kinds of videos. Until then, I'm just going to experiment with some different things. You're welcome to join me! Thanks for understanding.

Your house has a moat? That's a pretty extreme way to prevent people from parking on your property.

I'm glad you clarified who got dinner and who got belly rubs.😂

Nice to see Tommy taking it interest in the family business.

This is COVIDsafe-compliant GTOger: tow-aways conducted at home instead of at the office. I can also see from some of Tommy's body language (his tail) that he's a happy cat.

The ability of being able to rub your cat's belly, I see you are a man of culture as well.
A cat's belly is a soft and magical place, and those that can rub a cat's belly are wise and possess special powers.

could just imagine the pink panther tune when Tommy strolls into view

Tommy doing the Bionic jump over the camera, awesome!
Looks like a well behaved cat as opposed to my daughters in charge of the household cat!!

The cat stole the show. I miss the parking lot too.

Beside car towing is a serious business in the US and almost everywhere. The tow truck with the car loader is an amazing tool for hard cases.

I could see that Tommy was a tease. Thanks for the cool change of pace, and still delivering the DrumBeats!

Look like an old van the FBI would use. You blow their cover. They were actually staking out Gtoger. Ps Tommy is one cool cat.

[shirleysenkler]

Darn you're good, catching a tow even away from the lot!

[jonnyonwheels]

The squirrels ALWAYS know more than they are letting on!

I'm glad to see a thorough Cat Scan of the operation.

[Elvatrenni_]

We take what we get in these times. I wish the squirrel would have had a scooter but you can not get it all

Another very creative episode of "As the tow trucks tow" Starring Tommy!

[catgirldo]

This is Tommy, Tommy is a cat. Tommy likes to cross the bridge for adventure. Tommy likes to watch tow trucks. Tommy likes tummy rubs. Tommy likes to run and jump. See Tommy run and jump. Tommy is an athlete and very graceful. Tommy belongs to Chris (aka: GTOger). Thanks for the video - it was really groovy. Tommy is a groovy cat.

You have got the best walk way ever. It was funny watching how long it took for the tow truck to load the van. You sure appreciate the others
