If there is any informafion they have for why they would not be responsible, he woixtd need to heaz that. Without an explanation, the assessmenY will need to be approved. Mr. Strathman asked is there some reason why the parents could not have towed the vehicle away. Ms. Mean responded they could not remove the caz because it was inoperable.
