[AT] towing tractors with a pickup

[Phil Auten]

Several years before my mom passed, she had a minor accident in a 
parking lot. Circumstances dictated that she shouldn't be driving any 
more (she was 89 at the time). We took the keys to her car. A "friend" 
at church told her how to get new keys made and she resumed driving. As 
soon as we found out about it, we took the car and sold it (my middle 
sister had power of attorney so it was legal). Problem solved.
