Dave came to a realization that he couldn’t wait any longer for someone else to help him. He knew he had to act fast before it was too late. He immediately contacted a towing company owner he was acquainted with and explained the dire situation to him. He hoped the towing company had the necessary tools to lift the heavy drain cover and uncover the mystery that lay beneath.
The towing company owner had a suggestion that Dave was not entirely comfortable with – involving the police. Dave knew that calling the authorities would result in a lengthy process and possible fines, so he had to think fast. He needed a valid reason to justify involving the emergency services, as he couldn’t risk getting penalized if there was nothing in the storm drain after all.
