Still carry one. Most may be surprised to know that certain professions have buildings that prevent cell coverage from entering and also large amounts of rural areas less than 15 minutes from major cities have no cell coverage.

Sorry not meaning to hijack thread.
Definitely picked up by tow service. Police do not have own lot so all vehicles are sent to tow yards.
FYI there are multiple registries, and for the life of me I haven't the faintest idea why a VIN number isn't just a VIN number and searchable across all registries. Seems to me that is the basis for having a VIN is that it is a globally tracked number.
I have no beef with a tow company working in this capacity and earning a living that way. Shady behavior is the tow lot had my motorcycle for over a year before contacting me. Only time I was contacted was when they filed for title. State of Louisiana said for them to find me. I understand burocracy but it does not take a year and a half for this to happen. Most angering part is that the state police never contacted me when the motorcycle was recovered. Apparently the "guy" said it was his buddies bike and the trail went cold from there.

Interestingly enough I learned all I ever wanted to know about stolen motorcycles this year!!!
I had a motorcycle stolen while temporarily living in Missouri (registered in Louisiana) in 2013. Was only liability covered as it was about 6 years old at the time.
Interestingly, moved back to MO and was informed this year that motorcycle recovered after state police chase. Kicker is it was sitting in tow lot over year before I was contacted. Lots of opinions and experts here have no clue what they are talking about. Reality is that I had to pay significant amounts of money to get bike back (sentimental reasons) and am now dealing with titling issues.
Biggest lesson I learned that I am sure that criminals take advantage of, after 4 years vehicles are automatically taken out of the national stolen registry. This is part of the reason for all the hassle and reason I was not contacted. When the motorcycle was recovered after the chase, it was never considered "stolen" because it was not in the registry. I could go on for days as to how stupid the system is. If googled you may find a local television report and our attempts to get legislation improved.
Additionally, the person was not ever prosecuted for the theft even though it is an open/shut case of being caught with a stolen motor vehicle (because it was not listed "stolen").
Unfortunately every jurisdiction (state, local, attorneys) had blown me off (minus a great state police officer) as far as assisting me getting my stolen property back. They essentially told me to go buy your stuff back from the tow lot and that is what I ultimately had to do.
