Is towing a car without keys or consent lawful?

Towing a car without keys or consent is generally not lawful and may be considered theft or unauthorized use of a vehicle. In most jurisdictions, it is a legal requirement to have the owner's permission or a valid legal order to tow a vehicle. Towing a car without the owner's consent can have legal consequences and may result in civil or criminal charges. Additionally, towing companies are usually required to follow specific regulations and procedures when towing vehicles, and unauthorized towing may violate these regulations.
