towtruck/towing questions

Had my car recently towed a short distance before I stopped the guy and showed him my parking permit. Getting into the car to get the permit I noticed that the parking brake was down.

Is the driver able to disengage the parking brake without entering the car? Car is a honda civic, year old.

Is anyone knowledgeable enough about towing that they can give me the rundown of things that can break/go wrong when a car is towed. Like shocks, transmission, parking brake lines etc,..

I would like to know so I can make sure to check the necessary areas the next time the bastids get my car.

Thanx for the info in advance.

so long as they raised the front tires off the ground then you should be fine.
