It's a rear wheel drive car, so you'd normally pick up the rear end and roll the front wheels...
But... aside from the assumption made by the OP... How do you know it's not broken down or something, and the owner called to get it towed? Maybe it has a broken drivetrain, and the wheels are freewheeling as it is.
You don't know.. and raising stink against a tow truck driver (who's just doing his job) isn't making you look any smarter.

You're a smart one aren't you? Just because you've got a broken leg it doesn't mean you can drag it down street on the way to the hospital to get it fixed.
I think you're the one making the stupid ass assumptions.

If the tranny is in neutral, the rear wheels will still roll. I had to tow my old 200sx that way once...

Doesn't matter if the car has issue or not but seeing that just makes you think wtf...

According to my owner's manual (2003 C-class), even putting it into N and switching off the engine isn't good enough.
