I don't know the laws in NV, but if that happened in FL then you would have a pretty good case. Not sure if the chargeback thing will work or not, but you might look into small claims court because they effectively stole your motorcycle. Your dad was there and can testify what he told them.
A friend of mine had a similar situation and called me after his accident. When I got there, the tow truck guy had it loaded and had no problem towing it to my friends house. I had to pay for the tow, but that was OK because the insurance reimbursed me.
Good luck with it.
