An MTU will only pull blue (abandoned) or white (your legal kills) wrecks. Tractor beams, regardless of whether on a ship or part of an MTU don't work on yellow wrecks.
In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Someone used one on one of my wrecks, and it hadn't timed out. They just got a susp flag and a little lead from my drones xD Did what with one of your wrecks? And what do you mean by timed out?
If they went suspect they probably looted the wreck, they wouldn't have been able to activate a tractor beam on a wreck that wasn't A: theirs or B: abandoned, the game simply won't allow it.

Unless CCP have changed it recently you're mistaken, the ownership flag of wrecks only changes if the owner abandons them via the right click menu; they do despawn after a while (approx 2hrs)

This is incorrect, tractor beams follow your safety setting in the client. Set your safety to something other than green and your tractors should work fine on any wreck you come across. The Eve Uni wiki, and my own experience says otherwise. I suggest that you check in game.
AFAIK, and there's been a fairly recent thread on it, a tractor beam WILL NOT activate on a wreck that isn't A: legally yours or B: abandoned.
There's a reason looters scoot about instead of using tractors on other peoples wrecks even if the site of the wrecks is otherwise empty, they don't use them because they don't work on yellow wrecks.
