Stolen Jeep update

Sorry to hear about the BS the dirt bags put you through my two friends Mr. Smith and Wesson would looking up those guys and for sure they would not do it again. What goes around comes around.

Carl did pass the time by typing:

You paid the fee and the jeep isn't yours? Hell, if that was the case I wouldn't have paid the fee at all. I assume you are going to get the salvage value?

Wow.. Washington's law enforcement sucks. Around here that's felony evasion and prosicuted.

You should be able to attach any state or federal tax return. Depends on the state.

Given the crap the legal system is doing to you I'd be talking to the local news station. Political heat sometimes brings better results and a prosecutor cornered by the press is more likely to get of his/her ass and do the job properly.

And you have enough to make a good news story.

If I remember, plenty of places to get "lost" in Washington.

Oh my gad. I am so sorry!!! That is absolutly awful. If you paid the impound fee, your insurance should be covering that, since if its not yours, its theirs. Also, you have every right to go to where ever it is and pull your stuff out of it. Anything thats not an integeral part. After I totaled mine, I went and pulled everything from lock boxes to lights and floor mats, even the back seat (well, I took that while it was still at the body shop). Anything that was "personal" is still yours...at least it should be unless they are paying you for it.

You are right, probably the same guys I bet. After all they knew where you live

- info is on the registration in the glove box - either that or the guys at the wrecking yard have a good racket going I think.

All the more reason I hate living in the city!!! No, you shouldnt be responsible for the window. Especially if you have renters insurance.

I sure hope you have good luck finding a new place and a "new" Jeep!

That is a real drag... I would for sure want money or parts for the wreck! I mean you own it right?

Mike

Yes, I owned it outright. I was told I could not take anything would impair the movement of the truck, IE: wheels, tires, springs, axles, ect. I was able to get my hi-lift and tools.

Carl

That is only the case if the insurance is paying you for the vehicle. Otherwise you can have it towed to your driveway and do with it as you please once the cops are dome with it.

NO No No... It's YOUR vehicle! Did they BUY it from you?

If not, then they have stolen it from you - period.

Dang Carl, you may have screwed yourself by letting them take it.

Sorry this is happening. I hope that you get some action from th news stations. Or SOMETHING. Do some research, find out what you can do, then do it. Get mean, be tough and kick some ass.

Does the perp have any assets?

If he has a car, home, etc and you get the court order you can place a lien on any assets he has.

You won't get your money anytime soon but then he will not be able to sell them without paying you (Actually the purchaser will not be able to obtain a title until the lien is paid)

Carl,

It sucks living there, don't it?
