Klytus Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I hope I don't get shot tonight by that wench who stole my Mom's car. I got the title in my name this morning, and bought a copy of the ignition key, and right now I'm waiting for a policeman to show up so he can escort me to get the car off her parking space. She has access to a gun; it belongs to her boyfriend. Sheis crazy and she hates me (no, I've never done anything to make her hate me). I think I should get a restraining order against her too. Mags Yeah... do that thing. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmarock Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings Yeah... do that thing. Please. Not that a restraining order can actually stop a person from killing you if they really want to... Here's hoping she values her freedom more than being vindictive.

And if you truly are in fear of your life from this lady... you may want a gun of your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for this officer to show up and so finally I call the non-emergency number again and the dispatcher tells me he couldn't find my home so he canceled the call! Thank goodness it wasn't a real emergency! Gee-whiz! My lights are on. My brother and I have been here the whole time waiting. I say blarg again!

Magmarock Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings And the drama continues... or the non-drama as the case may be. The officer called me back and said that the other deputy went by Aida's place and she pulled out the BOS (which is worthless) that my daughter signed (she didn't own the car), so now it's a civil suit and the police won't get involved. I will have to go file a civil suit to get the car back. But I know Aida will trash the car before that happens. Because she can't get tags for the car, or ever get a title in her name, it'll just sit on her lot, taking up space. If it ever leaves her property, I can claim the car. She can never sell it, well, not legally. I have patience. I went to visit my daughter today. Told her the car is now in my name and Aida will never be able to drive it legally. Also told her it was a shame that she signed that phoney BOS... very foolish it was, because now she'll have to give Aida $300 back. I also told her to expect Aida to take her to small claims court to get the non-existant $300. Expensive lesson, if you ask me. So my daughter said, "She's my friend, she wouldn't do that. To which I replied, if she were your friend, she'd give you back the BOS and keys. But she won't, because she isn't your friend... she's just using you. Then my daughter said, "But I want to keep the car." I told her I won't sell it then. Either way, Aida is not gettingthe car. Period. My daughter is now mad at me because I'm in the right, legally and ethically, and she knows it. Sigh. If it weren't my Mom's car, I wouldn't care so much. Sentimental value and all. At least I don't have to worry about getting shot at. Mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I'd take a large friend and go repossess the car myself. That would make it much harder for her to mess it up. I suppose there is some risk of being shot at, though. So make that an armed large friend. Either that or I'd report that the car was stolen by someone who forges BOSes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is that the police here will arrest you for trespassing... even if it is only 10 feet onto someone's driveway to retrieve a stolen car that clearly belongs to you. Go figure. It's nice how con-artists and criminals get all the protection while honest, law-abiding citizens get shafted. Just lovely. Mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried reporting the car stolen. When she produced the BOS, they said it was no longer a criminal case, but a civil case. One small detail, my daughter wants Aida to have the car and admits to "selling" the car to her (yet she tells me she didn't want to sell it).

I wonder if you had a lawyer hand this Aida person a notice of you sueing her for whatever damages unless you got the car back now. Right now, she's basically screwing you over, but since the car is in your name, was never in your daughter's name. Hmm, wonder if we can just get someone to reposses your car?
