So, my Girlfriend's father, who's a pretty shifty character, gave her a 4x4 mazda B-series pickup that she's been driving for the last 6 months or so, but never gave her the title or transferred it to her name. Now he shows up out of the blue, and takes it back while we're both out of the house at work, with all her school stuff in it any everything else leaving her without a vehicle. Is there any legal grounds on which we can fight against that?

Thank's in advance for any advice..

 

Title is ownership. Period

 

I think it depends on what he said when he gave it to her. Since the title and all ownership rights are in his name he owns it.

 

I figured so. I gotta find a way to get her school stuff back though. And then put a new clutch in my pickup so she can drive that for awhile.

I'm just frustrated by this whole situation, ya know?

 

why would he do something like that? Are you sure he took it and not some one else?

 

it's a long story. Like I said, he's a shifty character. He was absent from her life completely for most of her life. Then showed up out of the blue last year saying about how much he wanted to help and gave her the truck and some money to help with college and what not and now he's taking his truck and disappearing again..

And I know it was him, because he called her at work to say he was taking it.

 

Took the truck and didn't leave her stuff, what a useless **** . I would call the police at the very least and see what you can do about recovering her personal property????

Maybe nothing can be done about it or maybe you can make this guys life a little bit uncomfortable if her property can be considered stolen.

 

good call Bob

 

The truck is definitely his, if the title still has his name on it. But I'd call the cops if he won't give her stuff back. Whether it's his truck or not, that's theft if he won't give her stuff back. Is he local?...You can't get arrested for stealing your own ****.

 

Moral of the story is:

Do not leave important things in a vehicle. Period. Matters not who takes it, it's GONE, and that's the problem. If you mange to get the stuff back, bonus, but really, don't do it.

Other than that, the GF is gonna have to deal.

Re: calling the cops? Good luck with that. "I took my truck. I told her I was taking it. Not my fault she didn't get over there and empty it." or some such, and then nothing happens until you sue or something.

Really, this is a classic "domestic issue" and the best you can do is civil courts.

 

My in-laws are repo people. They've always been allowed to keep the contents of the car if the items are below a certain amount. They have all kinds of CDs and DVDs and stuff.


The sad part is my in-laws are repo people.

 

Do they have many people calling to get thier stuff back? If I was in the business I think I wouldn't bother as a purely life preserving measure. It always seems like the repoees are looking to chop the repoer's head. I have a buddy in the business who also did tows for illegal parking as well. Two funniest stories he told me; Rap artist Noz composed a song on the spot when he went to tow his car and sue to (at the time) Allen Iverson being something of a local hero. His mom was and probably is a ompous ***. She told him that he would rue the say that he towed her car.

Now that AI is broke its a shame he still not in the business. Would probably be the guy coming to repo her car.

 

I can't believe I forgot to ask.










pics of the girlfriend???

 

Haha. If you insist. This is the only picture I have on my phone right now, she sent it to me while she was at work the other night.

 

 

I didn't know Pizza Hut had models...

 

 

hahhaha all the thread cross roads lead to the same place

 

cute as a button and someone wrote a song with her name in it. I hope everything works out for the both of you. Play the lotto You guys deserve something good to happen too you.

 

Thanks, that really means a lot. Everybody goes through rough times every once and awhile, but we'll all make it through.
