Do what Rodger at Ironworks said, take a pic of the car with todays paper to show that it's there un touched not done like he said, then call the tow company and the police, inform them of what you are doing and have an officer there when you take the car and have ownership papers with you. That way there is nothing he can do when you show up with the tow and police and then file a claim in court for your money after you have the car in your possesion.

It would be criminal mischief (vandalism).....I would have the truck there when he gets home. How did he get it back there?

The exact same thing happened to me a few years ago when i was trying to help my uncle rebuild his Buick.

Just confront the guy, tell him your taking your car and tell him you have called the cops. Just call a tow truck to come to his house, what is he going to do?

Show up unannounced with alot of help. Even if you just tell him you called the cops.

I can't stand lying pieces of trash like this.

these guys suck!! The same thing happened to me, I took my car back while the guy was at his real job. Next time my guy saw my car, it was finished. This guy never mentioned sh*t to me about either.

Thanks for all the positive advice. Long story short, I have my car in my garage. I left work early and called the police and tow truck to meet me. Police showed but truck was late. I called him 3 times and no answer. The police asks his wife who's at home to call and he answers and says that he gets off at 5 but I can get the car. The wife acts like she didn't know a white car was in her backyard. Sure enough, still back there but another car is blocking access. The police suggest I have him move it so I'm not liable if something happens to his car. So I wait til he gets off. Believe it or not he shows up with 5 friends to help move everything. The only words he says to me are "I'll get you your money by Tuesday." He left and I waited about an hour for the wrecker to get there. Pulled her home to find out my wife cleared the garage of her crap so I could get not one but 2 cars in it. I'm truly grateful for today. Thanks for the support.

Glad to hear you got your car back without anything bad happening when you made your move. Now I just hope he really does get your money back too!

Lol....that's a bold face lie if I ever heard of one. Judging from the lie on the car in the first place.....your cash will never be seen again.

Congrats on getting the car back.
