I met a guy named Kevin who offered to fix my 1971 Chevy
Impala.I met kevin through a guy who towed my other car for
me when it broke down and he recommended him to me.Kevin
came in a tow truck and towed my car to his shop.(The tow
truck had East Lake Towing on the side of it)I gave Kevin a
300.00 deposit which he gave ne a receipt for. I went a few
times to check on it and Kevin would tell me he was working
on it.It is my toy car in the sense that it is for my
pleasure . Afew monts went buy and I received a letter
stating the car was going to be sold by East lake Towing
and I went out there and Kevin told me his mother sent the
paper and she was incorrect and not to worry about.I saw
his mother out there and she told me everything was fine.
(this was in January of 2003).I had not heard from Kevin so
today 12/13/03 to check on my car.When I got there Kevin's
mom told me kevin no longer lives there or works there.She
then told me that she wanted 500.00 for my car to be
returned to me or she would sell it.She said that legally
the car was hers.She showed me where she sent a certified
letter in June and it was signed for by my 14 yr old
daughter.I never got the letter but I informed her that
that was incorrect because they never fixed my car or tried
to contact me to tell me anything about it.I thought that
they could only charge me storage after the car was
repaired.She then told me that kevin had abandoned
everything and she had the cars towed from the shop Kevin
had leased from someone else and we had to pay her for the
towing fees and all other expenses associated with it.My
argument is if Kevin had no part of her business why did
she allow him to use her company truck,bring the car to her
company and never do anything to differiante her business
from his.We called the police who told us it was a civil
matter but I did go and get a disposable camera to show the
car is on her property and still in good condition.Do I
have a legal leg to stand on if I take her to small claims
court she was aware of Kevin agreement wtith me to fix my
car and never told me anything!!111
