My stolen car

[TobyB]

this thread is not delivering the drama

yar. But Washington is wierd in that about the only person that can claim an 'abandoned'
car is a tow truck driver.

It's... odd...

Gonna kiss my iX on the steering wheel on my lunchbreak. From one 4 door iX owner to another.

So this is going to be a civil case against me and the Lincoln towing buyer. I can't post anymore until after the court case

Let me know the court date ,i want to be present when the shit hits the fan in court.

Well... Was the iX towed away on a flat bed? If not, just cut your losses and move on.

Dude pretty much hit it on the head, with these cars getting more popular the last place you want one that's been "modified" or a "rare e30" is the tow yard.

My car was booted at one point and I had 48 hours to come up with the cash to get it off. I did ALL I COULD and stressed out so badly, luckily the car was in front of my house when it was disabled so I could keep an eye on it, I DID NOT WANT IT GETTING TOWED TO THE YARD, so I did everything I could to make sure that didn't happen.

543.00 seemed like alot to get it off but when you consider the risk of having some DB tow your iX (improperly), towing fees, storage fees, as well as not knowing who will be touching your car, I just was not going to let that happen. Sorry to get off-topic, just saying I was almost in your position. : /

Sounds like OP is pretty familiar with the court system

Did you mean "it's not what you know, it's who you know" ?

I agree, this is why most of us who care for our vehicles go to get our car back as soon as we find it's towed. That, or are responsible enough that it doesn't get towed in the first place.

When I was younger I had my vehicle towed multiple times, always had it back within 6 hours. If you leave a car at a tow yard for more than a day, you must not care that much. Hell, if you can't pay the bill, just talking to them and keeping contact will keep your car from being sold.

Same for me. If he is going through the trouble of making a civil case of this, what happened with the period of time that the towing company had the car? If he didn't claim it back, or attempt to while they had it, it's theirs

This thread reminds me of the FedEx thread.

I do love mine and would hate to lose it in a way like this.

Im suing OP for stealing the 5 mins it took to read 6 pages of this terrible thread

It would be easier to not to waste time on a car that appears to have been:
1. Towed
2. Unclaimed
3. Legally sold

then again, I dont know the exact story so who knows.

But, it could be best to buy a new e30 since the one in question doesn't appear to be acquired illegally. Unless there is a strong case it may not be worth going after a car that, like Mr. Burns said, is no more than $2000, but I do love mine and would hate to lose it in a way like this.
