As many of you remember, the City of Cincinnati Police department removed my 1987 Ford Escort beater from the city streets last April, and destroyed it the same day. I had filed a claim with the city for the value of the car.
The latest development: The City claims the car had no battery in it, and was therefore abandoned. This simply means my lawyer and I will be suing the city, now for the value of the car, and my attorney fees. We can't sue a municipality for damages, unfortunately.
My question is: How did they know if the car didn't have a battery in it without breaking in to it? The battery is kept under the hood, and the car was locked...
And how did I drive it to work two days prior with no battery? And why didn't I get a notification on the car, ever?
I'm calling Judge Judy.
