I hope you get your car back .

I'm going to share my story with you all . Back in the early 80's I was having some body work done to my daily driver . Car was done and I had no one to drop me off to pick it up . Soooooooooo I drove my 1969 Authi Mini ( mini made in Spain to cooper s specs , wood dash , leather ) and left it in front of the body shop . Later the same day I got a ride back to get the mini and it was gone .

Asked the shop owner..........." Nope . Never saw it ".

Called impound . " Nope . We don't have it ".

Called police and reported it stolen .

Something never sat right with me about the shop owner so I called the Police Auto squad . They contacted him and low and behold he had the car .

Also a bogus work order with over $600 in storage . Auto squad said there was nothing they could do .

I had to buy my own car back .

Still have a bad taste in my mouth .

Let's just say for all involved that it's a good thing I'm a God fearing man !

25 + years and I remember it like it was yesterday .

Best to you and your quest !
