My opels have been stolen

Mike Trout · 10-28-2007

Hey everybody I know its been a while since I have been here but yes if you have wondered where I have been, it's really nowhere. I moved back to Meadville, PA and yes my 69 1.1 and 70 1.9 GT have been stolen by my previous employer that is holding them by extortion so I may not be in the opel loop for a while until I go to court soon and fight for them back, hope to hear from everyone soon I miss yall

Mike-

I really hope you get them back soon. Keep up the fight, don`t give up. Good luck.

Hope you get it worked out soon. If the cars are yours and you can prove it, he's looking at a possible felony.

Make sure you have an attorney helping you.
Good luck!

Any update to the story? Did you get your Opels back?
I suspect there was a lot left out of this side of the story - but, bottom line, have you worked it out? Do you have your cars?

Unless he holds the title - they belong to you (assuming that you have the titles). If he has the cars, just call a towing company that does re-possesions. It costs a little more than regular towing, but these are guys who have no qualms about cutting chains and sneaking about (again, providing you can prove ownership). Don't bother with court, just repossess.

I'd guess the guy is holding them as collateral for something he thinks he has coming? Possession is 9/10 of the law they say, but proven ownership via titles changes that. Wonder if you couldn't just report them stolen (avoiding a false report of course) and see what happens? Would be interesting to hear the detail on this, not that it's any of my business. I'm sure there's laws pertaining to it all. Like if you left a car somewhere and couldn't get back at it due to fences or whatever. This must happen often. Like a landlord puts a renter's car in a locked garage holding it for back rent or something.
