Perhaps they contracted out the repair, but don't know to whom. The car was never recovered. I think the man's lawyer advised against a lawsuit due to the appearance that the man had abandoned the car by not communicating with the shop for years. He may have gotten a token settlement amount of money from the shop. Tom

Tom great story but has nothing to do with this case.

In 2003, Itec paid at least 99% of the money owed for the buyback, we have emails and posts every few months of KMOS asking for the OS, its not done, we have to pay Olaf, etc are the excuses for not sending it to them, not you still owe us $250. If the guy in your example had gone down every week and asked for his car back and already paid for most or all of the repairs and one day they said, you cant have it back we sold it because you still owed us a dollar for the repair, he would have won the case and got alot of money. KMOS didnt abandon the OS, they bought it and kept waiting for it to be delivered. They asked for several times, you remember "when its done" right?
