Where's Jake?

[MrBoxx]

As mentioned, he's had my car for nearly 3 months now.

I've called the Winona police; the officer who I spoke to seemed sympathetic and said he would keep an "open report" on the situation, under the heading "theft" for now. It's my understanding that it won't be an official criminal report, but it can be a prelude to one. We'll see what happens in the future.

Drove past the shop tonight with a friend, I was shotty, Garage light was on, door was wide open. I saw Jake looking back at me from inside. Blue SRT4, white 4 door grand am, like a 95-98 and a couple others. One car that looked like a 2g was under a tarp, but suprisingly the garage was pretty clean. They were all huddled around something in the middle, tinkering with it.

I couldn't stop though cause I was with a friend and were running late.

I agree, you should call the police and talk to a detective or something higher up than the receptionist. Basically you are dealing with theft. Does he have a real business, or were the checks made out to him personally? If they were made out to him, he is in a world of hurt.

Well I sent him a check for $175 and I addressed it to him personally. How can i get that money back?

What number are you guys called to talk to the police? I'll call them asap but I want to make sure were speaking with the same department.

Really shitty. Well if he was in the shop recently then some people need to came out there and wait for him to come back and deal with him directly.
Sorry to hear about that shit Mr 98GSX.

Ok so everybody that has a problem with Jake call the winona police dept at this number and report your problem. (507) 457-6302

So I just called the police dept and talked to the same bitchy lady I did last time. Even though I told her $26000 is at stake she still said "it's a civil matter and that's something you guys agreed on." I told her that he has a guys car (mrboxx) and is not willing to contact the owner or return it. She said that would be considered theft. So mrboxx call em up and file a report because I sure as hell can't.
