Man Sues Ex-Girlfriend Over His 67 Impala

Man Sues Ex-Girlfriend Over His 67 Impala 4 Door. Yep you heard right well there is wayyyy more to the story so I will let him tell it. He’s posted his story on Reddit about a week ago so I do not want to miss type and info so I will just take this from his Reddit post for all of you to read.

AITA For suing my girlfriend after she had my 1967 impala project taken to the scrapyard?

I’ll try to keep this short. I had a 1967 Impala 4 door that I bought in Feb 2019. A couple months ago I bought my first house that had a 2.5 car garage. I moved the car in and started tearing it down for a complete restoration. I had the body in one bay and the chassis in another, plus the whole garage filled with parts. About two months ago my girlfriend came to live with me during this whole crisis and the whole time has hated that car. She wants to park in the garage but I have 2 acres of land with a lot of nice places to park under shady trees or hell even in the barn if it has to be inside.

I tell her tough luck its my house and its not like I can just throw it back together real quick. Anyways I was out of town for a couple days on a business trip for the small local company I work for. When I got back, my girlfriend was all smiles. Making me food all the time, doing all the chores, all that. I though maybe she just was happy to have me home but then I realized that I didn’t see her car in it’s usual spot.

I asked her where she parked so I could make sure I mow that area and keep it clean and she said not to worry because she parked in the garage. I asked how and she told me to go check it out. Turns out that while I was gone she hired some people to come over and move everything related to that car, including the drivetrain, body, and chassis and all parts, and take it to the local dump/scrapyard. I was absolutely dumbfounded. I had spent over 11k on that car including new parts, services, and the car itself. I told her that I was going to be taking her to court for that and she brushed me off like I was being dramatic. I told her that it’s done between us and to pack her things and leave. I admit I was a really angry but I did end up getting a lawyer, and as I have all the receipts for all that money spent and I have her on my house’s security cam footage letting the guys in and watching them take it all I think I can win. Her family and friends are absolutely blowing me up saying it’s just a stupid old piece of junk and that she cannot pay back all that money I spent, and that I should just let it go. But I have been putting all my time, effort, and money into that car for a year and a half now and goddammit if I am not going to get justice for what she did. AITA

Edit: Thank you all so much for the support and awards and everything. I’m glad I have some people on my side. I got a call from her mom about 20 minutes ago and she told me that i was ruining her daughter’s life over a stupid car. I told her she ruined her own life. I’ve been gathering documentation and stuff and I’m about to head down to the police station and file a report, as suggested by lots here. Once again thank you all

UPDATE: went to the police station last night, was told to come back in the morning. just got back and filed an official report against her for grand larceny and grand theft auto. I showed them all the receipts I had for the car and the footage of her letting the guys come and take it as well as the title for the vehicle in my name. they said they will be in contact with all 3 parties (me, ex GF, and junkyard guys) soon and they will hopefully be able to recover some or all of the car. just have to wait now

HUGE UPDATE: THEY FOUND MY GODDAMN CAR!! the junkyard guys apparently were in the middle of hiding it when the police came to ask them questions. it was on a forklift and they were gonna put it on top of a pile of cars that was hidden behind more piles of cars. they said it was theirs and they had the title, but obviously didn’t have the title for it and since they matched the VIN on the chassis and body to the vin on my title, it was obviously mine. I know at least one person there has been arrested, I think he was in the camera footage I talked about earlier but Idk if it was the boss or whomever or even his specific charge, they also told me they would be looking into this specific junkyard for any other vehicles reported stolen. they said they haven’t been able to get in contact with my ex just yet but they’re working on it. I’m just so glad they found my car. luckily I made quite an album of pictures detailing me tearing down the car and so I can use that to prove what parts they had were mine so I can hopefully get most or all of it back. police haven’t let me take it back home yet as they say it is evidence or something so hopefully I can get it back eventually. thank you all so much for the support and advice! SHE’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

Ok First and Foremost…

This whole situation did this guy a favor, not only is this chick Bat Shit Crazy but just the reasoning involved. I mean this is a car not an old Led Zeppelin concert shirt and even then you just don’t give other peoples shit away. You just don’t !! hell I am still heartbroken over the shit my mom has sold of mine at our garage sales in the mid 80s.

Imagine if he married this girl it would have only gotten worse, She did all of this BECAUSE she wanted to park in the garage. They were on acres of land a whole other places to park she would have been fine. But no she had to have that spot in the garage. And she knew how much he loved that car Think Dean Winchester here guys so I totally get it.

And lets not forget the phone calls he was getting from her family and loved ones. No way no how are those logical individuals. And says everything about why she is the way she is. They were saying that he ruined her life and blah blah blah, meanwhile she was the one who waited till he left on a business trip and gave his car away without the bill of sale by the way.

Imagine coming home then finding out your car is gone and given away, she just thought he was going to be totally fine with it and say “Thank You Honey”

I would have kicked her out right there and then.

And not only that this poor bastard is doubting himself so much in fact that he felt that he had to make a post on Reddit about it.

Dude if you ever read this. I am totally with you on this, and as a fellow Impala owner if you ever need help. I am game to make a road trip !!!
