I HAD TAKEN MY 1984 HONDA ACCORD IN FOR BRAKES TO MY MECHANIC. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR ON THE LIFT HE STATED THAT THE FRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT THAT IT POSED A THREAT TO ME DRIVING AND THEREFORE REFUSED TO MAKE ANY FURTHER REPAIRS ON IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MARYSVILLE TIRE AND AUTO SVS FOR A 2ND OPINION AND THERE, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT HE TOO WOULD NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS FOR THAT VERY SAME REASON. HE SUGGESTED THE AUTO BE SALVAGED. REVIEWING MY OPTIONS, I RELUCTANTLY AGREED AND HE OFFERED TO SALVAGE IT FOR ME. THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY MORNING I TOOK THE TITLE TO HIS SHOP AND SIGNED A WAIVER RELINQUISHING THE TITLE. ON AUGUST 19TH, 2003 AFTER WORK I STOPPED INTO A LOCAL GROCERY STORE AND MY CAR WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT. MARYSVILLE TIRE AND AUTO SERVICE, HAD TAKEN MY CAR AND SOLD IT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH ME..NOW WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS OR PROVIDE ME WITH THE WAIVER I HAD SIGNED..*AK
