Yea, there's definitely not a cult of personality around Trump. You're right and very smart.

i saw one in north cascades NP this summer!

Yeah man he's a sketchy ex junkie but currently it is at my stepmothers property and I'm out of state crabbing. So he can't physically do anything to me he's just doing a bunch of empty threats. He's claiming the 700 is his but I don't think thats how it works.

It is currently a civil matter. Now as that car sits on your property if he decides to pick it up and move it, then it matters who’s name it is in. By your story it sounds like it is in your name. If he moves the car report it stolen if you so choose, but don’t obfuscate any facts or your knowledge of who took it or why because then it’s a false report. Also know that when you do that he’s going to go to jail for felony take motor vehicle without permission. The reality is he is never going to pay you and you probably get to keep his 700$ but in that world he’s probably also going to retaliate, remember when you described him as a ‘sketchy ex junkie’? Yeah, those guys tend to hold grudges. Decisions decisions

To everyone who helped me and gave me advice thank you and all of you have merry Christmas seriously. And a happy new year. Yall have been a huge help I had no idea what to do. Now I realize I'm completely in my rights

Exactly. I'll tell him the only way he's picking it up is if he pays me the rest of the money

You’re probably still the registered owner with the DMV, so the cops aren’t going to help him take the car if that’s so.

Roger that. I should have a title somewhere but I'm having trouble finding it but regardless the car is on my property currently.

If the title is in your name this is entirely a civil issue. Cops aren't going to help him take a car that's not his and you could report it as stolen if he did take it. He could try to sue you over it, which could make things more complicated, but currently it's not his car in the eyes of the law

nowhere did i say that. i just want OP to recognize that their own actions are also very dangerous, because they seem to be oblivious to that.

For all I know he could've stolen parts off my car and is now asking for his money just to make a buck. The guy is an ex heroin/fentantyl junkie with face tats etc. Sketchy character and it was stupid of me to trust him and not sell to someone else.

You too man have a great Christmas and happy new years. Sounds like I'm completely within my rights from everything I've been reading on reddit. Thank you all for the help.

I'm assuming Vancouver, Washington? This time of year is dicey for weather and road conditions. I have AWD and haven't had to deal with chains for a long time. Really check Washington Dept of Transportation webpage for real time info for which way has best road conditions. https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/

Good luck my man! Merry Christmas to you and your family

Roger that brother. I completely agree. Legally he is fucked

Thanks a lot for replying to me bro I was worried sick to be honest when he started threatening me.

Caveat emptor isn't just a fancy saying, it's how these things are legally handled.

I’d actually say it extends past Olympia and is awful all the way to Seattle. It’s the scariest stretch of interstate I’ve ever encountered.

Doesn't this sound like he's completely trying to scam me to get the car for half the price? That is what it seems like to me. If we go to court I will win I know he has no money for lawyers and I would counter sue him or win in civil court.

I've never experienced it. But I have a co-worker who had someone do this to him near Chehalis.

If you have the title, he is screwed pure and simple. The police will tell him to settle it in Civil Court. Call the police where the car is and report him. Tell them about the threats and everything else. Do this right away. Document everything. I live in Washington stste too. He can't do shit without a bill of sale or a title. He's just blowing smoke up your ass. Tell him to go fuck himself.

Please report any sightings so they can try to keep these darn things out.
