I stole my car from a mechanic once.

Senior year of high school.

Transmission going out and I brought it in for an estimate.

He said something like 3k for the transmission and that it also needed the cam shaft replaced and quoted a few hundred.

Told him I wasn't sure about the transmission and didn't want to fix the shaft if I was gonna get a new car and ride thid one til it died.

His daughter was graduating with me and he said to think on it and let him know and we'd talk after graduation.

Called after and he was on vacation for two weeks. Called week 3 and he was in the hospital.

Finally he gets back and calls me and I tell him I'd like to pick it up and don't want work done. He said he already did the cam shaft and it was however much but he wouldn't touch the transmission.

I told him I wouldn't pay and that he was never authorized to do the work and after arguing back him saying leaving it there that long was authorization and forth over a few days one night I just took my spare had my cousin drive me down there and took my car back. It was even parked on the street and I didn't have to argue with him.

He never called me again.

Anyways a few months later the car was completely failing and I was gonna have to spend my motorcycle fund on a new car. The car got hit and insurance paid out 3500 on a car I paid 1500 for. I loved that car and the final gift was getting a car and a bike.
