After his girlfriend hires people to scrap his beloved 1967 Impala, a devastated John takes her to court to get justice for the time, effort, and money he put into restoring the car.
He Loved Cars
John had always been a car enthusiast, and when he bought his 1967 Impala 4-door in February 2019, he was over the moon. He had big plans for the car, and when he bought his first house with a 2.5-car garage a few months ago, he saw it as the perfect opportunity to restore it finally. He spent hours every day working on the car, tearing it down piece by piece for a complete restoration.
Trouble Began
However, trouble began when his girlfriend, Emily, moved in with him a couple of months ago. She hated the car and wanted to park her own car in the garage. John tried to reason with her, telling her that he had 2 acres of land with plenty of space to park her car, but she wouldn’t budge.
She Hired Scrapmen
Things came to a head when John went out of town for a business trip. When he returned home, he found that Emily had hired people to come and move everything related to the car, including the drivetrain, body, and chassis, and take it to the local dump/scrapyard. He was absolutely dumbfounded.
“I couldn’t believe it,” John said. “I had spent over 11k on that car, and she just threw it all away like it was nothing.”
He Was Furious
John was furious and immediately told Emily that it was over between them. He also hired a lawyer and planned to take her to court.
“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,” he said. “I think I can win.”
They Were Not Supportive
However, Emily’s family and friends were not supportive. They told John that the car was just a stupid old piece of junk and that he should let it go. But John was determined to get justice for what Emily had done. “I’ve been putting all my time, effort, and money into that car for a year and a half now,” he said. “I am going to get justice for what she did.”
He Struggled
Despite the support of his friends and family, John was still struggling to come to terms with what had happened. “I can’t believe she did this to me,” he said. “I loved that car, and she just threw it away like it was nothing. It’s going to take me a long time to get over this.” As John began to gather all the evidence he needed for his case, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of betrayal. Emily had known how much the car meant to him, and yet she had gone behind his back and destroyed it.
“It’s not just about the money,” John said. “It’s about the time and effort I put into that car. I can’t believe she would do something like this.”
He Was Determined
Despite the emotional toll the situation was taking on him, John remained determined to see it through. He knew that he deserved justice for what had happened, and he was willing to fight for it. As the court date approached, John’s nerves were on edge. He had never been in a situation like this before, and he didn’t know what to expect.
“It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions,” John said. “But I know that I’m in the right, and I’m going to do everything I can to win this case.”
Justice Was Served
Finally, the day of the court hearing arrived. John and Emily sat on opposite sides of the courtroom, both looking nervous and tense. John’s lawyer presented all the evidence, including the receipts and the security camera footage. Emily’s lawyer tried to argue that the car was just a piece of junk and that John was overreacting. But in the end, the judge ruled in John’s favor. Emily was ordered to pay him back the full amount he had spent on the car, as well as additional damages for emotional distress.
“It was a huge relief,” John said. “I finally felt like I had gotten the justice I deserved.”
Straight to the Internet
Despite the outcome of the court case, John was still struggling to come to terms with what had happened. He knew that he would never be able to trust Emily again fully, and that the betrayal would always be in the back of his mind. He decided to ask a popular internet forum for their advice on what he should do in this situation.
The Internet Responds
One person writes, “Sue her for the cost plus a few extra thousand for the time and money. Have her prosecuted for theft, and destruction of private property, and have the guys that came to get it prosecuted for receiving stolen goods. Nail them all to the wall.”
Another Response
Someone else comments, “How do you have the nerve to do something like that in someone’s home? She isn’t even your wife!! She went too far, and I say you dodged a bullet.”
A Final Response
A third person writes, “She sounds entitled and controlling. This is ridiculously wrong.”
