    khaning, you are calling a respected member of our community a psycho! I don't see anything in JKTs reply that remotely indicates she is quoting you. She is merely replying to your post.

    Please don't use the comments feature. If you want proper feedback then use the reply feature, or if you can't be respectful to members, don't post at all.

    Comment on JudyKayTee's post -
    I was telling him the cops would already be there if he did. Stop quoting me psycho!!!!

    khaning does not find this helpful : this person is copying and pasting my responses to be a jerk!!


    I don't know what World you live in, business career included, but this is not how "we" behave at AMHD. You may agree with me or not agree with me. You may dispute what I post or not dispute what I post. I quote what I'm answering so that people reading through know what I'm addressing.

    Again, you read things into this thread which were not posted and gave your (incorrect) advice based on that information.

    We don't engage in name calling here. I would suggest you read the AMHD rules.

    You are insulting people in every post - I have no idea where your attitude is coming from but it is most inappropriate. Your comments to me, your name calling, are inappropriate and indicate you didn't bother to read the AMHD rules and have little grasp of how AMHD works.

    Your comments to J9 are insulting to her and show your character (or lack thereof). https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-...ns-578488.html

    Judy is right here. It doesn't matter who purchased the car, it only matters who owns the car and the owner is the person on the title.

    This means she can report the car as stolen and you can be arrested for auto theft. Would you be convicted of auto theft? I doubt it. You show you purchased the car and that she wanted it transferred to your name and the criminal case will, very likely, not even be prosecuted or, if so, dismissed.

    But since the car is in her name and you have possession and refuse to turn it over, the police might get involved.

    Since posting here, several things have happened. I received 9 nasty emails and texts threatening me with violence by her so called friends. At that point I just picked up the phone and called the sheriffs office informing them of the situation which I'm dealing with and what has been going on. I was told by the deputy, if I had everything I claimed, I would have my rights to the car, but is a civil matter and I would have to go in front of a judge in small claims. He was very informative and let me know that she made some inconsistent statements and couldn't come up with where the car was purchased, who the seller was and how much was paid for it. Tuesday morning I will be filing in court not only for her to sign the title of the car to me, but filing a restraining order for harassment and threats of bodily injury. I want to thank everyone here that's responded and helped me with information. Please try to get along and be peaceful with one another. Thank you everyone!!

    Calling the sheriff's office to report the threats and harassment was the right thing to do. Taking the word of a deputy on the law was NOT the right thing to do. Police officers are barely trained in the law and should not be considered an authority.

    The only correct advice was to go to small claims court. But its not a slam dunk that you will win. All she has to do is state that the car was a gift. Unless you can convince the judge otherwise, the car may be awarded to her.

    I'm glad you came back - let us know how this works out. (And Scott is right - the Police don't know much about civil matters. They try but they have little experience.)
