When I was younger my uncle was trying to teach me to play golf. I sucked, still do. On the golf course I was hitting balls all over the place, cussing and screaming. Then on the 16th hole par 3, I hit this beautiful shot that landed on the green. He looked at me and said, "and that's why you'll be back next week."
Well, this thread is why we come to the OT everyday.

quote:Obviously I agree the OP shouldn't be on the hook for anything, and the shop was shady.
At the end of the day, the shop that has it gets nothing, Zilch, nada. According to the investigator, this was explained to all parties today. The OP is in no way on the hook for any charges whatsoever. They actually had a chance to get the storage fees. In my opinion they waived that when they illegally tried to extort the cost of repairs and started the abandonment process attempting to take possession of the motorcycle.
But my question is, when someone brings a vehicle into a shop, is it some sort of standard procedure for the shop to confirm the person who brought it in actually owns it? Is there some sort of registry of stolen vehicles that they should be checking as well?
I'm just thinking in general(not this shady shop) it seems a bit unfair for the shop to just be out of money, but then I'm wondering if there's some way they should be filtering these out before they even put any work into these vehicles?

Don't feel bad for the shop owner. You'll understand in time.

I would think after holding the bike for almost a year they would check that at some point. I was conveniently notified the month the statue of limitations was up in Louisiana.

The shop still has a potential claim for unjust enrichment.

I would do the opposite, send a picture of it just sitting in the garage with the caption, "I don't even ride anymore, do you know anybody interested in buying?"
Yep tell the shop you will do them a solid and let them have first dibs on buying it.
ETA: Glad OP got his bike back. Kudos to eitek for helping out.

That's only if they actually did the work claimed.

I don’t understand how the shop can have a claim for unjust enrichment. Don’t they have a duty to confirm that the bike wasn’t stolen and/or the person authorizing the work can legally do so? I find it hard to believe that I can just take anyone’s car to a body shop, order a ton of work then leave them legally responsible for the bill.
