Oh, yes, I had to sue a cowboy "mechanic" for bankruptcy and have a
bailiff retireve my 75 Bay, which he had illegally impounded (because
he was trying to charge me a year's storage for a repair he had been
ordered by the court to do a year before). He wrecked the van, but
the case wrecked his business, so I guess some good came of it.

Then again, having worked in the taxi business, I see that the the
customer is anything BUT always right. Someone in business has to
stick up for his rights too.

I hope you get your money, Ben... or make a profit on selling the van!
