The Story Behind the Truck

Jack and I got a truck while we were together. It was in both our names and then he had a car in his name. 

Let’s take a time out real quick and note that the only reason he had a vehicle was because I traded in my car. I did this so we could better his credit. Yes, I have my dumbass moments but I like to think of it as being 

a good person.

Let me also point out that I put the down payment on the truck with my own money.

When Jack and I were going through the break up, I assumed I would get the truck and Jack would get the car. Makes sense right?!? Well not to Jack. He wanted the truck and told me he would not give it up. So that left me with a car that wasn’t in my name. I am pretty sure we can see where this is going.

Jack said he would pay the car payment in lieu of child support. Haha! I am sure we all know the outcome of this.

Since I have a lot of cops who are friends, I asked what Jack could do. The answer was nothing. It was a civil matter and the cops couldn’t do anything and he would not be able to report the car stolen because it wasn’t.  Also, we were both on the insurance for the car and lived together.

All this knowledge gave me the confidence to play his games. After a few months of having the car, no payments were made by Jack. He decided to call me and inform me that I had to make the car current or he would call the cops.

Me- Okay. Well you do whatever you think is necessary.

Jack- I’m serious. I am going to call the cops and report the car in stolen and they will arrest you.

Me- Okay. Well I am not making the car current since you were supposed to pay it in lieu of child support.

Jack- I never said that I would pay the car. I have to pay the truck. Pay it or I call the cops.

Me- Well I guess you will have to call the cops then.

Jack- Fine, then I want the car in my possession by the weekend or I am calling the cops.

Me- Am I going to get the truck in this process?

Jack- Nope, I am going to keep both vehicles.

Me- Hahah okay tough guy. If you want the car then you can get it yourself.

I hung up after that. What a waste. During this time my dad was looking for another vehicle for me. He found one and bought it and we left Jack’s car at my dad’s work to be picked up by the financial company.

A few days later I received a call from a police officer. He must have been screwed by a guy because he was a dick. He didn’t want to listen to me or cared that the truck was in my name as well. After listening to his condescending lecture for a few minutes, I told him that the car is getting repossessed and good luck recovering it. Seriously. Wtf. I am guessing he didn’t like that answer and sent the Sherrif’s to my house. They talked to my dad and he finally told him where the truck was.

However, Jack didn’t get the car back right away. He had to get the car current in order to get the car back. Haha that made my day!

It was a while before he was able to get the car current and when he did he asked for the keys. I told him I didn’t have the keys. He wasn’t a happy camper and bitched about having to get a whole new set. After bitching about how much money he spent getting a new set. I started laughing and asked him if he wanted the keys back. The look on his face…. PRICELESS!
