    Mechanic Kept Couple’s 1996 Ford Mustang For Years

    Seems to be an odd story. People in New Jersey have no legal recourse?


    People often take their cars to mechanics for repairs, and sometimes the repairs take longer than expected to be completed. It’s easy enough, even though annoying, to understand a delay of a few weeks if busy or parts are back-ordered. What’s not easy to understand is a delay of a year, much less a delay of five to seven years. An elderly couple who own a 1996 Ford Mustang went to the Trenton Police Department to report their car stolen on July 30.

    The 83-year-old man and his 82-year-old wife went to the police to report the car stolen and say that the mechanic has had their car for five to seven years and has refused to respond to their repeated attempts to get their 1996 Ford Mustang back.

    The unnamed mechanic in the case that is alleged to have stolen the red 1996 Ford Mustang is 79-years-old.

    Yeah, I thought this article was going to mention a far southern state with a lot of sunshine.
