A person was driving through Colorado when their car broke down. They called for a tow, and paid for the towing service. They asked the tow truck operator about storage fees and, after the tow truck driver checked with the lot, the tow truck driver said that the lot was willing to waive storage fees.
The owner lived in another state, so between distance and the need for money it was five weeks before they got in touch with the storage lot. The lot owner was very angry and said that he was in the process of preparing to sell the truck to satisfy a storage lien. He won't release the truck without the payment of significant storage fees.
How can the owner get the truck back?
