My question involves personal property located in the State of: PA
I am a partner in a powersports repair business. On 9/23/08 a gentleman dropped off three ATV's to be repaired. We repaired them in under 48 hrs. We have attempted to call the owner numerous times. The address and phone number he gave us are not viable. We have sent him certified registered letters and still have not heard anything.
The total of the bill is some $454 for the repairs. We really need the space and would like to get them out of our shop.
I called the PA DCNR with the vin #'s and the owner never registered them.
They also have no record of him ...using the name he supplied. They suggested I call the police and have the police issue an abandoned vehicle report and that I could then submit that to the DCNR and ask for titles to be issued to us.
I called the police and was told that since they were not left on public property they could not be considered abandoned vehicles.
I'm not looking to screw anybody but I would like to be paid for the work I've done and get them out of the shop.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
