Uhhh, how would you be in trouble? If that's your car, and you feel they're doing something with it that they shouldn't(which they were), it's your responsibility to take it back. Personally, I would've walked up to the fVcker, told him to give me the keys to my car back, and left. If he would've refused, I would've sued the living hell out of them.

I go back to the shop 4 days later and my car is not there......WTF? I ask the guy, "oh yeah they took it to get it waxed!"......o.k. I sit back and wait all day for my car to come back....nothing. the shop closed at 7:00 p.m. and my car never came back......huh! the next day I go an hour after they opened and as I'm getting close to the office door this guy runs out, "I'm gonna go get breakfast, hey mike you want a coffee?" and hops into my car! HELL NO!
since I had just bought the car and didnt have insurance on it and didnt have a tag I had my boy follow the guy. he went to dounkin dounuts and got off. I had given the shop one of my two keys, I had the other one. no alarm. I got in and took off, I went got the car registered, got my tag got a clifford and never got withing 6 city blocks of that shop ever again!
I took a huge risk though because if they had my VIN I would be in jail now but I was really stupid back then.

Hahahaha oh man that was good for a laugh.
I would have called the shop or returned to the shop to ask where my damn car was just to mess with them for doing something like that.

I do the same with BMW...if they need to drive my car a bit to make sure everythign is ok, thats one thing, but if its more than 10 miles, I start to bitch about it.

i took mine to the mitsu dealership and it had an extra 100miles on it...i didn't say anything because i knew i'd be needing a new tranny and motor later on (hopefully b4 warranty is up) they did say they checked the 1-2 shift (felt rough before) and had everyone drive it to make sure....

that body shop though, i would have definitely gone back and messed with them just for kicks

[street_racer_00]

haha the first time I got tires for my maxima:
guy: "your car's ready"
me: "thank you"
guy: "it's pretty fast for a front-wheel driver"
me: (not out loud) "WTF!!?!?!?!"
I guess shit like that is just gonna happen...

[Underground_Killah]

after my friend had his rear wheel tires burned around 10k miles off of them at a goodyear dealership.... i never trusted anyone again with my car or anyone elses (that's why i make sure we stand out there with them when they work on frankencar or the tib
