I am inquiring on the minnesota state law of abandonment of a vehicle. statute 168b.03
here is what happened.
I was given an 85 ford ranger for free to me, for I needed a vehicle, it was not in the greatest shape but got me from point a to b. I had to go and pick up my car from St. Louis, and so I went to budget rental to get a car, I asked where to park my vehicle, and they said in the parking lot in the back, can park as long as I want to.
There were a few parking lots in the back, so I parked in one, it was the HOME (dept store) parking lot. Well, I left the truck there for approx 2 1/2-3 weeks.
When I finally had someone to help me get the truck, I went to get it, and it was gone...then I had to go up north to my families for a week. When I got back on a friday...I had a certified letter. It was dated the 2nd, and that my car has been impounded as of the 23rd, and with charges and $20 a day for storage fees, I owe as of today 527 dollars. I ahve to pay in cash to get the vehicle out. I jsut got out of military, and only have temp job, trying to get money to bring my wife over here from germany...and I really cannot afford this. Is there any loopholes?
The only one that I seen, was something that a peace officer had to contact me within 10 days of impoundment...it was 11 when I recieved the registered slip..so I dunno if that will work.
please, I need help...I only make 1200 a month, and with bills, rent (350), and starting college next month, I really cannot afford this.
any suggestions?
please e-mail with reply as soon as possible.
thx
