1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:03,200
He's got your truck. You say, "Fix it."

2
00:00:03,266 --> 00:00:03,934
[Dena] Mm-hmm.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,600
She verbally told me
that it was stolen.

4
00:00:05,667 --> 00:00:08,467
And I don't want anything to do
with a stolen vehicle.

5
00:00:08,533 --> 00:00:09,867
No, it's not stolen.

6
00:00:09,934 --> 00:00:13,600
You don't have the bill of sale,
you don't have any pink slip on it.

7
00:00:13,667 --> 00:00:14,967
No, they got stolen.

8
00:00:15,033 --> 00:00:17,100
[laughs]

9
00:00:17,166 --> 00:00:18,433
What you just told me is a lie.

10
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:21,333
[announcer]
Today on Tribunal Justice.

11
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,967
[theme music playing]

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,900
[announcer] This case was filed
in Bakersfield, California.

13
00:00:45,967 --> 00:00:48,934
Judge, this is case number 1078
on the calendar

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
in the matter of
Vanscoy versus Walker.

15
00:00:52,066 --> 00:00:54,900
Parties have been sworn in.
You may be seated.

16
00:00:54,967 --> 00:00:56,967
-Thank you, Byrd.
-[Byrd] Yep.

17
00:00:57,033 --> 00:00:59,500
[Patricia]
Ms. Vanscoy. Mr. Walker.

18
00:00:59,567 --> 00:01:03,834
About two years ago, you bought
a 20-year-old Ford pickup truck.

19
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:05,800
You paid about $3,000 for it back then.

20
00:01:05,867 --> 00:01:07,433
You said it ran for a while.

21
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,867
But after a few months, it started
to make a slight knocking sound.

22
00:01:10,934 --> 00:01:13,066
You and the defendant
were good friends at the time.

23
00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:14,567
You knew he was unemployed.

24
00:01:14,633 --> 00:01:16,700
He does some side work as a mechanic.

25
00:01:16,767 --> 00:01:19,734
You knew if you brought the car to him,
it would be quick and inexpensive.

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,000
So you reached out.

27
00:01:21,066 --> 00:01:25,166
You came up with an oral agreement
where you would pay him $600

28
00:01:25,233 --> 00:01:28,934
and buy the parts,
and he would fix your car, check it out.

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,767
So you said it needed an oxygen sensor
and a carburetor cleaner,

30
00:01:32,834 --> 00:01:33,734
something like that.

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,700
-Would that be correct?
-Uh, partially.

32
00:01:35,767 --> 00:01:38,033
The prices started to add up.
Things were happening.

33
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:39,467
You had a friend who went to jail,

34
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:42,667
and his parents said
you could buy his car.

35
00:01:42,734 --> 00:01:44,800
It didn't run,
but you could've bought it for parts.

36
00:01:44,866 --> 00:01:46,366
You bought the car.

37
00:01:46,433 --> 00:01:49,767
Ends up that you needed
that engine, you felt,

38
00:01:49,834 --> 00:01:51,400
'cause it would be cheaper
in the long run.

39
00:01:51,467 --> 00:01:53,567
Well, it didn't turn out quite that way.

40
00:01:53,633 --> 00:01:57,133
But the bottom line is,
you said you gave him $600,

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,233
he only did $200 worth of work,
you want 400.

42
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:02,767
You say you did
at least $400 worth of work.

43
00:02:02,834 --> 00:02:06,433
You don't owe her anything.
She basically breached the contract.

44
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:08,734
So tell us about your truck.

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,867
Well, yeah, first, um, he said,
"I'll work on the truck."

46
00:02:12,934 --> 00:02:15,166
"I'll give you $600,"
to make his truck payment.

47
00:02:15,233 --> 00:02:16,233
And you were gonna buy the parts too.

48
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:17,734
[Dena] Yeah, I was gonna buy
all the parts and everything.

49
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,466
Okay.

50
00:02:18,533 --> 00:02:20,333
And then right when he made
his truck payment

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,900
or whatever he did with the $600,

52
00:02:21,966 --> 00:02:25,800
then all of a sudden, my truck
had to be towed away from his place.

53
00:02:25,867 --> 00:02:27,700
Okay. So far, accurate?

54
00:02:27,767 --> 00:02:28,600
No.

55
00:02:28,667 --> 00:02:29,567
[Patricia]
How could that be?

56
00:02:29,633 --> 00:02:31,400
[Anthony] Well, the very first thing
out of her mouth was,

57
00:02:31,466 --> 00:02:35,333
after she dropped the car off,
it had to immediately be towed away.

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,966
I had that vehicle
for almost three and a half weeks,

59
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:42,200
first of all, and she brought this car
and said it needed smogged.

60
00:02:42,266 --> 00:02:44,000
[Patricia] But wait, did she
pay you up front like she just said?

61
00:02:44,066 --> 00:02:45,233
Yes. Yes, she did.

62
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:46,966
-So she gave you the 600 up front.
-Yes, she did.

63
00:02:47,033 --> 00:02:49,667
When you told her it needed
the O2 sensor and the other thing--

64
00:02:49,734 --> 00:02:52,066
That is incorrect.
There was a whole lot more than that.

65
00:02:52,133 --> 00:02:55,466
The O2 sensors behind the cat--
there was nothing there.

66
00:02:55,533 --> 00:02:58,966
I had to literally weld
a new piece in there to hold 'em.

67
00:02:59,033 --> 00:03:01,533
-And I had no idea...
Did you ask that it be fixed for smog?

68
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,033
-One second.
-...about any knocking.

69
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:04,533
Did you get it?
Did you need it smogged?

70
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,400
No, I just wanted the truck fixed
and running again

71
00:03:07,467 --> 00:03:09,633
so I could go back and forth to work.

72
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:11,633
But you can't drive a truck
that's not smogged.

73
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,000
I needed it to be fixed
before I got it smogged.

74
00:03:14,066 --> 00:03:16,300
Were you going to do the smog test?

75
00:03:16,367 --> 00:03:18,800
[Anthony]
An O2 sensor is for smog.

76
00:03:18,867 --> 00:03:21,033
I already knew that this vehicle
had major issues.

77
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:24,966
What I didn't know, that the inside
of that engine was shattered, basically.

78
00:03:25,033 --> 00:03:27,000
Does he tell you
you have an engine problem?

79
00:03:27,066 --> 00:03:29,633
Well, yes, he sent me pictures
of the cracked engine

80
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,233
after he took off the intake
and the valve covers

81
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:34,166
and the rocker boxes.

82
00:03:34,233 --> 00:03:36,066
Now you decide
you're gonna put a new engine in.

83
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:37,433
Do you ever get an engine?

84
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:38,700
Yes, I have another engine.

85
00:03:38,767 --> 00:03:40,266
Where did you get it?
Is that from the--

86
00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:42,900
-[Dena] I got it from my friend--
-The guy in jail, his car?

87
00:03:42,966 --> 00:03:45,166
-Yeah, his parents sold me the whole car.
-A stolen one.

88
00:03:45,233 --> 00:03:46,500
No, it's not stolen.

89
00:03:46,567 --> 00:03:49,633
And I don't want anything to do
with a stolen vehicle.

90
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:51,667
What was the indication
that the car was stolen?

91
00:03:51,734 --> 00:03:53,700
There was no locks.
One of the windows was broken.

92
00:03:53,767 --> 00:03:55,600
The back rear window was broken out.

93
00:03:55,667 --> 00:03:58,466
I mean, it was not rocket science
that it was stolen.

94
00:03:58,533 --> 00:04:01,467
Okay. How do you know it
just wasn't abandoned by these people?

95
00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:02,600
I don't know if it was or not.
She didn't have a title for it.

96
00:04:02,667 --> 00:04:05,533
Okay, so you decide it's stolen.
You tell her, "I'm not putting it in.

97
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,667
I strictly asked her, "Do you have a title
or any paperwork on this vehicle?"

98
00:04:08,734 --> 00:04:10,266
-And she says, "No, I do not."
-[Patricia] No.

99
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:13,100
Did you ever bring him
any of the documents for that vehicle?

100
00:04:13,166 --> 00:04:16,567
No, it was on my property.
He just came to look at it.

101
00:04:16,632 --> 00:04:18,233
I didn't, at the time, I didn't go,

102
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,065
"Oh, look, I got the pink slip"
or anything.

103
00:04:20,132 --> 00:04:22,100
I just didn't think it really mattered.

104
00:04:22,166 --> 00:04:23,667
What kind of car was this
that you bought?

105
00:04:23,734 --> 00:04:25,367
It was a Ford Expedition.

106
00:04:25,433 --> 00:04:26,233
[Patricia]
How old was it?

107
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:27,400
[Dena]
I don't know exactly what year it was.

108
00:04:27,467 --> 00:04:28,332
Approximately.

109
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,166
It was maybe 2002.

110
00:04:30,233 --> 00:04:32,900
And now you say that your landlord
won't let you work on the truck

111
00:04:32,967 --> 00:04:35,700
in your driveway,
or was that a lie just to get her out?

112
00:04:35,767 --> 00:04:37,834
She had a problem with me working on it.

113
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,933
Yeah, I would too. I don't want people
fixing cars in my garage.

114
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,166
[Anthony]
I worked on it.

115
00:04:42,233 --> 00:04:43,767
[Patricia]
How much work would you say you did?

116
00:04:43,834 --> 00:04:45,834
I got 26 hours in that vehicle.

117
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:47,834
Twenty-six?
You could've built the whole car.

118
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:50,633
I sure could've. You look at the wiring
that had to be done, you would know that.

119
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:52,800
And she towed it because I told her,

120
00:04:52,867 --> 00:04:55,066
"I cannot have this vehicle
just sitting here

121
00:04:55,133 --> 00:04:57,467
without you being able to pay
for the engine or pay for the parts."

122
00:04:57,533 --> 00:05:01,033
So once you had the car towed,
you knew you couldn't do any work on it.

123
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,633
Me not being able to work on it there

124
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:05,266
had nothing to do with
why she took that vehicle.

125
00:05:05,333 --> 00:05:08,266
She took the vehicle because I said,
"It cannot just be sitting here

126
00:05:08,333 --> 00:05:12,367
unless you have the money
or come up with these parts."

127
00:05:12,433 --> 00:05:13,834
The problem is you just keep talking.

128
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:15,367
Okay, I'm sorry. Apologize.

129
00:05:15,433 --> 00:05:17,834
[Patricia]
You couldn't continue to work on the truck

130
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:20,400
because you said
she wasn't paying you any more money.

131
00:05:20,467 --> 00:05:23,166
That particular time when that vehicle
was there, when I asked for the part

132
00:05:23,233 --> 00:05:24,567
and what needed to be replaced,

133
00:05:24,633 --> 00:05:27,734
she had no funds whatsoever
to pay for anything.

134
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,934
But she brings you this engine,
but you refused to put the engine--

135
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,133
Whether you're right or wrong about it,
you just didn't wanna put the engine in.

136
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,266
So when she takes the car,
it has had some work,

137
00:05:38,332 --> 00:05:40,467
not enough to put it back
into running shape.

138
00:05:40,533 --> 00:05:43,967
You don't have it anymore.
She's got it towed to a new guy.

139
00:05:44,033 --> 00:05:46,033
Does he ever put that engine in?

140
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:47,266
The engine is not in. I put--

141
00:05:47,332 --> 00:05:51,633
Me and my cousin put in
half of that engine, the engine bock,

142
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:52,500
'cause there was more parts on it.

143
00:05:52,567 --> 00:05:53,767
[Patricia]
Does the truck run?

144
00:05:53,834 --> 00:05:54,800
No, it does not run.

145
00:05:54,867 --> 00:05:57,266
So what about the truck
you bought from your friend's parents?

146
00:05:57,332 --> 00:05:58,600
[Dena]
I pulled the engine out of it,

147
00:05:58,667 --> 00:06:01,934
and I sold the body to someone else
who needed parts.

148
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,934
And I gave them the pink slip
and the body and everything.

149
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,066
So you have the truck.
It still doesn't run.

150
00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:08,133
You have an engine.
It's not in the truck.

151
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,166
-[Dena] Right, it's just--
-And you paid him six.

152
00:06:10,233 --> 00:06:11,100
Right, I paid him six.

153
00:06:11,166 --> 00:06:12,266
[Patricia]
You agree he did 200.

154
00:06:12,333 --> 00:06:15,333
I paid $200 more to have
the other mechanic say,

155
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,667
"Oh, this engine's not,
so you gotta get another engine."

156
00:06:17,734 --> 00:06:18,934
-[Patricia] All right, I'm done.
-So I got another engine.

157
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:19,867
[Patricia]
I think I got it.

158
00:06:19,934 --> 00:06:22,667
I feel like I'm not running
on all cylinders anymore.

159
00:06:22,734 --> 00:06:24,533
-Judge Levy.
-[clears throat] Thank you.

160
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Ms. Vanscoy,
I just wanna bring you back.

161
00:06:26,467 --> 00:06:27,133
Okay.

162
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,467
When was it that you purchased
this Ford F-150?

163
00:06:31,533 --> 00:06:35,400
The one that you wanted the defendant here
to get up and running.

164
00:06:35,467 --> 00:06:36,433
2020.

165
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:37,633
When in 2020?

166
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:41,433
I don't know exactly what month.
I don't know exactly.

167
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:45,400
I don't have the paper that I got,
the bill of sale.

168
00:06:45,467 --> 00:06:48,300
It got stolen when my place
got broken into.

169
00:06:48,367 --> 00:06:49,867
So I don't remember exactly

170
00:06:49,933 --> 00:06:51,867
without having the paperwork
in front of me.

171
00:06:51,933 --> 00:06:56,166
So this Ford F-150,
you don't have the bill of sale,

172
00:06:56,233 --> 00:06:58,533
you don't have any pink slip on it.

173
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,834
No, they got stolen.

174
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:01,300
[Adam]
They got stolen.

175
00:07:01,367 --> 00:07:02,300
You have the title to the car?

176
00:07:02,367 --> 00:07:05,400
They got stolen after all this took place.

177
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,133
And you don't have
registration to the car?

178
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,867
[Dena]
No, I haven't went.

179
00:07:07,934 --> 00:07:11,266
I'm not gonna go register a car
that doesn't even have an engine in it.

180
00:07:11,333 --> 00:07:15,000
Well, no, no, no. No, the Ford F-150,
it has an engine in it.

181
00:07:15,066 --> 00:07:17,266
It just wasn't able to get smog tested.

182
00:07:17,332 --> 00:07:20,033
So you bought it in 2020.

183
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:23,332
And what I wanna know is--
'cause you said it was running.

184
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,633
I wanna know how long
you were driving that Ford F-150 for

185
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,767
before you dropped it off at his house.

186
00:07:29,834 --> 00:07:32,467
Maybe six months, seven months.

187
00:07:32,533 --> 00:07:33,800
And you're just guessing?

188
00:07:33,867 --> 00:07:35,233
Yes, I am guessing.

189
00:07:36,066 --> 00:07:38,433
[announcer]
Coming up on Tribunal Justice.

190
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:39,767
This is how we're gonna do this.

191
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:41,567
You're gonna say something.
I know you're lying.

192
00:07:41,633 --> 00:07:42,467
I'm gonna ask you questions,

193
00:07:42,533 --> 00:07:44,200
and then you're gonna realize
that you were lying,

194
00:07:44,266 --> 00:07:45,700
and you're gonna move on
to another point.

195
00:07:45,767 --> 00:07:49,467
So either you're gonna admit
what you can't deny,

196
00:07:49,533 --> 00:07:52,567
or you're gonna deny it
and you're gonna be looking foolish.

197
00:07:57,533 --> 00:07:59,734
[theme music playing]

198
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,200
[announcer] Dena Vanscoy
is suing her former friend,

199
00:08:03,266 --> 00:08:06,367
Anthony Walker,
for a refund of truck repairs

200
00:08:06,433 --> 00:08:08,266
Anthony never finished.

201
00:08:08,333 --> 00:08:11,467
Anthony claims
he did plenty of work on her truck,

202
00:08:11,533 --> 00:08:14,633
but refused to put in a stolen engine.

203
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:17,033
So that means
that you bought it in 2020,

204
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:22,533
and then you drove it all through 2020
and all through 2021,

205
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,033
until you dropped it off at his place.

206
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:26,100
Yeah, until it started to break. Correct.

207
00:08:26,166 --> 00:08:28,300
[Adam] No. Well, no,
because what I'm hearing--

208
00:08:28,367 --> 00:08:29,332
[Dena] I drove it for a little bit
and it started to break.

209
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,467
What I'm hearing is that
your truck was in such bad shape,

210
00:08:33,533 --> 00:08:37,633
that you had to weld pieces together
and do all new wiring to get smog tested.

211
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,533
So my point to you is, listen,
you were driving a car,

212
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,767
you didn't have it registered.

213
00:08:41,834 --> 00:08:42,900
It wasn't insured.

214
00:08:42,967 --> 00:08:44,500
It wasn't smog tested.

215
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:48,200
You were just driving it around
until it wouldn't drive anymore,

216
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:49,834
and that's why you
dropped it off at his house.

217
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:51,767
[Dena]
The truck was in great condition.

218
00:08:51,834 --> 00:08:54,233
Here's a picture of my truck right here.
It was in good condition.

219
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:54,967
[Adam]
Oh, really?

220
00:08:55,033 --> 00:08:55,700
[Dena]
Yes, it was.

221
00:08:55,767 --> 00:08:57,233
-It was in great condition?
-[Dena] And it ran for a long while.

222
00:08:57,300 --> 00:08:59,700
-It was in such great condit--
-[Dena] Then it started knocking.

223
00:08:59,767 --> 00:09:01,333
-[Adam] It was in-- hold on.
-And he was gonna fix it.

224
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,500
[Adam]
Hold on.

225
00:09:02,567 --> 00:09:07,033
It was in such great condition that you
said that it needed a whole new engine.

226
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:09,967
So explain to me then
approximately when it went

227
00:09:10,033 --> 00:09:11,633
from being in such great condition

228
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:15,567
until it went to being this
two-and-a-half-ton pile of junk.

229
00:09:15,633 --> 00:09:17,967
Okay, okay.

230
00:09:18,033 --> 00:09:20,066
All it had was a knock in it.

231
00:09:20,133 --> 00:09:21,600
All he was gonna do is fix the knock.

232
00:09:21,667 --> 00:09:24,266
I don't know where any wiring
or anything came about.

233
00:09:24,333 --> 00:09:25,667
-He--
-[Adam] A knock?

234
00:09:25,734 --> 00:09:26,600
He sent me pictures of it.

235
00:09:26,667 --> 00:09:28,200
Hold on. Stop!
I'm gonna stop you.

236
00:09:28,266 --> 00:09:30,333
I'm gonna stop you 'cause
this is how we're gonna do this.

237
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,834
You're gonna say something.
I know you're lying.

238
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:32,567
I'm gonna ask you questions,

239
00:09:32,633 --> 00:09:34,433
and then you're gonna
realize that you were lying,

240
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:36,066
and you're gonna move on
to another point.

241
00:09:36,133 --> 00:09:40,033
So either you're gonna admit
what you can't deny,

242
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,433
or you're gonna deny it
and you're gonna be looking foolish.

243
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:45,967
So when you say that
you dropped it off to him,

244
00:09:46,033 --> 00:09:48,200
you dropped it off because,
what you're saying, it was knocking.

245
00:09:48,266 --> 00:09:50,133
It had a slight knock in it, yes.

246
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,266
-[Adam laughs]
-That's because--

247
00:09:52,333 --> 00:09:53,433
-It had a knock.
-[Dena] If you look at the picture...

248
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,633
-Oh, no, no, I'm not looking.
-...the rocker arms were coming off of it.

249
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,700
Ms. Vanscoy,
I'm not looking at a picture of an engine.

250
00:09:58,767 --> 00:10:01,100
I don't know whose engine that is.
I don't know care whose engine that is.

251
00:10:01,166 --> 00:10:04,367
All I care about, number one,
here are the facts.

252
00:10:04,433 --> 00:10:07,433
You bought a truck,
you don't have the title,

253
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:08,600
the registration.

254
00:10:08,667 --> 00:10:09,667
You have no insurance information for it.

255
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:10,700
[Dena]
I have the title and registration.

256
00:10:10,767 --> 00:10:12,100
You have? Show it to me.

257
00:10:12,166 --> 00:10:14,500
They got stolen,
but I did have them at the time.

258
00:10:14,567 --> 00:10:15,500
So you don't have them.

259
00:10:15,567 --> 00:10:18,100
So I'm gonna take judicial notice
of the fact you don't have them.

260
00:10:18,166 --> 00:10:21,133
This is your big day in court
to prove that this car was operational,

261
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,700
it was licensed, it was registered,
it was insured.

262
00:10:23,767 --> 00:10:24,767
You didn't bring any of that,

263
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:26,967
so I'm gonna take official notice
of what I have to.

264
00:10:27,033 --> 00:10:29,734
You then give it to him and you say
that you want him to fix it.

265
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,433
Now, you know that he's not
a full-time mechanic, right?

266
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:34,133
I guess he's not a mechanic.

267
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,700
Well, why don't you tell me,
what did you think he did for a living?

268
00:10:37,767 --> 00:10:40,200
Well, he wasn't doing nothing at the time
'cause he was unemployed.

269
00:10:40,266 --> 00:10:42,033
[Adam]
Oh, so he could've been like a librarian

270
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,233
who read lots of books
on how to fix stuff.

271
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:47,000
You have absolutely no idea if he knows
how to fix your Ford F-150.

272
00:10:47,066 --> 00:10:49,600
[Dena] I knew he knew how 'cause
he built his own little truck.

273
00:10:49,667 --> 00:10:51,433
-Oh.
-[Dena] Like, a '54 Chevy.

274
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:55,900
So you have absolutely no idea
what this man did for a living,

275
00:10:55,967 --> 00:10:57,165
but you feel comfortable
giving him 600 bucks...

276
00:10:57,233 --> 00:10:57,900
He works in an oil field.

277
00:10:57,967 --> 00:11:00,333
...and to do the best he can
with your truck.

278
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,467
Now, he tells you that
it needs to be smog tested.

279
00:11:02,533 --> 00:11:04,033
That's why you need the O2 censor.

280
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:07,066
I know absolutely nothing really
about that, not from California.

281
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,967
I will, however, say that
that is what an O2 censor is for.

282
00:11:10,033 --> 00:11:13,066
That's what you know it's for.
You know what it's not for? Knocking.

283
00:11:13,133 --> 00:11:14,367
-That's what it's not for.
-I know this.

284
00:11:14,433 --> 00:11:17,567
[Adam] He's telling you that you've
gotta get him parts and wiring

285
00:11:17,633 --> 00:11:19,367
for smog testing.

286
00:11:19,433 --> 00:11:22,300
So you never told him
about the knock, did you?

287
00:11:22,367 --> 00:11:23,867
He sent me pictures.

288
00:11:23,934 --> 00:11:26,600
[Adam] Show me.
You know what? I'll make it easy.

289
00:11:26,667 --> 00:11:28,934
I'm gonna make it easy.
Show me a text message.

290
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,667
-Ms. Vanscoy.
-[Anthony] After I tore it apart.

291
00:11:30,734 --> 00:11:33,300
Right now, you're doing okay.
We don't need you.

292
00:11:33,367 --> 00:11:35,400
-He tore it apart--
-[Adam] Ms. Vanscoy. Ms. Vanscoy.

293
00:11:35,467 --> 00:11:37,433
-This is why it was knocking.
-[Adam] Ms. Vanscoy.

294
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:38,867
You got a phone?
You got a cell phone there?

295
00:11:38,934 --> 00:11:40,600
-[Dena] If you would listen to me--
-Ms. Vanscoy, you got a cell phone?

296
00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:41,333
[Dena]
You're not even listening to me.

297
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,533
I know, because you're trying to
show me stuff that I don't wanna hear.

298
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,333
-He's the one that sent me the pictures.
-[Adam] I don't care.

299
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,600
So he knew it was knocking.

300
00:11:47,667 --> 00:11:49,165
I'm gonna get to that in a second.

301
00:11:49,233 --> 00:11:50,367
And you're not gonna like the questions

302
00:11:50,433 --> 00:11:52,266
'cause the questions I ask him
are gonna show

303
00:11:52,333 --> 00:11:53,934
that what you just told me is a lie.

304
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,467
Well, then he sent me
the pictures of this right here.

305
00:11:55,533 --> 00:11:57,800
Let's take those pictures
and put them away.

306
00:11:57,867 --> 00:11:58,700
[Dena]
Okay, well...

307
00:11:58,767 --> 00:11:59,600
-Put them away.
-[Dena] Why'd he send them to me?

308
00:11:59,667 --> 00:12:01,066
-Is that a phone?
-Yes, it is.

309
00:12:01,133 --> 00:12:02,233
-[Adam] Is that your phone?
-Yes, it is.

310
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:04,300
And does that phone
send text messages

311
00:12:04,367 --> 00:12:06,100
-and receive text messages?
-Yes, it does.

312
00:12:06,166 --> 00:12:08,433
I want you to show me
on that phone

313
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:11,734
text messages from when
you dropped the Ford F-150

314
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,934
in which you said it has a knocking
and please fix the knock.

315
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,800
-Take a second.
-I didn't text message that.

316
00:12:16,867 --> 00:12:18,300
I was at his house
talking to him about it.

317
00:12:18,367 --> 00:12:19,300
[Adam]
Okay, so--

318
00:12:19,367 --> 00:12:23,433
And I gave him $600
to find out what the knocking was about.

319
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,867
So he sent me pictures
after he took the intake off

320
00:12:26,934 --> 00:12:28,233
and said,
"This is why it's knocking."

321
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:31,433
And how long did he say,
according to you,

322
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,800
that it was gonna
take for your car to be fixed

323
00:12:33,867 --> 00:12:35,834
when you first
dropped it off at his house?

324
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:38,967
I can't believe the exact time he told me.

325
00:12:39,033 --> 00:12:41,165
It shouldn't have taken him
very long at all.

326
00:12:41,233 --> 00:12:43,367
It should take maybe
two weeks to fix it, maybe.

327
00:12:43,433 --> 00:12:44,800
Not even that long.

328
00:12:44,867 --> 00:12:50,633
Okay, my question,
how long did he say it was gonna take?

329
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:53,133
Well, he said he was gonna
have it done it within a week.

330
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,533
I said, "Can you do it within a week?"

331
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,800
So he did say how long.

332
00:12:57,867 --> 00:13:00,867
Ms. Vanscoy, I pay very close attention
to what people are saying to me.

333
00:13:00,934 --> 00:13:02,266
Right? And what happens is--

334
00:13:02,333 --> 00:13:04,934
But it changes.
It changed after that one week.

335
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,100
-Well, Ms. Vanscoy, let's do this.
-And I didn't know how long.

336
00:13:07,166 --> 00:13:09,133
Let's do this 'cause
these are the notes that I made

337
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,467
after looking at your complaint
and the answer.

338
00:13:12,467 --> 00:13:15,934
That you provided us
with evidence prior to coming in today

339
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,433
that you claim supports your case
and supports your request for $400.

340
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,000
And I wanna get back to that truck,

341
00:13:21,066 --> 00:13:24,133
which we now know
that you have no proof of payment for it.

342
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,066
You have no pink slips and all that.

343
00:13:26,133 --> 00:13:28,367
Let's talk about proof of the other car,

344
00:13:28,433 --> 00:13:30,667
this Ford Explorer
I think you said it was.

345
00:13:30,734 --> 00:13:32,600
-Yes.
-[Adam] Ford Explorer.

346
00:13:32,667 --> 00:13:34,233
You knew that his position was,

347
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:36,533
he's not going to work
on a car that's stolen.

348
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,900
-You know--
-It's not stolen.

349
00:13:37,967 --> 00:13:39,600
I'm not saying that it was.

350
00:13:39,667 --> 00:13:41,734
I'm saying you knew
that was his position, right?

351
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,667
-Yeah.
-[Adam] Right.

352
00:13:42,734 --> 00:13:45,165
So you, of course, came in today
and you wanna have evidence

353
00:13:45,233 --> 00:13:47,100
to show us that the car wasn't stolen.

354
00:13:47,165 --> 00:13:49,066
Right?

355
00:13:49,133 --> 00:13:50,367
Uh, right, I guess so.

356
00:13:50,433 --> 00:13:52,300
Good. Show it to me.

357
00:13:52,367 --> 00:13:53,400
Well, for one,
the windows weren't broken.

358
00:13:53,467 --> 00:13:55,567
I don't have anything
'cause I had to sell it afterwards.

359
00:13:55,633 --> 00:13:56,867
Show me the bill of sale.

360
00:13:56,934 --> 00:13:58,867
Okay, I don't have it
'cause I sold it and gave it to the guy.

361
00:13:58,934 --> 00:14:01,467
[Adam]
I'm done. Judge Acker.

362
00:14:01,533 --> 00:14:03,700
[Tanya chuckles]

363
00:14:03,767 --> 00:14:09,166
I mean, this is just quite a mess
you've got here, Ms. Vanscoy.

364
00:14:09,233 --> 00:14:09,900
Yeah.

365
00:14:09,967 --> 00:14:11,700
[Tanya]
I mean, but just take a step back,

366
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:16,834
and I want you to think about
what it is you are asking us to do.

367
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:21,934
You have come to court
with no proof that you own this car,

368
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,700
no proof of what you paid for the car.

369
00:14:24,767 --> 00:14:26,667
This is just your version.

370
00:14:26,734 --> 00:14:29,734
So then you've got this truck,
you give it to your friend,

371
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,500
and you say, "I got $600, fix it."

372
00:14:32,567 --> 00:14:33,834
He can't.

373
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:35,165
So why do you have a lawsuit?

374
00:14:35,233 --> 00:14:36,200
[Dena]
That was the deal in the beginning.

375
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:38,133
-Listen to me. Stop. Stop.
-"Can you fix my truck?"

376
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,500
[Tanya]
No, there's no deal.

377
00:14:39,567 --> 00:14:42,734
You gave him money to work on a truck.

378
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,200
He was not able to fix
your 20-year-old truck.

379
00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:48,133
-I gave him--
-[Tanya] And stop interrupting me.

380
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,300
I've been so patient.

381
00:14:49,367 --> 00:14:50,467
-I've been so patient.
-Well, you got it wrong.

382
00:14:50,533 --> 00:14:51,700
What you're saying is wrong.

383
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:55,165
[announcer]
Coming up on Tribunal Justice.

384
00:14:55,233 --> 00:15:00,266
Sir, was there ever a point
when you said this is just not worth it?

385
00:15:00,333 --> 00:15:01,967
I told her that
before the job even started.

386
00:15:02,033 --> 00:15:03,066
So why'd you take the money?

387
00:15:03,133 --> 00:15:05,834
Because I needed my truck payment
and at that particular time,

388
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,800
doing the smog,
I'd get her smog going.

389
00:15:07,867 --> 00:15:08,900
I would do the wiring--

390
00:15:08,967 --> 00:15:10,300
[Tanya]
You actually just helped her a little bit.

391
00:15:10,367 --> 00:15:11,800
I don't believe you either.

392
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,700
[theme music playing]

393
00:15:19,767 --> 00:15:21,100
[Tanya] What part is wrong?
Was the truck 20 years old?

394
00:15:21,166 --> 00:15:22,600
I gave him $600
to make his truck payment.

395
00:15:22,667 --> 00:15:24,400
Was the truck 20 years old?

396
00:15:24,467 --> 00:15:26,133
Yes, it was.

397
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,200
And how am I to know
that it was his incompetence,

398
00:15:31,266 --> 00:15:34,100
his negligence,
or just your old, crappy truck?

399
00:15:34,165 --> 00:15:36,200
-How do I know what the problem is?
-[Dena] If you take a look at the truck,

400
00:15:36,266 --> 00:15:37,333
it was not crappy, for one.

401
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,600
Oh, my goodness, ma'am.

402
00:15:38,667 --> 00:15:40,333
-[Dena] You got pictures, correct?
-I do.

403
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,133
I do have pictures,
but you understand how mechanics work.

404
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,133
You cannot show
three decision-makers

405
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,533
a picture of a vehicle and say,

406
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,834
"Look, it's in great shape,
and I had to get him to fix it."

407
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:56,734
Do we have a video of this truck?

408
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,233
-[Dena] Yeah--
-Did I hear that?

409
00:15:58,300 --> 00:15:59,500
Can we play the video?

410
00:16:00,734 --> 00:16:01,934
[Dena]
That's how it sits now

411
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,200
'cause I'm trying
to put another engine in it myself.

412
00:16:13,533 --> 00:16:17,834
So what I'm trying to explain to you,

413
00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:22,066
Ms. Vanscoy, is that simply by virtue
of the fact that something is wrong

414
00:16:22,133 --> 00:16:24,967
doesn't mean that it's his fault.

415
00:16:25,033 --> 00:16:26,934
It's an old truck.

416
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,400
It is your burden to demonstrate
by a preponderance of the evidence

417
00:16:30,467 --> 00:16:33,667
that whatever is wrong
with your truck is his fault

418
00:16:33,734 --> 00:16:35,165
and he should give you
the money back.

419
00:16:35,233 --> 00:16:38,367
I have heard the testimony
that it's his fault

420
00:16:38,433 --> 00:16:40,767
and he should give you
the money back.

421
00:16:40,834 --> 00:16:43,700
There's no evidence to dispute
that he spent 26 hours

422
00:16:43,767 --> 00:16:45,800
on this 20-year-old truck.

423
00:16:45,867 --> 00:16:49,300
I am not sure
if I'm simply just wasting my time.

424
00:16:49,367 --> 00:16:51,266
He only did $200 worth of work
to the truck.

425
00:16:51,333 --> 00:16:53,767
And you know it was $200
for what reason?

426
00:16:53,834 --> 00:16:55,300
How do you come up with--

427
00:16:55,367 --> 00:16:56,200
[Dena] 'Cause I have
other mechanics who told me.

428
00:16:56,266 --> 00:16:58,834
Ma'am, ma'am, listen, listen.
Will you do me a favor?

429
00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:02,300
It's super-disrespectful
when I'm trying to ask a question

430
00:17:02,367 --> 00:17:04,700
and you can't even let me
get the question out.

431
00:17:04,767 --> 00:17:08,700
And that makes me think that if you
are communicating like this with me

432
00:17:08,767 --> 00:17:11,233
and I'm trying to get information,

433
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:14,233
I wonder what
these communications were like.

434
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:16,233
You threw him some money
and you thought that he was just

435
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,767
gonna make your 20-year-old truck
run like a brand-new vehicle?

436
00:17:19,834 --> 00:17:21,599
No, I didn't think
it'd run like a brand-new vehicle.

437
00:17:21,666 --> 00:17:23,032
That was the deal we made.

438
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:25,133
"Hey, if I give you 600
to pay your truck payment,

439
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,900
can you get my truck
running again for me?"

440
00:17:26,967 --> 00:17:29,500
[Tanya] And it's your testimony
that he said to you,

441
00:17:29,567 --> 00:17:33,500
"For $600, I promise you, I'm gonna
get this truck up and running"?

442
00:17:33,567 --> 00:17:34,533
That's what he said to me.

443
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,066
[Tanya]
He said, "I guarantee it"?

444
00:17:36,133 --> 00:17:37,367
-[Dena] I said--
Ma'am, you're just winging it.

445
00:17:37,433 --> 00:17:40,767
As a friend, I said, "Hey,
if I pay your truck payment for you,

446
00:17:40,834 --> 00:17:43,500
can you get my truck going again for me?
'Cause I need a ride."

447
00:17:43,567 --> 00:17:45,000
He said, "Okay, not a problem."

448
00:17:45,066 --> 00:17:47,467
-'Cause we were friends.
-[Tanya] Okay, and you understand,

449
00:17:47,533 --> 00:17:51,400
notwithstanding, their best efforts
may sometimes fail.

450
00:17:51,467 --> 00:17:54,400
And you understand that
when someone's best efforts fail,

451
00:17:54,467 --> 00:17:57,000
that doesn't necessarily mean
that they owe you money.

452
00:17:57,066 --> 00:17:59,967
It might mean that the truck was too old.

453
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:01,500
That's not the case, though.

454
00:18:01,567 --> 00:18:02,633
How are you gonna prove that?

455
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,633
'Cause the truck had to be
towed away from his place

456
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:07,433
before all this happened.

457
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:11,900
Sir, was there ever a point
when you said this is just not worth it?

458
00:18:11,967 --> 00:18:13,567
I told her that
before the job even started.

459
00:18:13,633 --> 00:18:14,967
So why'd you take the money?

460
00:18:15,033 --> 00:18:17,600
Because I needed my truck payment
and at that particular time,

461
00:18:17,667 --> 00:18:19,934
doing the smog,
I'd get her smog going.

462
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:20,667
I would do the wiring--

463
00:18:20,734 --> 00:18:22,800
[Tanya]
You actually just helped her a little bit.

464
00:18:22,867 --> 00:18:27,433
So what I want to understand is
what you told her when you took her money.

465
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,600
Did you just say,
"I'm gonna get it smogged,"

466
00:18:29,667 --> 00:18:31,734
or did you also say,
"I can get it up and running"?

467
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,266
I said, "I will do the best I can
to get it smogged."

468
00:18:35,333 --> 00:18:37,200
I don't believe you either.

469
00:18:37,266 --> 00:18:39,934
I don't. I just, I don't.
That's not true.

470
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,567
I didn't know that it wasn't running
when it was parked there.

471
00:18:42,633 --> 00:18:44,967
[Tanya] Ms. Vanscoy,
you have the burden.

472
00:18:45,033 --> 00:18:46,934
I'm gonna let you have the last word.

473
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,467
So if you've got something
that you want to close out on

474
00:18:51,533 --> 00:18:53,567
that is going to connect the dots,

475
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:55,633
I'll let you try to get there,

476
00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:59,934
but I am not yet able
to connect all of those dots,

477
00:19:00,066 --> 00:19:01,433
so why don't you do your best.

478
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:03,500
[Dena]
There was nothing about any smog.

479
00:19:03,567 --> 00:19:05,567
I said, "There's a knock.
My truck is knocking.

480
00:19:05,633 --> 00:19:06,633
Can you see what the knocking is?"

481
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:10,633
So he took the intake off
and he took valve covers off

482
00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:12,000
and he took the rocker boxes off.

483
00:19:12,066 --> 00:19:14,533
And then he sent me
some pictures of the engine,

484
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,400
which was cracked, and that's why
it was knocking, he told me.

485
00:19:17,467 --> 00:19:19,834
You have no evidence that he did
anything wrong or that he damaged it.

486
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:22,567
[Dena] Yes, right here. It's the pictures
of the engine right here.

487
00:19:22,633 --> 00:19:24,767
Yeah, the pictures don't cut it.
I don't have anything further.

488
00:19:24,834 --> 00:19:28,166
[Patricia] We're gonna retire
to deliberate. Thank you both.

489
00:19:28,233 --> 00:19:31,100
Court is now in recess.
Parties are excused.

490
00:19:31,166 --> 00:19:32,767
[theme music playing]

491
00:19:32,834 --> 00:19:34,767
Okay, so I wanna show you my notes.

492
00:19:36,266 --> 00:19:37,834
[Patricia] I'm gonna show you my notes.
I want you both to look at 'em.

493
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:41,667
-Dismiss. Dismiss.
-[both laugh]

494
00:19:41,734 --> 00:19:44,200
There wasn't a word that she said
that was comprehensible,

495
00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:45,266
that made any sense.

496
00:19:45,333 --> 00:19:47,500
The fact that I still don't know
what happened to this truck,

497
00:19:47,567 --> 00:19:49,233
or her, or anything else,

498
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:52,033
tells me that
she has not met her burden.

499
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:55,967
It wasn't truthful at all either,
so I'm done. I wanna dismiss.

500
00:19:56,033 --> 00:19:58,400
Yeah, in her complaint,
for whatever it's worth,

501
00:19:58,467 --> 00:20:01,633
she says that she brought
the car to him to do the smog.

502
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:02,533
[Patricia] Mm-hmm.

503
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,633
She just failed to establish
the necessary elements for money.

504
00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:07,800
And I think that the case
also needs to be dismissed.

505
00:20:07,867 --> 00:20:11,266
Couldn't even establish that she bought
the truck or that she owned the truck.

506
00:20:11,333 --> 00:20:15,900
So we don't know anything
about the care or condition of this truck.

507
00:20:15,967 --> 00:20:16,934
Let's just make short work
of this dismissal.

508
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,100
[Patricia] And it was a little fishy.
He had to make a car payment.

509
00:20:19,166 --> 00:20:22,200
So she said, "Here, I'll make
your car payment, you make my car run."

510
00:20:22,266 --> 00:20:25,000
And I don't think that...
I-I have no idea.

511
00:20:25,066 --> 00:20:26,567
I think he did a lot of work for nothing.

512
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,834
All right.

513
00:20:28,900 --> 00:20:31,834
[theme music playing]

514
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:33,600
This court is back in session.

515
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:35,667
Parties are reminded
you're still under oath.

516
00:20:35,734 --> 00:20:38,934
All right, well, this case
was as complicated to us

517
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,600
as I think fixing the truck was.

518
00:20:41,667 --> 00:20:46,233
When we walk away from a case
and we are basically all saying,

519
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:51,333
"I don't know what happened there,"
that tells us, guess what,

520
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,900
that you didn't make your position clear
and you didn't meet your burden of proof.

521
00:20:56,967 --> 00:21:01,367
If you're not making your case
and you don't meet your burden of proof,

522
00:21:01,433 --> 00:21:03,200
then that case has to get dismissed.

523
00:21:03,266 --> 00:21:07,333
Now, even if we were to take you
at your word that you gave him $600

524
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,834
and you still didn't get the car
where you wanted it to be,

525
00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:14,734
you know, I credit his testimony
that he worked probably 26 hours.

526
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,133
I don't know why anybody
would do that on a car that old,

527
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,333
but he apparently did
because he had a deal with you.

528
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,700
So the bottom line is, everybody is saying
something happened here

529
00:21:24,767 --> 00:21:29,166
and we don't know how you can show us
that he didn't earn what you gave him.

530
00:21:29,233 --> 00:21:31,867
That being said,
we're going to dismiss your complaint.

531
00:21:31,934 --> 00:21:35,200
Though I'd love to say
you could drive off into the sunset,

532
00:21:35,266 --> 00:21:36,967
not only won't you have
the money to do that,

533
00:21:37,033 --> 00:21:39,767
but you don't have the truck either,
at this point, that works.

534
00:21:39,834 --> 00:21:45,166
So your case respectfully is dismissed
unanimously by the three of us.

535
00:21:45,233 --> 00:21:49,433
This case is now concluded.
Parties are excused. You may step out.

536
00:21:52,533 --> 00:21:54,967
I never had any idea
that it had a knock in it

537
00:21:55,033 --> 00:21:59,100
until I got the things
that I knew was wrong with it

538
00:21:59,166 --> 00:22:03,834
and went to fire it up
and had a shattered head,

539
00:22:03,900 --> 00:22:06,667
so that's where we stood with it,

540
00:22:06,734 --> 00:22:09,867
and she wanted me to get a stolen vehicle
and all kinds of other things

541
00:22:09,934 --> 00:22:12,133
and replace it
and just wasn't having it.

542
00:22:13,133 --> 00:22:14,533
