Two years ago I left my husband. It wasn't a dramatic ordeal, I simply sat him down at the kitchen table, told him how I felt and why I felt this way, and left.
I had already packed a suitcase and loaded it into my car the night before.
I put the car in gear, and started driving. My brain was full of thoughts like, "I'm such a horrible person." and "I'm so selfish". I tend to be very self effacing. I pulled my wedding ring off and held it between my thumb and forefinger, watching the glint of the diamond in the sun.
"I can't believe I ever got married." I thought, as I put the ring in the consol.

Last week I was doing laundry, and realized I needed more quarters. I keep the quarters in the car.
I walked outside-
No car.
What? Where's my car? I walked a little further out into the lot, had I parked it somewhere weird? No.
Someone stole my car.
Or.. no it got repoed.
My ex was the one making the payments- it was part of our "deal".
I spent the next week trying to find the repo-guy, so I could get my things out of my car. Finally I got in contact with them, and they were kind enough to drive up from Toledo and leave the stuff with my apartments rental office.
Sweet!

Well, they forgot one thing- my wedding ring. I called them and asked about it. They said they would double-check.
They called back and left this message:
"We found two nickles and a penny under the front seat. We found varrious food particles under the floor mats. We also found a joint in the back seat. There is no ring. If you contact a lawyer, we will contact the police. Lets just let this go, for both of our benifits. I have pictures of the drugs."
WHAT?!
No fucking way.
#1. I'm the only one (besides my dog) that is ever in my car.
#2. I have never possessed drugs.

I already called VW, and they said, "We will have no part in you slinging mud against them... it's their word against yours."
And of course I'll get a lawyer... all this didn't happen until late Friday, so I'll have to wait until Monday to call someone.

Maybe you should call the company you got the loan through (or your husband should), and tell them the tale of this extortion. That repo company would never work for them, or anyone else, again if you could prove they said that.

They have pictures of the drugs, so they smoked it already.

Obviously the repo men took your ring and left you a joint. I'd call that a fair swop :o)
