October 8th 2016 I was in the process of moving from Dallas to Denver. I was towing a medium sized trailer with my f150 and i broke down outside of Lamar Colorado. I called a tow truck and was towed back to town to a tow yard owned by the owner of the tow truck company. I paid the tow truck driver at the time of service so nothing was owed on that. I spoke to the wife of the owner and she said that there would be no charge and come pick it up when I could. That evening the owner called me and was acting kind of shady. He asked about the truck and what I thought was wrong with it and if I was going to come back for it. I told him I thought the motor was seized but that i definitely was coming back to get it. At this time still no mention of money.
So right at a month I called the guy. I told him I was coming to get the truck and he started throwing g a fit. Said he had just started the process of filing for an abandoned vehicle and he would have to work out what I owe him. I told him that I was told no charge and he agreed, then he said it had been too long and now he had to charge me. I do not have any extra money to give him. Can he hold the truck hostage until I pay him? What legal recourse do I have? Should I contact the local police? Its 300 miles one way so the trip I make down there has to be the only trip. Any advise would be appreciated..
