'[They] saw dollar signs': Customer calls police after mechanic refuses to return their car

How could a quick mechanic visit go so wrong? This dude was left stunned after a shop took their car, and then didn't want to give it back. 

As a car owner, you get to know your vehicle pretty well. The more time you spend driving to the grocery store or to your friend's house, the more you'll notice its noises and smells. If your car makes lots of whining sounds or starts leaking fumes into the interior, it might be time to get that looked at. Although some people drive around with car issues, check engine light or not, until the car can't move another inch. Others, like this person try to be proactive about their vehicle's problems. This one seems especially important: u/TrueHalfCrack writes that their trusty 2005 Santa Fe was squeaking when they started braking. Of all the issues to get checked out with haste, a steering or brake issue is at the top of that list. 

Mechanics realize that many car owners arrive at their shop with zero knowledge of why their car's having so many issues. Some mechanics are on the level, but others just want to make a quick buck. This guy got such incredible revenge on this mechanic that he'll probably never try those tactics again! 

Next up, this person left the internet stunned by charging a $200 "meal fee" for every wedding guest… including family members.
