I always figure if I had to use dash cam footage something I am doing or listening to would be embarrassing as hell in the background.

Saved you from what from these idiots?
one guy rear ended me and said I cut him-off, video proved that was a lie
another guy ran a red light and we collided in the middle of the intersection, insurance initially called it 50/50 but video proved otherwise and I got my deductible refunded and the accident was 100% the other party per my insurance.

Gents and ladies....

So someone took my 2012 Yukon Denali. There is only 1 key and fob. I just had a replacement key made, but the dealer said it's not tied to the car so it won't start.

I have to go and pick it up, because the other person stopped paying me to use the car, stopped carrying insurance and apparently they don't have a valid DL.

I have since purchased insurance to cover me or else my DL was going to be suspended.
The car is in my name only (registration).... loan is in my name only and title is with the lien-holder (bank).

This is a 2WD model I believe according to the VIN. It does not say AWD.

Anyone have any options? Repo companies don't want to get involved. Tow Truck companies are saying, thanks but no thanks. The courts are not doing anything right now due to coronavirus.

Does anyone know if the key does have to be programmed by a locksmith or dealer to turn the car over?
Will the alarm go off if I put in a key and unlock it? If so, quicker to pop the hood and 10mm disconnect on the battery or pulling a fuse faster?

Any other suggestions? I've been paying for months on the car, now paying for insurance and I don't need this additional liability to carry on.

It's legal for me to go and get the car, I just can't "break the peace"..i.e. disturb it to get my property back. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,
Jim
I only read the first page. It's yours so go get it. I do rent to own and have it to where if there insurance drops then the contract is in default and i report the vehicle stolen. Most of the time i would have gps installed and i just take my vehicle. When you retrieve the vehicle and they still have the keys , dont give their belongings until they produce the keys and fob to you. Also storage fees are added each day for their things. Always protect your investment. Because a person will claim to have three jobs when they get the vehicle and a month later now they have no job to pay you lol. Be vigilant and mean about collecting.

Had a long discussion with LEO in person. I might see some action for violations come early next week. I will know more possibly Monday or Tuesday. Supposedly there is a very high success rate of warrants getting signed by the judge. I'm not holding my breath... Too many times she's gotten away with things and skirted the law.
