Woman took my car... civil issue... trying to get it back

@petethepug Onstar needs an active connection to the car before they can talk to it. That's what they told me. There is no active connection. You need to physically hit the blue button to make an outgoing call first.
@swathdiver She doesn't work... Panhandle, close to Bama state line
@Tonyrodz might need to happen
@Rocket Man I have a tow driver..he's been telling me stories... trying to get it done with him... last thing I want is to not tell them the truth, especially since they are just going to roll up, take their sweet time.. she can then hop in the car with the key and then they can't legally hook up the truck. Now, if it's hooked up before she comes out, then that's a different story, but I don't need the driver to be taking his sweet time and then all hell breaks loose.

For all those thinking it's 100% my property, it is.
For all those thinking I can just roll up in a tow truck and tow it... it's not that simple. If she gets in it before it's hooked up, they have to let it go. If I don't tell the story to them, it will give her plenty of time to come out and sit in it. Then she knows, then she hides the car... all bad for me.
For all those thinking get a tow truck to come and do it... they don't want to get involved, and the only person I've found seems to be messing with me... so it's not looking great. Life lessons 101, woman find ways to fsck you, even after they've gone.

Jim, you need a ruse to get her away from the truck so you can retrieve it. Does she like movies? Get her into a theater for 2 hours and you'll have plenty of time to get that key learned or just hooked up and towed out of there, even to the other side of the mall parking lot. I'm too far away to help man.

something like that, have someone call her and say she won a free take out dinner, gift card or something-on the the other side of town, lol

and gps trackers are cheap off of ebay and amazon, battery powered and all, just stick it under the truck, they make it super easy to catch a cheater now days

I was also thinking of rigging something for the trailer plug to drain the battery. But the movie or dinner would fall under KISS.

is the vehicle at a residence or is it a apt complex or something of that nature?

apartment complex... until she moves

Hrmmm, I have a restraining order against her... she can't come within 100ft of me.

The tow guy relayed something about needing flatbed now... Surely got taken by this guy. We went from meeting and he would be in and out of there in about 1 min, to this crap about him needing a flatbed.
The crazy thing is she showed me a screenshot and it was an imcoming missed call and it was from her phone.. so she called trying to see if they were coming after her vehicle.. made up some lie about our situation etc. This was classically her. This feels like Springer show.

You apparently don't have enforceable visitation rights. Is this a common law marriage or is there some sort of court-approved visitation and property settlement? I don't mean to sound cruel or insensitive, but you may have to just eat it and learn the lesson. Been there, done that.

You're not taking her to the movies, not officially anyway! Send them in the mail or something. Don't involve friends, not good to lie. Consider massage, hair salon, etc. too. Whatever will cause that fish to bite!

Forget that guy. Any tow man with half a brain knows a Denali of that generation might be AWD and if towed more than a hundred yards should be on a flatbed. It is not a big deal to pull it out of a parking space and move it a short distance. I forget, is it RWD or AWD?

***** father... State laws.. everything is with the courts, coronavirus slowed shit down to a crawl... I'm following all court orders, laws etc... and she isn't. If we ever see a judge, supposedly she's in a world of hurt.. due to her multitude of court violations etc. It's crazy what's she's done... I don't put anything past her. I just stayed around to be near my kid.. because I know what would happen the second I wasn't around and I was 100% right.

Lesson #1 learned.. always have a spare key for all cars.
The wheels of justice move slow and these days they are stuck in the mud.
