Or tell the bank the location znd let them repo it, then pay the fees, payments owed, then get it back from the repo man. Done deal.

Don’t tell the tow drivers the truth if that’s what it takes to get them to do it. Tell them it won’t start, and be there when they pick it up. It’s her that would be breaching the peace, not you. She probably won’t even know it’s being towed.

Hello Onstar, I’d like to get my trial membership started.... 7 days later

Hello Onstar, I’m locked out. Oh no, truck won’t start. Looks like I need a tow.

If that can be pulled off the issue of whether the key had been re-flashed to the BCM could begin.

Once the vehicle is squared away, the VCIM could be replaced w/ a >2011 unit, activated to employ all the cell phone location, unlock & remote start features.

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.

Jim, roughly where in Florida do you live? Does the driver work? If the battery died, would driver get a ride to work and leave the truck behind? Pull the plates yet?

@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.

If it's your truck, and you want to retrieve it, and she gets in the way when the tow truck is there, then call the Sheriff. She is not allowed to keep you from getting your possession.

If the truck is on someone else's property ( driveway), then you must contact the property owner to inform them you are taking it. Then she has no rights.

@mountie I've already contacted the local sheriff's office and it's 50/50 chance if they get called out if they will make the tow truck guy leave or if they will let him take it. They are calling this a civil issue and they want you to get a Writ of Replevin to legally get the sheriff's office to take the vehicle back.

I'm telling you, this is a shit show... I don't have a problem doing that, but once that happens...and if they don't let him take the car, then she's hiding the car.

I did call the loan company.. It would be a voluntary repo and go on my record financially... so that's not a good route.

Looks like a Writ of Replevin is my best route at this point.
