Michael Thompson tried on several occasions to prove that he was the legitimate owner of a 2006 Toyota Allion motor car that was involved in an accident in 2016 and was in the custody of the Constant Spring police.
His attorney, Lamar Neale, wrote to the police commissioner, the Constant Spring police, and the attorney general, stating ownership and asking that the car be immediately released.
“I told them I am not lost, so my car should not be auctioned,” Thompson recalled in a Sunday Gleaner interview.
When he queried the whereabouts of the vehicle, Thompson said the cops were more focused on expressing their displeasure about the letter written by his lawyer than on assisting him to prove ownership.
Up to press time, the police had not responded to Sunday Gleaner queries on the process between a car coming into its custody and it being auctioned.
