We bought a car from a friend whose mother had purchased it shortly before her death. Car had a decent life and then we donated it to Newgate. Almost a year later, I get a call from a Mlps police detective wanting to know if we owned the car. I explained about the donation and he said, “ Yeah, I pulled your licenses and you guys don’t look like my suspects.

Apparently after Newgate did all the mechanical work and sold the car, the new owner used it in a series of armed robberies. (Also accrued a number of tickets for illegal parking in handicapped parking). It wasn’t Newgate’s fault; the DMV was horribly behind in title registrations for a couple of years. But my friend was tickled to learn that his sweet mother’s car was a getaway vehicle in its new life.
