>> Judge Judy: Tell me about
these other two cars that you
allege she's holding hostage in
some way.
>> She was driving my pickup
truck, and --
>> Judge Judy: Give me a year.
>> In 2014 -- or 2015, excuse
me, she was driving -- she
bought a pickup truck because
her car was on its last legs.
And after driving it for a few
weeks, she determined that she
couldn't lock anything up in it
because of her business and her
shows that she would go to, so
she needed a car that she could
lock up.
>> Judge Judy: And?
>> At that time is when she told
me she needed to borrow some
money to purchase a car that she
could lock up.
She found a car online and asked
me to go down and pick it up.
>> Judge Judy: So you did.
>> Went down, it was not there.
It had already been sold.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, and then?
>> There was a PT Cruiser
sitting there with low mileage,
and she said it sounded good to
her, so --
>> Judge Judy: What did you do,
call her?
>> Yes, I did.
>> Judge Judy: And said?
>> The other vehicle that she'd
wanted me to pick up had already
been sold, and that I'm sitting
here looking at a PT Cruiser
with 69,000 miles on it, 2004.
She's, "Well, drive it and see
if you think it's worth it."
I said okay, so I drove it,
seemed great.
>> Judge Judy: Great, so what
did you do?
>> I purchased it.
>> Judge Judy: In whose name?
>> Mine.
>> Judge Judy: And where was she
when you were purchasing this?
>> She was up in Apple Valley
working.
>> Judge Judy: In what vehicle?
>> My brown pickup.
A '93 F150.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, and that
was in 2015.
Do you remember what month in
2015?
>> February.
>> Judge Judy: So the beginning
of the year.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Is the car still
in your name?
>> Yes, it is.
As far as I know.
>> Judge Judy: Is the car in his
name?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: How did that
happen?
>> He purchased the car.
He called me and asked me, "Hey,
I found this PT Cruiser.
Look it up.
It's at this..."
So I looked it up.
I actually printed it off.
And I said I have no money, and
I -- literally, I have no money,
so there's no way I can pay for
it.
He says, "Well, you do a lot for
me.
You've helped me out so much.
I'll help you out."
So that was February 20th.
I was in Piñon Hills, Phelan,
working out of my office at my
mother's house when he had
called me.
And I had clients all afternoon,
so I was not in Apple Valley.
So he brought it up, and as soon
as I was done with my last
client, we sat down, he signed
me over a bill of sale, and I
said, "Do you want to put
yourself as a lien holder if
something happens to me?"
He said, "No, it's your car."
And I said okay.
>> Judge Judy: How much was it?
>> $4,500 and change.
>> Judge Judy: Can I see the
bill of sale?
Well, Mr. Strickland, this
certainly looks like your
signature, sir, on
February 20th.
You want to take a look at this?
I've compared it with the
signature on the affidavit that
you signed.
>> Registered owner.
I'm supposed to be the legal
owner.
>> Judge Judy: It's a bill of
sale that you sold it to her.
>> A year later, it's still in
my name, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Did you ever
register it in his name?
>> I did.
When the dealership finished the
paperwork, they put it as
Walter Strickland and
Angela Strickland.
They messed up my last name, and
then after the battle started in
February, or the attitude
started in February, I just went
ahead in March and went got it
registered right.
>> Judge Judy: So you got it
registered right?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Perfect, that's
what you're supposed to do.
You can return that to him.
>> Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Yeah.
>> The vehicle was purchased in
my name only.
She picked up the phone while I
was on the way home and called
the people and told them to put
her name on it, and they did.
They put Angela on it,
Strickland.
>> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
I'm not dealing with it!
The car's in her name.
She's got a new title, and it's
registered to her.
I believe her.
I don't believe you.
Now we're gonna go on to the
next car.
You understand?
>> Sure.
>> Judge Judy: Good.
