You know I really wonder what he has been telling everyone that he calls.

Probably something like:"Uh Hello Sheriff's Department? I let someone paint my car and now after I paid they won't release my car because they did extra work I didn't ask for and they want four times as much as they originally quoted. They are thief's and they stole my car and now they won't give it back to me and I want them arrested and my car returned!"

Yeah pretty much that is probably how it goes when he calls them.
