When megan dropped her beloved little car at the mechanic she thought it was in safe hands little did she know her service involved fanging around the streets and a macca’s drive-through luckily for megan it was all caught on her dash cam it’s a disrespect to the vehicle and
Myself you know it’s not yours to just play around and have fun with you know you’ve got no reason to even be doing that on a test drive is this what you do to all your clients cars like you just take them as your own and there’s even a point where you say
To your child oh it’s not out so just be careful so you know what you’re doing is wrong no this is a story about love and betrayal but for 21 year old megan bolton this isn’t an issue with a boy it’s about her car the ford focus rs
Limited edition is her pride and joy so she claims when she discovered her mechanic had taken it for multiple joy rides she was heartbroken i was i was crying for days i was crying for days like that is my pride and joy and he just absolutely mistreated it
Megan bolton loves cars but none more so than her own i worked really hard for it i it’s i’ve always wanted a car like this before and when it came up it was the first thing i wanted i do everything for it i barely drive it i garage it i
Look after it i spend all my spam money on it the 21 year old even took out a loan to afford the limited edition ride so when something went wrong she didn’t hesitate to take it to her local mechanics it was dropped there um to have a temperature sensor fixed
Um he was told that the part wasn’t going to be coming in for quite some days i went there on the friday after it being dropped there on the monday and was told the part wasn’t still in and it’ll be in on the following monday so i
Asked him if it was okay for me to leave it there over the weekend he said that that was fine but i shouldn’t be taking it home because it was gonna break down again it kept overheating so when she picked it up the following monday and checked the dash
Cam history she was horrified he took it home um he left it parked in his driveway overnight which is something i don’t even do um he took it through a mcdonald’s drive-through with his kid in the car um he went to a 7-eleven but that’s not all in a 60 zone the dash
Cam had a traveling at 71 kilometers per hour then on a separate occasion it gets up to 93 kilometers per hour on a back street that’s speeding and you know he had his kid in the car at one point and it’s just not okay in anyone’s car in your own car it’s
Just not okay but when we approached mechanic ross y hanging out of a red ferrari at euro prestige prestige performance there was apparently an explanation for everything because obviously she left it in your care and we’ve got dash cam footage of you driving it around all weekend taking
Your son to mcdonald’s my daughter but yeah but why were you taking it like in using your spare time you parked it at home not in a garage because it was explained that if we drove it during the day it she had to pay the hours for the car
To be driven whereas if i drove it home and then drove it back to work the next day she didn’t have to pay the only phone call i had from him was stating that the part was going to be late i was never once told he needed it for an
Extended test drive or he needed it to take it home for the weekend she says you told her nothing about taking her car for a spin she had no idea that was happening okay do you want to see the footage i’ve got it right here this is you taking off
So that’s a 60 zone that’s just clocked 71ks there okay let’s go buy an uncalibrated gps that’s not oh there’s you going through mcdonald’s correct like i just said yeah i was on my way to work but mate this isn’t your like it’s not your car
But like i said we’ve got to prove it a driver drive that’s almost double the speed limit is that even me driving i don’t know you tell me i don’t believe it i don’t know i’m not the only person here there’s five of us so you’re all taking it for a
Spin no so you’re not just taking it for a joyride because it’s a cool car definitely not have you seen the cars that we work on here well it could be classified as a joyride because it’s a pretty cool car and that points you were speeding focus
Can you see what i’m currently working on okay i’ll work on ferraris horses lamborghinis i thought i trusted him i really did and i felt absolutely betrayed you know to leave my car in the trust of someone and a company and for him to go and make it his own and drive
It the way he did like i said i didn’t even drive it like that at the end of the day this is a story of he said she said but one thing’s for sure the dash cam doesn’t lie would you like to apologize for what what’s transpired i mean she’s obviously
She’s been a misunderstanding like i said to you we take pride in wanting to do the right thing here you
