Bronx resident Youssouf Keita says he’s been without his 2018 Honda Accord since Jan 5.<\/p>\n
That’s when the NYPD towed his car for expired registration.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I\u2019m being bullied by the system, granted my paperwork wasn\u2019t right but I got it right the next day,” said Keita.<\/p>\n
According to 311, his car was in Brooklyn at Clutch Towing. He says he traveled over an hour to get it, and was told it would be $630.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m like $630 is crazy but alright give me a receipt so I can know what\u2019s going on,” said Keita.<\/p>\n
He says he never got an itemized receipt, instead the worker offered him a deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe tells us he\u2019s willing to give us the car for $430 but with no receipt,” said Keita.<\/p>\n
Keita and his wife declined the deal, and they came back the next day.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe came back the next day; he tells us look I don\u2019t want to do business with you guys. I\u2019m going to return your car to the NYPD once I get the release papers,” said Keita.<\/p>\n
But Keita says that never happened. When he reaches out to the NYPD they say they don’t have it.<\/p>\n
News 12 spoke with Clutch Towing over the phone, and they said they gave the car back to NYPD and it’s at their Springfield lot.<\/p>\n
News 12 contacted the NYPD to confirm but has not heard back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bronx resident Youssouf Keita says he’s been without his 2018 Honda Accord since Jan 5.
