Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

My finace has parked her car on a distant family members property with thier permission. At the time she was residing on the property. After she moved out there was a verbal agrement that it was ok for her to keep her car there. The car was there for several months and nothing became of it until there was a personal dissagrement. My fiance asked if her car was still ok to be parked there and the property owner said it was fine. The following day she sent a text message to her saing the following "Since you have refused to provide an address. And ignored my many requests to remove your vehicle from my residence since April 2 2012 you now owe storage fees of $6800.00 plus $40.00 a day from this day forward. I have repeatedly asked you to remove the car and you have ignored my calls and messages." This is compleatly fabricated. The car has not even been there since april and we have a parking ticket to prove it was not. Also phone records showing no contact was made in request to remove the car. We went there with a sherrif to get the car and the property owners refused to open the gate. They said there is nothing they can do and that it is a civil matter now. What can we do?

You have to sue for return of the car. It will likely be an expensive and cumbersome venture. Make sure the car is worth the effort. Seek legal help. Storage fees may be owed even without a specific agreement.
