Thank you for informing us of what happened to you.

Luckily, not *all* are like the PKF. I passed on your re****t to
"Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County" (for whom I've been volunteering
since 1990 and who also appreciate car donations) to make sure that *we*
will never subject a car donor to your kind of incredible hassles.
One of the most crooked outfits for donated cars in San Francisco was
busted several years ago. You may remember that story.
Thanks again,
