Hahaha, now I am in a pickle. Local station was running ads, donate your junker to us. So I got on the online site and filled out the paper work. It was some company in Rhode Island. They required me to sign over my titles and send them to RI. I was like, hmm, but I did it and I copied the documents beforehand.
The two vehicles had sat on my farm a long time, and on the forms I truthfully told them one is on blocks and the other has four flat tires.
OK, so one was sold and the company said it would be picked up. But then I got a call from the firm marketing them. They said no, we can't take your vehicles if they do not have aired-up tires. We will send you back your titles.
Here I am a week later, getting ready to see if the scrapper will pick them up (all it takes is a rollback or a dolly). But no titles yet. Even if I get the titles back, I will have to pay to have them put back in my name.
Crossing my fingers that if I tell the scrapper I lost the titles, they will still take them. They never asked for title the last time I took a vehicle there.
I would not try donating to NPR/public radio again, unless the vehicle meets certain standards - which of course, they never tell you upfront.
I wrote to the local station and told them all this. Suggested they may want to say the vehicles have to be on aired up tires and what the minimum standards are. They did not even have the courtesy to reply. Guess I learned my lesson.
No good deed goes unpunished!
