I took my vehicle into Clear Lake Auto World to sell my vehicle and paid a consignment fee of $200 to sell my vehicle. On December 21st someone walked into Clear Lake Auto World looking for a vehicle. The owner of Clear Lake Auto World gave this person keys to my vehicle without getting any information or getting a copy of the persons driver's licenses. After Galen Medlenka (owner of C.L.A. W) gave the my keys to someone he didnt know he starting taking phone calls for about 10 15 minutes with no regards to security of my vehicle that he was supposed to sell. After he went out 10 15 minutes later he notices my vehicle was stolen. My vehicle was found but it has cost me over $580 to get my vehicle back and in running condition not including the damage that was done to it. I fell that due to Galen Medlenka negligence he should reimburse me for the tow and impound fee, tow bill to dealership and cost to have key made and programmed. Galen Medlenka feels that hes not responsible for any cost even though he is the one that gave the person the keys and didnt follow any of their normal procedures.
