Jamie Rodgers says he was terrified when cops pulled him over. The armed cops believed Rodgers stole the Kia SUV. The car he was driving was reported stolen by a California Kia dealership. However, the car was not stolen. It was a loaner vehicle that Rodgers and his wife say the dealer gave them to use while their car was having extensive repairs. Now, the couple is suing the dealership, which denies their allegations. Inside Edition’s Jim Moret has more.

  • How can the dealership deny the allegation when they're the one that reported it stolen?
  • @jamesthereaper7
    This should never have happened, I hope he wins the lawsuit.
  • @ShionWinkler
    We reported the car stolen, and we also deny we reported it stolen. What jokers
  • @ImJamieX
    the dealership even called the wife and told her they just reported the car stolen... if they had indeed Lost the agreement then how did they know the phone number?
  • @ORO323
    It was not a “mistake”. It was negligence. How do you loan out a car, forget the paperwork, and then call it in as stolen?

    "Fallen behind a cabinet" is the business version of "my dog ate my homework"
  • There is a huge difference between saying that a car was stolen versus armed and dangerous!
  • @LetsDIYIt
    Police should charge management at that dealership as well. They were put in a bad position as well. Hope this guy wins his case, utterly ridiculous.
  • @JunoSuede
    So they don’t have CCTV camera to see that the man visit the office , sign a document and was HANDED the key or vehicle??? Wtf is wrong with these people?!?!
  • @pl4y3dout23
    How exactly did the police think he was armed and dangerous unless the idiots who reported it stolen also reported being robbed for the vehicle at gunpoint
  • He should absolutely sue the dealership for misleading information. Get millions
  • @mightylara2372
    The dealership lost the loaner agreement within minutes of it being filled out? The employee couldn't say, "oh yeah, that car was loaned out, but I've misplaced the contract." Then called the police as if you never loaned the car out. Called the wife, not the husband who was in said car to admit the mistake. Not only sue, but someone needs to lose their job for causing all of that chaos.

    How can a dealership make such a mistake when they gave him the car?
  • @kaley1008
    The question I have who reported that he was armed
  • @lizlee6290
    Saying "allegations" is mind blowing! I'm surprised they didn't say "alleged!" The dealership was basically caught red-handed.
  • @EricLing64
    Lose the paperwork so they can't even be bothered to check their own security footage if someone took the car off their lot suspiciously, just immediately call police and say it was stolen by an armed person?
  • @carceeno
    The dealership almost got him killed. If he doesn't force them to pay millions, they'll do it again.
  • @FracturedScar
    This would be traumatic as all get out 😡. Who ever reported this dealership car as stolen should be fired (if they were an employee) and charged with something I don’t know. Very unsettling 😥
  • My guess is the dude at the dealership didn't like him and decided to SWAT him, then try to cover it up
