Dealership After Employee Took Her C300 AMG on Unauthorized Date Night Joyride While It Was in for Repairs
Kimberly Porter dropped off her Mercedes-Benz C300 AMG at a dealership in December for servicing. On January 16, she got GPS alerts saying her car was moving. She drove a loaner vehicle to the location and found her car in a parking lot. She waited and watched. When the dealership employee returned, she called police. The man, later identified as Derrick Nguyen, told police he'd been out on a date.
Nguyen was arrested and charged with theft of property.Porter alleges that after his arrest, dealership representatives pressured her to drop the charges and threatened to report the loaner as stolen.
Porter is now suing both Nguyen and the dealership.
