Dustin’s sister, Jessica, sold him her old car for a symbolic amount, and he spent $5,000 restoring it. The car was in terrible shape, but Dustin saw its potential. “I know it doesn’t seem like a great opportunity, but it is,” he told his girlfriend, Gabi.
One day, Jessica burst into Dustin’s house, demanding the car back. “I need to take the car back,” she insisted, despite having sold it. She claimed Tom, her husband, needed it. Dustin was infuriated but kept calm, knowing he had not only bought the car but also spent a lot on improvements.
Later, Gabi reminded Dustin about the GPS and camera he had installed in the car. The footage revealed Jessica driving recklessly and discussing flipping the car for profit. “She was trying to take you along for a ride,” said Dustin’s lawyer.
Jessica, confronted with evidence, signed the documents making the car legally Dustin’s. “Jess needed to learn that she can’t walk all over me,” he said, feeling relieved and vindicated.
