How long ago did you get/clear the cheque?

I can't find the thread now but there is a horror story of a cheque being reversed after clearing someone's account.

While unlikely, I'd probably keep the car for a while - someone else may well know if the cheque can be reversed.

Then take it, and all the keys, to the garage and hand them over. Get someone to film you doing it and with some proof of the date (newspaper).

Wheres the conflicting advice? As far as I can see, everyone has advised of the same thing - the car isn't the OPs. If they didn't agree to return rejected goods then they are an involuntary bailee and as such have a duty to take reasonable care of the goods and make them available for collection. The owner has up to 6 years to make a claim based in tort (or based on simple contract).

The OP can relieve themselves of the duty of care early by sending two written notices to the owner providing certain details (their name, address etc) and the notices can be sent at the same time - unless monies are owed in relation to the goods in which case they need to allow 3 months between the notices.

If these notices have been sent and the owner still doesn't collect then OP can sell or dispose of the goods. However if they sell them, it needs to be fair market value (no mates rates) and any monies from the sale after reasonable & necessary expenses would belong to the owner.
