Heading: Appellant Nadine Garrick & Appellee Perry's Towing.

Text: On April 11, 2001, Nadine Garrick reported the theft of her vehicle (which was titled in her father's name) to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Though she periodically checked with MPD, she did not receive any information about her vehicle. On May 16, 2001, she filed an insurance claim for the theft with State Farm. On May 31, 2001, State Farm paid her $5,248.38. On June 5, 2001, State Farm wrote to the Georgia Department of Motor Vehicles, seeking to change the title of the stolen vehicle to reflect its ownership of the car. On August 22, 2001, MPD recovered Garrick's/State Farm's vehicle and requested that appellee Perry's Towing (Perry's) impound the vehicle. The car remained at Perry's until Perry's sent a certified letter to Ms. Garrick's father, informing him of the vehicle's location. Ms. Garrick informed State Farm, and State Farm paid Perry's for the towing and storage fees. Ms. Garrick then re-purchased her vehicle from State Farm at a public auction on February 22, 2002, for $3,933.00.
