Women Jailed After Failing To Return From Atmore Test Drive
March 10, 2010
Two women were arrested by Atmore Police Tuesday night for failing to return a car they took for a test drive on February 19.
Amanda Andrews (pictured), 19, and Tyesha Dillard, 19, both of Mobile, were charged with theft of property first degree. Atmore Police say the two took a 2003 Black Acura TL worth $8,500 for a test drive from Brother’s Auto Sales on North Main Street. They were last seen buying gas at a convenience store on Jack Springs Road a short time later. The vehicle was recovered Tuesday night in Saraland, Alabama.
One of the females made contact with the dealership. Then the car dealer convinced the women to return to Atmore to complete paperwork Tuesday evening. Once in Atmore, they were placed under arrrest. Glen Carlee, Atmore’s director of public safety, said the vehicle was damaged during the time it was missing, possibly involved in an accident.

This makes a MAMA real proud dont it ??
What a story.
“you mean I have to give it back? ? ?”
How did they get from Mobile to Atmore? An answer to that question would probably explain a lot. Were they stranded? Did they leave a vehicle at the dealer?
Look at that smiling fool! We all laughing at YOU now, sista!
This is crazy! Why would the dealership let two 19 out of town girls take a car for a test drive? Duh.
The car dealer should have known something think about this all the way from Mobile to test drive a car at a USE CAR LOT! You do the MATH!
That is about the stupidest thing I have ever seen anyone do. What a bunch of idiots!!!
Sounds like they just needed a car for a while and went about it the wrong way. It’s going to cost them more that the car was worth.
…lol, what in the world! I guess they thought that they could just go pick out a car at a car lot and keep going, without signing any paperwork, paying anything etc… I’m sorry but I had to laugh about this one… This is exactly why most dealerships will ride in the car with you for the test drive, guess this dealer forgot too…LOL
looks like we have some smart folks here!
