Rear main seal replacement

In February 2013 the owner of this business left my Jeep in an unsecured lot a few doors down from his shop where the doors and windows were stolen. He claimed not to have noticed that it had doors. He then posted a sign in his pig pen of an office saying he wasn't responsible for items lost or stolen. I had to take him to small claims court and the judge sided with him. I'm fairly sure it's because he's a former employee of the sheriff's department. Small town politics...what are we going do? Don't take your car here, but if you do, protect yourself beforehand with evidence you may need later.
