Sears is holding my Lawnmower hostage! I previous...

Sears is holding my Lawnmower hostage! I previously purchased several items from Sears over this year and had to have repairs done on some of those items. I recently purchased my lawnmower almost 3 months ago and had to have it serviced. When they call me to inform me of the problem, I declined their services to repair it because on a fair new mower, they wanted to charge me $99. They said they would send it back to the store so I can pick it up. I went to pick it up and I was greeted by a Ms. Jason, who stated she was the manager and she informed me that I would have to pay $50 in order to get my lawn mower back. Out of all the blubber I have heard, this takes the cake! I was very surprised to see that they were refusing to give back my lawn mower unless I pay them for taking it to see what was wrong. It was not repaired and they still want me to pay to get it back. I am in the process of contacting the head manager of Sears to see if he or she can help me get my lawn mower back. I paid $279 for the thing and am not going to pay $50 to get it back. If Sears keeps my mower, they are stealing from their customers. I had no Idea that I would have to pay $50 to get my mower back. This is outrageous!!!!!! Sears should really be ashamed of itself for holding my mower hostage! They are acting like "Long Sharks"!
