Pope Car Fight Moves to Indiana

Last week, the car once owned by Pope John Paul II showed up in an Auburn, IN museum after having been removed from a shuttered restaurant near Aurora, IL in violation of a court order.

The owner of the Auburn museum intends to sell the car in Las Vegas next weekend on behalf of the supposed owner, Jim Rich, but the court is involved because it is not clear if Rich actually owns the car.

The Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette reported today that the Kane County (IL) court has issued an order for the return of the car, which the museum has no intention of doing.
