A North Idaho family detained by police at gunpoint after their loaner car from a Spokane BMW dealership was mistakenly reported stolen is suing Lithia Motors and Camp Automotive. Casey and Sheree Bryntesen describe a harrowing experience they say left them and their two children traumatized, and they are seeking more than $2.2 million plus punitive damages.

Their 11-year-old son, 9-year-old daughter and family dog were in the back of the BMW sedan, the replacement car Camp had provided while their car was in the shop for repairs, the suit states/Scott Maben, SR.
