Well obviously the owner can recover its full value from the thief and there is no way that the thief would be judgment proof and that the whole thing will drag on for years.
Also, in the US, it is incredibly unlikely someone needs their car to go to work anyway, and they have great workers’ rights and the owner can’t be just fired on the spot “for cause” for this.
The police burned down my house and shot all my pets but I’m just glad they arrested the thief even if he was let back out before I was even able to wipe up the blood.
An armed shoplifting suspect in Colorado barricaded himself in a stranger’s suburban Denver home in June 2015. In an attempt to force the suspect out, law enforcement blew up walls with explosives, fired tear gas and drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property’s doors.
courts have long held that police cannot be on the hook for property damage caused in the process of trying to make an arrest.
The suspect in the case, who was wanted in connection with shoplifting, was taken into custody after a 19-hour standoff. More than 100 officers from agencies around the Denver area responded to the incident.
Authorities say the suspect stole two belts and a shirt from a Walmart. After he left the store, police say, he broke into Lech’s house for protection and was firing at officers with a handgun. Eventually, SWAT officers entered the home and apprehended him.
City officials paid Lech’s family $5,000 in compensation
This is an amazing story, I’m sure it’s not the only one, but an impressive nevertheless
Thanks for recovering my stolen car…

I’d feel a lot better knowing the thief got caught though, rather than finding it burnt out on the side of the road.

Wow, just wow
