After sitting in a lot for 6 years, I wouldn’t want the car either.
I wonder what condition it was in, and how many extra miles it had on it.
Now the bluebook value is 20% of what it was when it was stolen.
Democrats create laws that keep undermining respect for the law.
That is why so many of these perps resist police arrests....Democrats have created so many nuisance laws in our big cities that minorities are harassed regularly by the police.....the police who report to the Democrat city council and mayor.
The war on drugs is a failure, but the rules remain in place. The same for the war on poverty, the war on terrorism, etc.
The same will be true of the war on climate change..their “cure” will fail, but the laws will remain in place.
I worked for a city that had impounded a car after a drug deal gone bad. The owner was killed trying to sell sheetrock dust/powder as cocaine. The car also had $20,000 in cash in the door panel.
The city was forced to payback the money and return the car to the dead guys estate after about 2 years.
You were victimized by criminals.
The war on drugs is a failure, but the rules remain in place. The same for the war on poverty, the war on terrorism, etc.
Virtually every Democrat phrase that includes the the word “war” is a failure, which always bring the phrase Rule of Unintended Consequences.
Democrat real wars have been failures also...Vietnam, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.
“AND there is zero redress for the lose of use OR value over time.”
Yep... And the worst part is they would be just absolutely fine with it only bringing $200 at the police auction because it cost them zero.
Civil forfeiture laws are simply WRONG. There is NO GOOD REASON any governmentatl organization should be able to simply take property, often on flimsy evidence, and then KEEP THE MONEY from a subswquent fraudulent sale.
It is WRONG.
Sorry, but Iraq is a Win. Get your head out of the MSM’s butt. We still have bases there and thousands of troops -at the request of the Iraqi government I’ll add. Maybe WWII is a loss too?
Well, it won’t run, cost thousands to repair. And she’ll probably be charged storage fees too.
I’m guessing that abuses and corruption like this won’t be addressed in any fashion by Biden’s new 5 point anti-corruption campaign announced on Dec. 6th.
After six years, I would guess some police boss was about ready to pick up a new set of wheels from the impound lot.
YouTube is rife with asset forfeiture cases that are dirty.
I watched one just the other day where a retired military male who didn’t trust banks was carrying a large sum of cash in the car to visit his kids. Going from Texas to California. I believe it was around $40k. Admittedly not smart, but nothing illegal about it.
He was dumb enough to be cooperative and answer all questions asked of him. Then, he gave permission to search his car. He had done nothing wrong, after all.
Cop’s supervisor shows up. Demands a drug dog sniffs the cash. The dog hits in the cash. Boom. It’s drug money and seized. No charges, no arrest of the “drug dealer”
Took a lawsuit to get his money back.
Several lessons learned. Be polite, but don’t answer questions. Don’t carry life savings in the car with you. Don’t give permission to search your vehicle.
Also, the lawsuit quoted a study that over 60% of all cash bills have traces of drugs on them.
So, odds are, you’re carrying drug money.
Good question about the mileage.
Since is wasn’t stated, guessing her son was convicted. Did she continue to pay the insurance and make payments?
