>>the insurance company got stuck with a $1,700 bill for the 30-year-old car she destroyed.
The real victims of this crime. If the owner agreed to compensation for the loss of the vehicle, there should have been no insurance claim.
This whole situation is obscene, but I wouldn’t worry about the insurance company; they never lose any money. They just pass it on to their customers.
True! If he in effect "declines to press charges" after the verdict, it's out of his hands. If the whole thing was not really a biggie, then he can decline the insurance settlement--can't he?
Insurance company:
"What's that, bro? You still want the insurance payout? Dude! So sorry. Now we have no reason to think you didn't collude with the thief to pick up some cash. Can you prove you didn't?
"Get back to us any time. We're in no hurry."
Actually, the REAL victims of this crime will be the person or people this low IQ thieving ‘underserved person’ will kill next time she is out driving drunk in a stolen car.
Also... Multnomah county stopped publishing mugshots because it showed that so many violent crimes were committed by the tiny minority of melanated Portlanders and it was easy to identify the antifa goons the DA let off without charges.
