Oh, yes they found the thief driving the car, but after they booked the thief, they turned him lose and gave my car to the tow company where I had to pay $250 to get it back.
The cops here get a commission on impounds from the towing companies.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY GOOD STORIES TO TELL ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....sorry.....had to get that out!
O.K. better now.....Where did the police officers find your vehicle? Was it far from your residence or place of work? Was it damaged?
I used to work behind the scenes and I can tell you that police officers just don't turn a car thief loose....after he was arrested, he must have been brought before a judge for arraignment. It was the judge who had the authority to turn him loose....not the cops. It's a felony here in my community for those who steal cars and that's pretty serious.
