It's not the little girl's fault she's not his daughter, so why should she be made to basically regret all the good times she's had with the man she regarded as her father?

If you steal a car for a poor woman without transportation so she can get a job, the woman is helped and all society is helped by turning her into the work force. If the car is siezed and returned to its owner, the woman and all society is therfore harmed.

It's not the woman's fault the car was stolen!

Wow, that is some very profound screwed up logic.

Huh? If you steal a car, you are a thief! What about the person who owns the car? Somebody worked to buy it. Your analogy doesn't fit the situation or if it does, please explain it to us.

Now that's a bit of twisted logic. You seem to be advocating that personal private property is actually community property and should be put to use as such. In other words, the fruit of the car-owner's labor belongs to this lady according to her need. Is that you, Karl?

I contend that the lady should get a job closer to home. And, the car thief ought to be lucky he wasn't shot trying to swipe the car.
