So my brother's friend just stole my car...

He says he lent it out to him. But I bought it, pay for its insurance, etc. I didn't say he could take it. So should I call the police? Or just let it slide?

iid call the police personally. cause if he runs someone over, you are responsilbe.

Heck yeah you need to call the police. That's theft.

Umm, call your brother's friend on a cell phone? How old are you and your brother?

If someone even so much as got in my car I would have SWAT all over that (joking); though if I could I would. But in all seriousness its in your best interest to report the car stolen, otherwise you can be the one held responsibile.

Beat him when you see him.

Tell him to bring it straight back or you'll call the police.. if he doesn't then call them. You are responsible for anything he does, if he gets caught you will pay for it. Honeslty it isn't worth your time letting it slide, atleast if you let the police know it was taking without your permission you wont be held responsible.

I did call him and he gave me an attitude. So...I'm calling the police. Be back.

dude its your **** brother just let it go this time why would you call the cops

Good for you. Have your camera ready if you can and post some pics.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]His brother wasn't the one who stole the car. :|

Pirate700

is your brother directly involved in this situation?LanceA63

so what? its his own **** brother who lent out the car and its probably the first time this has happened. some people are so quick to call the cops on their own family and friends its ridiculous. and dont forget his brother lent out the car so when you call the cops on the friend what happens to the brother?

Its true. The main reason why its a big deal is the fact I'm moving to Cali this October and I'd like my car to be in the shape its in since I'm driving it the whole way there.

Call the cops

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="spliffstar12"] i meant it was his brother that lent out the car. theirs no need to call the cops if it happens again or the car is **** up afterwards or some **** then go ahead but its not like some random dude jacked his car his little brother lent it out.

spliffstar12

He called his brother's friend on the cell phone. His brother's friend gave him an attitude. Calling the cops is the right thing. He does not want any damage to his car. This is not like he is borrowing his pocket knife. Calling the police is the right thing to do unless you know somebody that will pay for the damages or the owner of the car has money he can thow away.

The TC does not have to press charges against the brother. The second the friend took the keys and rode off, he committed theft. The brother didn't break any law.

Again, his brother didn't "lend" out anything. There is no lending out someone elses property. His friend will be charged with grand theft if this story is true.

Pirate700

Uh....taking something that isn't yours is theft. His brother has no right to keys just because they both own the garage. The friend will say the brother gave him keys...and he thought the car was his. Therefore, they can't prosecute him without also prosecuting the brother. I find the brother more culpable.

As for drugs.....the owner of the vehicle can be charged as well.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]The friend has zero excuse. By law the friend has the responsibility to know who's car he is taking. Ignorance hold no ground in any court in the US. The brother may be responsible for helping but the friend has 100% responsibility to know who's property he is leaving with. It's like on Cops when someone get's pulled over with someone elses car and they get busted for the drugs in the car even when they didn't know it was there. It's their responsibility.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Uh...if I give you keys to a car, says it mine and you can use it......do you believe you should be arrested and prosecuted for the theft? The person who takes the keys is the initial thief. His brother is responsible.LJS9502_basic
