Sounds like you will be forced to steal your car back like some bad 80s comedy.

Or use modern technology to do the cop’s work for them (locating your stolen, expensive investment) and actually seeing a result.

In truth, it sounds like the police have a staffing shortage. Constructively, citizens helping the police due to staff shortages sounds like a positive thing to do. Of course, it is not ideal, but what is in life exactly?

I agree, take advantage and be pro active while remaining safe…throwing up your hands and relying on others ain’t going to cut it.

You’d have to get me drunker than Cooter Brown to try to get my car back from any criminal. However, as I noted, I would call the police and give them the lead. I would hope, they would pursue the individual(s), and I have no reason to believe they wouldn’t.
