Basically the repo guy was negligent. They got a reader hit for a car they were looking for and he just drove to that block and looked for a white make X model Y and went up to the first one he found (my friend's) and tried to tell him he was going to take the car without ever looking at the VIN #. The cops were called and the guy admitted he never checked the VIN, which was obviously not a match for what he was looking for.
- tonyarkles 11y agoFor sure... But was it civil negligence or criminal negligence? Civil negligence is exactly what I'm talking about, with the courts coming up with an adequate remedy to make the car owner whole. In Canada, criminal negligence is defined as: "219 (1) Every one is criminally negligent who (a) in doing anything, or (b) in omitting to do anything that it is his duty to do, shows wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other persons." It'd be a pretty hard sell here for him to meet that definition, but the common law/civil definition would certainly fit.
