The odd thing to me is how this is considered voluntary parting. Presumably you could show that, through KitSplit, the renter and owner entered into a legal contract. Maybe this is the true problem with the gig economy.
If I rented a car/phone/computer/camera directly from any legitimate company, you can bet that the police and lawyers wouldn't consider that <legitimate company> voluntarily parted with their property.

- cpach 7y agoIn the article it says that “(...) [Kitsplit] worked with the NYPD and law enforcement authorities to recover stolen and missing gear in cases where the equipment value is $200,000 or more”. Maybe it varies between different police departments, but I’m quite sure many departments won’t spend time investigating someone with a faked identity that steals a single computer and similar.
