Reminds me of a story from a morning radio show. Guy calls in to say how he "legally" stole a car. Steals expensive car, strips it, abandons frame. Frame is collected and put up for auction. Thief buys bare frame and puts all the stripped parts back on.
- hugofloss 7y agoI wonder how this is legal. I mean you might not be held accountable for car theft anymore, but being prosecuted for normal theft is still possible, right?
- emiliobumachar 7y agoIt's definitely still car theft. They just avoided getting caught.
- ansible 7y agoIt is definitely car theft. This is just a way of getting a clean (-ish) title for it afterwards. In the USA, it will still be a salvage title.
- erikig 7y agoIt is definitely car theft. But...if he claimed that he parked the car in this neighborhood and came back to find it stripped he could conceivably get away with it. That's an interview I would like to listen to
- ansible 7y ago> It is definitely car theft. But...if he claimed that he parked the car in this neighborhood and came back to find it stripped he could conceivably get away with it. That sounds more like insurance fraud, actually. Which you can also get sued for.
