Lot of these comments are weird.
I'm fortunate enough where if someone stole my car, its not the end of the world. I work from home. I can afford to pay for Uber or public transportation. My life is mildly inconvenienced.
Where my buddy works two minwage jobs. Steal his car, and he's going to struggle a lot. I helped him when his car was in the shop, and he was a mess.
And yet commenters here are going, "Poor car thief what a victim of circumstance." While also totally cool with him fucking over others? Your empathy is fascinating.
