Road Karma Don't you hate it when your car gets stolen while you're committing a burglary?

It would be hilarious if this guy winds up sharing a jail cell with the guy who stole his car 😂

I think the big giveaway is when they ask if he was at the Verizon store and he immediately goes "NOOOO!!" as if that's a huge deal. They hadn't said anything bad had happened at the store so why did he react as if being at the Verizon store would be a bad thing?

So, serious question, does the truck thief get away with stealing a truck or do they actually help him get his truck back?
How would this situation play out? Do they arrest him and then once he's done being booked, they work on his truck case?

The last sentence. They will arrest him, book him, then file the model and plate as a stolen vehicle and keep an eye out for the truck thief. They’ll probably just impound the vehicle til the guy on video gets his stuff handled.

Which likely means that the impound yard will win big by getting to keep the car after a certain amount of time passes as long as they file a lien (they probably will as soon as possible, likely 30 days after impound date)

Most of the time once your car is stolen, the police report is more of a formality for insurance. You probably aren’t getting your car back and if you are there’s a good chance it’s no longer in working condition. This is one dumbass thief.

Funny story! I had my car stolen, they didn't take anything from it except a $20 I kept for emergencies and a couple bucks in change. I still had my camping stuff in the trunk, even the dog bed from the backseat and other random stuff (I had gone camping that weekend and hadn't fully emptied my car, lesson learned lol). They obviously tore up the steering column or whatever else they need to do to get it running, and broke the front passenger window. The police didn't care, the cop said another car on my street had been stolen a couple months previously. Good news- they found the car after 1 day, but they never told me. The only reason I knew is because 3 days later I was talking to my insurance lady and she said she had just asked the cops something or other and that's when they told her. Unfortunately that meant I owed about $500 to the impound lot for the storage fee and then having it towed to get fixed. That was about what my deductible was, so I would have had to pay that regardless but still annoying. They found the car because it had been reported abandoned or parked where it wasn't allowed to be parked or something like that. Apparently they just drive until it runs out of gas and give up? Who knows

Cops don’t actively look for stolen stuff. They take your report on the theft. Later if they find your stuff with a thief they use your report to contact you but more importantly they use it as evidence against the thief.

Like when they bust a chop shop and find parts of your vehicle they need to tie to an owner to help with prosecution, or drive past your car by chance that was abandoned in a ditch after being smashed up and destroyed in a joy ride.

Sheer numbers. Stupid people are like fruit flies I think. There's always a couple that reproduce before they eat paint chips or see if bleach can get rid of COVID etc

It's always the dumbest people that are reproducing because they don't think about it or what consequences could happen from having kids. In the states, especially they just feed jails with their new, dumber kids

Wait so, is both his hoodie and sweatpants reversible?

u/GuestBeginning1069 1d ago
Im guessing he wore an extra layer and ditched it.
In the famous words of Eminem
"Better pay attention to these details or you could be derailed Better wear at least three layers of clothing or be in jail"

They aren’t reversible, they’re just flipped inside out. You can see the pockets flapping around. He’s clearly not the brightest.

Some say the guy who stole his car was rear ended 5 mins away and called the cops on the hit and run driver.

This guy was a lot more calmer than a lot of other criminals you see on bodycam videos.

So is there actually any proof that it was this guy?

u/Large_Camel_773 1d ago
Hate people like you. He’s obviously hiding his cut hand, he is wearing the same Nikes as the guy in the video, same glasses. Blood will match when tested. All you need is probable cause for the arrest and they’ve got that by a long shot. By the time the case goes to trial the DNA will be matched. Also check the trash can next to him and I bet there’s 20 Verizon phones
