Crikey but that's pretty rough! I'd wager that the 'friend' is no longer on her Christmas card mailing list.

How sad. Hope for a full ( & easy ) recovery for Madison.. shame to lose a car that way. The thief needs to be taught a lesson!

I'd concentrate on getting the police and prosecuting attorney interested in pursuing prosecution if that's what you want, before talking to any attorney and starting his clock running. You're dealing with kids who make stupid mistakes and don't have a pot to pee in. The idea of "....somebody paying" doesn't stand much of a chance, if you're thinking dollars. The alleged perpetrator may lose a few years of her life for stupid actions, and that's a high cost.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Due to the possibility of litigation and the climate surrounding social media I feel compelled to not have any further comment on this subject. I will say, though, the police department has not finished their investigation and accordingly no action will be taken until a full report is released.Ken Thomas

Wise words Roger. The only ones that win are the attorneys.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
