Thread: Granddaughter's new car

Tweet

Crikey but that's pretty rough! I'd wager that the 'friend' is no longer on her Christmas card mailing list.
Tell Madison that we're sending good thoughts and aroha her way hoping she recovers quickly.

Well now. I was going to offer a glowing atta boy to GrandPa... but now I can only say awe Sh_ _!
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!

The case is being built, although lawyers will probably become involved,as we speak.
I will keep everyone informed.

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.

Wise words Roger. The only ones that win are the attorneys.

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.
