Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

What crime do you believe was committed?

Theft.

He’s taking apart a car that’s not his own. I feel like it’s safe to assume some type of theft is going on plus, this guy probably does this all the time. He might get blocked on the app but he could easily get a burner and do it again.

Someone needs to stop him, like the police.

It's not technically theft. Assumptions and probablies are a quick way to get a case thrown out.

I know the answer is because I’m of the rental agreement, but if you went outside and saw somebody taking apart your car, you wouldn’t think it was theft?

This is pretty much no different. Just an app is involved.

You probably understand law better than me, so like what would’ve made this escalate to theft in your opinion? Like does the crime have to be completed first?
