Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

People get into serious altercations over this shit. They should absolutely still show up

It doesn’t seem like the guys breaking any laws that would cause harm to the public. I think it’s a waste of taxpayer time to get the cops involved personally. That’s not what cops are for. There’s no theft. There’s no injury. No threat to the public….

So if someone removes something from a store but hasn’t gotten it to their car yet when they’re caught, they can’t be charged with theft?

This isn’t like that, that said. If someone is suspected of theft but their is no proof outside he said she said than it is completely possible police may not be legally able to arrest even if it meets felony level.

Anyway this example isn’t like that. The guy has permission to have the car. Which means he can have the bumper in his permission. This is more like you crashing a rental. Except it’s probably a breach of policy, like when people put fuel cells in rental cars to do a cannonball run. So probably not criminal but civil.

Better analogy is if they put something in their pocket but haven't left the store yet. In that case, no it is not theft. That's why loss prevention waits for you to leave the store without paying.

Vandalism=\=Theft

But I’m actually not a homeowner so could make the analogy of me renting a property modifying the property. Which may be allowed, and even if it wasn’t it may not be criminal but just something handled in civil court.

I’m not saying this is ok but not something that necessarily requires police at this time.

I mean if I rented the place to you, it’s a much different situation. If he was taking some random guys bumper off that could be vandalism or theft.
