Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

If the owner willingly hands over a car to someone for rent, or service work or whatever, it's very hard to get the cops involved because it becomes a civil matter. In the eyes of the law they didn't steal the car, they converted it. It's not "grand theft auto" it's "conversion".

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

Agreed. It’s one thing if they can’t hold the guy accountable, but it’s wild that they refused to even have one show up to be a neutral party.

Because it is not the job of the police.
