Why is the merchandise taken from Home Depot considered stolen but the car is being used without consent. Why aren’t the items taken from Home Depot considered being used without consent. Is the sheriff trying to manipulate stolen car reports by calling them non-consent use? What is this?!!
Don’t blame the Sheriff Dept. they did there job. Did you forget about all these new laws that took effect not too long ago to keep all the degenerates from doing jail time. I believe that now it is not a misdemeanor if the total of stolen goods is under $900 and of course they get the right to a free appointed lawyer paid by the same people who they rob from. All complaints should go to your governor. Just sayin……..
Correction, over $900.
