Lot of these comments are weird.
I'm fortunate enough where if someone stole my car, its not the end of the world. I work from home. I can afford to pay for Uber or public transportation. My life is mildly inconvenienced.
Where my buddy works two minwage jobs. Steal his car, and he's going to struggle a lot. I helped him when his car was in the shop, and he was a mess.
And yet commenters here are going, "Poor car thief what a victim of circumstance." While also totally cool with him fucking over others? Your empathy is fascinating.
If someone steals my yet to be paid in the next 2 years car, I am going bankrupt for the next 7 years. I plan to sell it once it gets paid, then buy another one. If it gets stolen, I have no perspective and financial conditions in buying a car again just by saving money.
Car dependance is a hell of a drug. The fact that urban design can put people in poverty like that is a wild idea.
That’s what happens when you have the fourth largest land mass in the world and awful public transportation (mostly because of car company lobbying)
