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.
Both can be true. People see his humanity, he's not willing to put this baby in a bad position. He may very well be a victim of circumstance. But for all anyone knows, the people he stole the car from could have replied on it just as much. I know I'd never financially recover from that and I wouldn't have a lot of empathy for the thief, but that doesn't mean the situation isn't nuanced.
Probably because he didn't want to get charged with child kidnapping. How much worse did this child's life get because their parent's car got stolen? "Sorry son, we had $8,000 started for you to go to college but someone stole our car when you were younger and that's not something that you can bounce back from in this economy so you've got to take out loans." Fuck him and fuck people who steal from their own class.
I have the right to defend myself if anyone tries to steal my vial of gamer girl bathwater and I'll do it.
That's how I deal with thieves instead of complaining about them online.
