Agree except for one thing - with a CT they absolutely can get away from you, all they need to do is go over a small puddle or into a car wash.

I’d guess around $50k for the CT repairs plus thousands of dollars in charges for lost rental revenue from the rental company and then whatever kind of mandatory sentencing he’ll get for aggravated assault and his multiple driving violations.
$30,000?? LOL!
Correct. “Man traps” are generally illegal, even on your own property.
The legal question of whether or not you can get away with setting traps on your property and injuring an intruder have long been settled, and it doesn’t end well for the homeowner setting the traps.
Maybe the rental company’s insurance will cover the damage, but rental agreements comes with all kinds of legal liabilities. For example, the renter may be liable for any lost revenue due to the vehicle being out of service until the damaged vehicle can be repaired or replaced, not to mention a whole of of other…
Most insurance policies have a clause stating they will not pay out in the event the vehicle is used for a crime, and deliberately running someone off the road definitely sounds like a crime. I wouldn’t be surprised if all the insurances involved refused to pay out.
Booby trapping your property with explosives would likely result in felony charges. Just follow Mark Rober’s lead and make some stink/glitter bomb packages.
Yeah. Despite what Hollywood tells us, petty theft is not a capital offense. I absolutely understand the frustration, but also this dude is going to lose way more than an Amazon package.
In this case, yes, the Turo insurance should cover this, IMHO (but I would not be surprised if they worm their way out of it). The insured is the owner of the truck, they are in the business of renting them, and it’s not like you can vet who is going to decide to be a vigilante with your truck. So Turo should pay out…
Exactly this. With a CT they’re not getting away from you, and the police can spot you instantly. Get their tag number and a description of the thief. Do what the police dispatcher tells you.
$30,000 in damage to save a $20 Etsy necklace! Huzzah!
I bought a $4200 Canali suit to replace my old, worn out $200 Men’s Warehouse special, and everyone thinks I’m still wearing the old suit! How awesome is that ?!?
I’ve seen several wrapped ones (and several unwrapped ones) near me, and all the wrapped ones look WAYYYYYYYYYYY less stupid. Still not great, but much less dumb.
It doesn’t look exactly the same - the actual stainless steel finish looks like shit. The finish is inconsistent between panels, and they often develop a green or brown sort of scummy patina on them. There’s a Cybertruck in my city that I see every so often and the stainless steel finish in person looks godawful. It…
So, about two weeks then?
That’s an insult to dip shits.
That takes a special kind of stupid.
On a side note, I bet places that wrap vehicles LOVE doing these things. Probably the easiest car out there to wrap 🤣
Talk about putting the steal in stealership. The worst of it is,this is perfectly legal.
