The officer that filed the report was polite but didn't want to do more than
what he had to, sort of like it was my fault 'cause I trusted this guy. I
understand that a detective will be calling me to find out more, I will give
him the info then. The cop said to me that this guy would not do any time
if he was ever caught, that it would take over 8 arrests for grand theft
auto before any prison time, they just get probation. Bail is about $2500,
he pays $250 and gets out, then it might take up to two years before a trial
then probation. It's funny I sometimes watch "COPS" and these guys chase
these car thieves at over 100 miles an hour for what, probation? Maybe it's
like a sport, hunting or something.

You need to make sure that the police record the car and VIN as stolen,
and mark it that way in the NCIC- National Crime Information Computer.
This way should someone stop the car, it will come up stolen. You may
even get him in the process.
