How are you supposed to help the victim while simultaneously avoid being falsely accused of being the perpetrator?

    Even if you’re white, the police are chronically underfunded and so if you report a crime they often dont do anything at all about it other than maybe filing a report. If your car gets stolen, you’re never seeing that car again

      Nah - usually stolen cars are just taken for a joyride or something, and then are left on a random street. Eventually someone will report an abandoned vehicle or a cop will pull up to give them a parking ticket, they’ll run the plates, and you’ll get a notification that they found your car.

        They’ll also tow it to their impound lot, and you will have to pay the towing and storage fees to get it back.
