Answer 1

If you don't own it, or know who owned the car, you should have stayed out of it. How would you feel if your apartment door was unlocked, and someone you didn't know thought he'd go in and try it out?

Answer 2

Actually, the charges from what I can tell from your story aren't bogus at all.  At the very least, you should have been charged with criminal tresspass.

Fortunentally for you, the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you're guilty.

My advice, get a good lawyer.

Answer 3

Of course you're not guilty.  Oh, can you leave your mom's car unlocked tonight?  I promise I'll just sit in the car at 2am. . . I won't take anything.

Answer 4

im not an expert of the law but if you didn't wreck the car or did anything bad to it than nothing bad should happen to you, tell the truth and justice will be served.  Oh and make sure to get a lawyer it makes things alot easier
