Question about a possible stolen car?

Question

My friend is in a little bit of a vibe. He let this girl use one of his cars for a couple of weeks. Anyway, he asked for it back yesterday and shes refusing to give it back. He went to the police and they said because he loaned it to her shes not committing a crime. I think thats bullshit because the car is under my friends name and he asked for it back. If she refuses isnt that theft? Does my friend have a case? What can he do if the poilice are wrong? Could he go to the D.A's office?

Answer 1

I'd certainly contact the DA's office. They can tell your friend if he has a case.

Answer 2

DA only prosecutes cases.  Instead of talking to a patrolman, seek out a higher ranking official in the police department.  If that doesn't work suggest calling the state police instead of the local..../

Answer 3

Not stolen. He gave her permission. He can just go get it though.
