Wednesday night my 1989 Dodge Raider was stolen from the parking lot at my shop in SE Portland near 9th and Division. Please keep an eye out for it. I'm kind of freaking out inside. I just want it back.
These are not at all common, so if you see one around, it's probably mine. Plate #SP 20432
If you see it, contact the Portland police.
Thanks.
That does suck and like The Chukker said I hope they catch them and you can get it back. I have always liked those rides my dad had one when I was younger
I got a call Monday at about 4AM; the police found my car. The arrested the guy driving it. It now has body damage and a bunch of mechanical issues that need to be fixed. Plus, I need to replace all of the controls and trim on the steering column. I haven't yet put together an actual list of everything that needs to be replace/repaired, but it looks like it will be pretty long.
Also, my neighbor had his Land Rover Defender about 2-3 hours earlier. They unhooked his trailer from the car before they stole it. They couldn't figure out how to remove the trailer safety chains from the car so they unbolted them from the trailer. Here's where it gets fun: I found trailer chains sitting on the floor of my car when I picked it up from the tow yard.
id sue for damages. you shouldn't have to pay to fix your car after some asshat stole it and messed it up. but thats me. plus it'll teach them a better lesson not the do that crap.
You could sue but I have a feeling that these low lifes have nothing so it would be a complete waste of time. All you can do is let the insurance take care of it that is why we all have it
I had only liability coverage on the car. The kid that was arrested is only 16. He was charged with 2 class C felonies: Possession of a stolen vehicle and unauthorized use of a vehicle. He was also charged with interfering with a peace officer.
I'm going to try to get restitution. Apparently there is a juvenile work program in Multnomah County specifically to pay off restitution. If that doesn't work I may take is parent(s) to small claims court.
My neighbor's Land Rover was also "recovered". I don't have all the details but apparently it was in a police chase and is now a total loss. I'm told the guy totaled a few other cars during the chase. No word on what he was charged with.
Doubtful. I believe he has quite a long criminal record already.
