Mandle, you missed Kumpel on the 1st page... (roll)

Did Sally owned as in registered in her name) the stolen car?
Is Harry alive?
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Kumpel

@cassiebsg: it's okay. all my question are being asked again and answered by now. (laugh)

Was it easier and/or cheaper for Sally to get the car stolen instead of getting rid of it the legal way?
Is it important to know why Harry stole the car?




Snarky

Was Harry caught? (I don't think you can press charges unless someone is arrested in the first place)
Is there a functioning justice system for Sally to press charges within?*

(* Since that's a debatable proposition for e.g. the US justice system, I guess what I'm asking is whether Sally considers it a functioning justice system.)

Haha... look at the edit time of Kumpel's post and the posting time of my next update. There was only the one question when I was posting at 7:02 so Kumpel must have edited at pretty much the exact same time.

The question that has me dumbfounded is it was Sally's car but it was not registered to her.
Questions:
would Sally go to jail if she reported it stolen?
