I was chilling with 2 friends and some guy one of my other friends introduced me to that we'll call A. I'd only met him a few times before. So we were at my old apartment (I had just moved a couple days ago) and we smoked a joint. So then I pull out a bottle of some 80 proof apple shit and A takes a double shot of it. So I had put my keys on the countertop and a few minutes later A grabs my keys and runs out the door with them. So I'm thinking he's just fucking around and will be right back. 10 minutes later, he's still not there so I pack up all my shit and throw it in my backpack. Now I'm thinking this is fucked because I can't even lock the door of the apartment and without the keys I can't get back in the front door. Anyways, we go outside and look for him. As we come around to the front of the complex, where I had parked my mom's car, we see him and 2 cop cars. Needless to say, we turn around and hide behind one of the apartment buildings for about 20 minutes. Anyways, I ditch all my shit in a bush and my friends and I take the other exit from the complex and get picked up at a gas station across the street by some other friends. I decide to go talk to the cops though, as I can't just leave my mom's car! So, I walk up to the car and now there is just the one cop. As I approach the car, I hear 2 dogs start barking from the backseat and I'm thinking oh shit, not good. Anyways, I tell the cop it's my mom's car. He ends us searching me and finds in my backpack part of a vaporizer I had forgotten to ditch. I try to pretend I don't know what it is and so he says then he's gonna charge me with paraphernalia. I then fess up and he says he'll toss it out, no charges. He goes on to tell me A, who is 17, got pulled over for no headlights. He had alcohol in his system and they found a bowl on him plus he doesn't have a fucking driver's license! The cop asks me if I want to press charges for the car theft, but I decline, feeling he's already fucked over enough. Anyways, luckily we got a new phone number and the cop couldn't get through to my mom before I talked to him. So I got in no trouble at all and got the car back but A is fucked and won't be able to get his license for a long time. Guess it serves him right!
Wow the law working the way its suppose to with the dicks going to jail and the one not hurting anyone free to go. Now that's rare.
Dude I would have pressed charges on A. Drinks your booze, jacks your moms car. Charges + a severe ass beating and then I would think he got fucked over enough.
I had afriend like A, he would take my keys out of the ignition and run like hell..when I caught up with him I beat his ass!
I don't see why you wouldn't press charges, you did just meet the guy, you didn't have a personal connection to him, so you should have pressed charges. What the hell is wrong with people? I'm the kinda guy you can trust right away with ANYTHING, I'm no prick, but it's people like that that make people too wary to just trust me, which is smart, but if there weren't people like that, there'd be no need.
