A: If you rented a U-Haul and your friend, who was supposed to return it, instead stole it, resulting in GTA (Grand Theft Auto) charges against you, it's crucial to take immediate action. First, report the theft to the police and provide them with all relevant details, explaining that your friend took the vehicle without authorization. Obtain a copy of the police report for documentation. Additionally, contact U-Haul to inform them of the situation and provide them with the police report. They may be able to assist in clarifying the circumstances and potentially mitigating any charges or financial liabilities.
