Q: I woke up one night at approximately 5pm, I went outside to go to Walmart and my car was gone. I reported car stolen.
The police came back the next night accusing me of making false report because apparently my ex boyfriend was driving the car and had gotten into an accident. I allow him to use my car when he needs it but in this particular day I did not know that he had the car as I thought he was out of state. Now the police are threatening to charge me. My question is how do I avoid myself being charged(at time of report I truly thought car stolen) also I do not want my ex being charged with stolen car either. I'm stressed out I don't know what to do
A: This sounds important. But it is difficult to answer this question online because more information is necessary. If it is as important to you as it sounds, then you will want to contact a private attorney to discuss this in more detail.
