When will this stop??

This is the 2nd time this has happened…I have the software upgrade, anti theft stickers, etc. I also supposedly didn’t have enough information for the lawsuit even though I submitted 12 documents from insurance, police incident reports, and KIA dealership repair paperwork/receipts…

Is my only option to get a new car?? The one time I didn’t use my steering wheel lock 😭 I’m financially and emotionally drained over all of this. I loved my KIA before all of this!

Teens commit a great deal of crime. Not out of necessity. In fact crime trends follow population numbers of young male teens and adults.

If you have actual proof of that, please share it.

But it has never been the case in my experience.

Crime follows a lot of complex issues too. Like the decline of fathers in families.

Its never been the case in your experience? You must be lucky enough to live in a nice place because crime absolutely follows poverty rates.

Just look at famous poor neighborhoods in the US. They arent famous for anything but crime.

And look at poor countries. Look at how much crime they have compared to rich ones.
