This kid was born a year before this site was created. Think about that. Disgraceful parenting.

thats not the reason at all, it's poverty caused by income/wealth inequality.

I don't need your Negropean, pro-urban ass telling me a damn thing about the human condition. I've lived my life and drawn my conclusions. Have some respect for a perspective other than yours when it comes to something as abstract as human behavior. Put a bunch of well off people in an environment where they live like sardines and you bet they'll have a greater chance of seeing each other's dark sides. From concentration of people to increased interactions, it's simple mathematics.

But people like you believe the rich are immune from their own primal, animalistic nature. That behavior is only reseved for the poor and downtrodden seems to be your belief.

Regardless of whatever the cause is, human beings are shıt, and the more they're around you the more chance you have of dealing with shıt. I don't like dealing with shıt other than my own so I have zero reason to live in spaces that are densely populated. And since I can afford to live my preferred way, that's what I do. Fukk that concrete jungle bullshıt for real for real.

Can’t blame the owner… car is his livelihood , which he work hard to pay for

That kid mama and daddy should have been better parents and not letting your son run the streets

This little nikka thought his so called friends was family and when he realized and saw them nikkas running away while he was dying, he wanted his real family then..

Stories like this is like almost every other day

where in denver were they living like sardines?

what could have possibly motivated them to steal a car?

That anger don't go away. When my shyt was stolen, I found my car on Craigslist months after I had been paid out and bought a new car. I responded to the ad while loading up my gun. I don't know what I was gonna do but it was going to be stupid.

I feel you.

I know someone who just got carjacked at gunpoint. Literally last week. It must be a shytty feeling for a hard working person. I felt so bad. They stole it to joyride. Car was found the next day and it was totaled.

I can’t blame anyone for how they react. I hate thieves. Death to them all

When my car got stolen, insurance totaled it, completely paid it off, and I got a new car. I don’t think I would ever actually go hunting for my car. I let the cops handle it. I just don’t see any good from trying to locate your car yourself. You’re already dealing with thieves, so it’s not like they would just hand the car back over nicely.

do people not have car insurance and gap coverage (if still financed). Why not tell the police where the app. spotted your car. He almost lost his life over a car and now a12 year old is dead. Not, saying these thieves are not at fault but the aftermath could have been avoided.

Cops claim they have bigger fish to fry. Insurance isn't as simple as reporting something stolen and getting enough money for a like for like replacement: premiums go up, you might have to pay a set amount to claim, they might try arguing that the vehicle is less than its worth.

I used to feel this way but it’s different now. I keep hearing people talk about how they understand why people are robbing and stealing out here and stuff. That “people are going through it” stuff don’t only apply to robbers and shyt, nobody knows what the car owner is going throw either. Yeah he could’ve just called his insurance and involved the law but sometimes that shyt don’t work. I mean my insurance screwed me over when I had to get my windshield fixed and I had to pay out of pocket. They’re not always reliable. I’m so sad little man was even around all that though smh. R.I.P.

5 Different Kill Switches to Install in Your Car to Prevent Car Theft

It is a fact that cars are stolen every day. In the US, there are more than 715,000 thefts each year, which could be prevented with a kill switch.

mechanicbase.com

Kill Switch Cost​

The average kill switch will cost between $10 and $100 for the part and installation. However, this price depends on what type you choose, the vehicle make and model, plus whether you install it yourself or you have it professionally added.

When you evaluate the low cost of the kill switch, it’s really a no-brainer, especially if you live or work in an area with a lot of car theft. For less than $100, you can keep your car from being stolen, which isn’t just a hassle, but can make your insurance rates jump through the roof. The automotive kill switch is certainly better than installing one of those bulky steering wheel locks and doesn’t provide a million false alerts as the car alarms do.

I don't be understanding folks who go looking for people that stole their car. One of my exes mama tried to get me to roll with her to get some dudes who stole her car because she knew I had a gun. I told her dumb ass that my gun is for self defense and not some bullshyt that has nothing to do with me!

RIP to the child.

"Dooley said a basic kill switch ranges from $250 to $350 installed, and an alarm system can cost as little as $450 installed. “What a kill switch does is, once you put your key in the ignition, it's not going to start the vehicle,” he said.Sep 24, 2022"

I can tell you there is zero chance unless you self install that your paying $50 to $100 and I even doubt it price on most modern cars

They have a tracker then they for sure have insurance. Even if the police don’t get the car, it’s reported stolen amd they recieve payout to get a new vehicle. Now, they have a vehicle that’s been shot up, someone bled in, died in and they can’t drive anyway…..

If I lost my car, I’d probably be lose my job and how I provide for my family. It takes months to get your insurance claim verified, cops to actually send you the stuff you need, and card are unbelievably expensive right now.

You’re acting like it’s just a minor inconvenience

How about people not steal cars?
