When I was only 16 years old I started dating a boy named Patrick. We had our ups and downs just like any kids in a relationship. We were on one of our ups when i decided to move in with him. We lived together and sometimes had roommates for 4 and a half years. I started getting sick and spent a lot of time in the hospital. This was hard for me because we had our differences and money was tight causing some difficulties in our relationship. So one night in May I was hospitalized for a gallbladder removal surgery. I had complications with it and ended up staying in the hospital for a week to follow, when it was supposed to be DAY surgery. On this night my dad went to my house to pick up my car so my mother could use it while I was away since my bf didn't have a license. When he arrived after spending all day till about midnight at the hospital he returned to me with the worst look on his face. I thought someone had died. He looked at me and said Keely your cars gone, and I've reported it stolen. About 30 minutes after reporting it my father got a call from the police saying it was found smashed into a wall and the car was a right off. Make a long story short... the keys were found in the car. Only person that had access to the keys was my bf Patrick.. Oh boy was my father pissed. I had just bought the car for 6 grand and had put another 6 grand into it. My poor car. So all in all.. in the past 3 years I've gone to court about this MANY times. Finally a judgment was giving that my X who admitted to this crime was to pay 3 grand to replace the car because insurance wouldn't cover it because the keys were found in the car. Why pay insurance for no reason?? Anyways I have still not received a dime for this car and the courts have not received anything on there fines they gave him. Totaling just over 750 dollars. So all in all he has to pay out about 4 grand for joy riding and smashing a car worth 12 thousand dollars. Oh did I mention.. I still have to pay off the loan I had out for the car?? I'm pretty pi$$ed about this and it feels good to get things off my chest.. But what do you guys think about this court ordered judgment for 3 grand.. When the car was worth 12grand and I brought in proof. Also what about the fines? 750 dollars.. the kid didn't even have a license or insurance. Also he admitted to being under the influence while in possession of my car. The carless wonder.

Canadian laws are sure whack to say the least. But I don't understand why they aren't garnishing his wage? He should be doing something with his life now? Maybe not. But anyway the judge should order garnishment as well as warrant for his arrest. That is crazy what he did. He should be charged alot more than $750 worth of fines. He took the keys (stole the car), had no licence, was intoxicated, and most likely driving at high speeds. But anyway there are 3 charges right there that he should be fined for. Totally sucks about the car. But I know if you get into an accident the vehicle is a write off you still have to pay the remaining balance on the vehicle. Really stupid when you don't have the vehicle anymore but thats the way it goes.

Yea.. not to mention that the police estimated the car was doing 140 when it hit a wall.. and he admitted in court to going 160.. and hes still able to get his license when ever he wants.. which is stupid and dangerous. Its a miricle him and his friends didn't die.. but i wish he would have. then insurance would have covered it.

They still let him have a license? WHAT?!?!? That is crazy. The insurance company should make him pull the full value of the car. Some people will never learn and I hope that he gets punished and they take his license. But will that matter or not?
