Reply #35: From a "moral perspective"? Yes...

Since places in this county still do not adequate mass transit, people there depend on their personal vehicles to get them to and from work. If their car or truck is stolen, and they can't afford to replace it because of insufficient insurance or money, they face losing their job because they can't get to work. We're talking working class people here, not the wealthy.

Or, the case of the independent skilled tradesman.... plumber, electrician, carpenter, appliance repairman, etc. They have a work vehicle that they use to get from job to job. It has all their tools, and equipment. They could easily have $100,000 in vehicle and tools. If that vehicle is stolen, they can't work, they can't pay their bills, buy food for their family, or keep a roof over their heads.

What your really stating is that ordinary working class people should have to face being hungry or homeless just to preserve the life of a criminal.

Then I bet you wonder why more working class people don't vote Democratic. :sarcasm:
