If they turn the paper over to to the cops, the DA can charge him and can use his confession against him. There is also the testimony of the parents. They are witnesses to him coming him with the car, and witnesses to his lack of permission, Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

It's much harder to make a legal case against him if they didn't report the car stolen. It's still wrong, probably still illegal, but the police aren't likely to take it seriously if it happened weeks ago and they're just complaining about it now. Was this answer helpful to you?

2009-12-24 05:33:29 +0000	Of course they can. They can press charges and have the police arrest him. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

2009-12-24 05:36:37 +0000	Technically, no his parents can not press charges against him. But they CAN file a police report about his taking the car without permission. It will then be up to the prosecuting agency whether or not charges are filed. As for the written statement, it may or may not be allowed, depending on your state's code of evidence and the factual circumstances surrounding his writing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

2009-12-24 05:47:37 +0000	now that he has put it in writing they can take it to the police and let them follow up with any charges.........what I think they are doing is [as a parent my self] is making dang sue that SHOULD he be stupid enough to do it again they will without hesitation report it stolen and and that good stuff that comes with him breaking the law once again, after all they have it in writing that he has already set a precedent for doing this.
