Evo theif dies in car crash

Surely consent can be given retrospectively? If I go outside now and take my mum's car without specifically asking to I have not stolen it. I know that if asked, she would give permission. In the event that she was asked whether I had her consent, the answer would be yes.

Well yeah, and as the car in this case was unlikely to be insured for said 17 yr old, the Uncle would then be aiding and abetting a crime.

So yeah although consent could be given after, it wasn't and so it was TWOC.

Your mother, by insuring you, would be giving a form of open consent anyway.
 
Karma strikes!

So the is justice in this world :D

They can't give consent retrospectively but they can choose not to report it or not to press charges if the taker was caught, etc.

Bad times :(
I guess on the bright side they didn't injure any other people.
 
What an awful penalty to pay for such youthful foolishness.

This in a nutshell.

I know if I had a stripped evo sitting on my drive way as a kid I would've been tempted. Can remember a few times taking one of my mates dads cars a spin around his area (middle of no-where, rarely any police) when we were 16/17 could've just as easily happened to us.
 
Absolutely it was sod's law that the passenger has died and not the person at fault for taking it in the first place.

(And before you try to troll, if i was the passenger i would NOT get into the car of a 17 year old, nevermind an Evo that the passenger probably knew was stolen).
 
That is terrible really, no way did somebody 'stealing' (yeah.. ok) his uncle's car deserve to die.

Some people really need to get over themselves on this board..
 
I'm going to expand on my earlier post and use the prefix "allegedly" as I'm not sure of the current legal status surrounding the accident.

First of all, the poster in the linked thread who "verified" certain information has a very different version of events from that which I have had relayed to me. The driver was not a thief and had permission to use the car. Which was used to ferry the uncle to a location where he was dropped off and it was whilst returning home to the farm to drop the vehicle off the incident occurred.
