    No… but if we’re going to burn these vehicles why not reclaim and sell them instead?

    All of you “smart” people are making the same argument that the owners of these vehicles would have to choose to sell them. Did they choose to have them set on fire? No. So we can sell the vehicles instead of setting them on fire and use the money to help those in need.

    Wow. It’s so sad this needs to be spelled out for you people, but it’s to be expected at this point.

      reclaim and sell

      I doubt the same people who are capable of setting one on fire and running away have the criminal contacts to be capable of getting into the car fencing business.

      There is no legal mechanism in place to “reclaim” these vehicles and force the owner to sell and redistribute to the poor, but I think you’d find widespread support here for something like that.

      So instead they get torched, to send a message. I suspect it’ll get worse in the near future and I wouldn’t recommend buying one today to anyone who values their personal safety.
