    I am facing a big dilemma and I don’t know what to do! My ex boyfriend was incarcerated for six months and was recently released about a month ago. The whole time he was locked up, my car that he was driving was missing. Everytime I asked him about it, he told me it was broke down and at his friend’s house. Well, he was released and I didn’t hear nor see him. Exactly one week after his release, I saw him a gas station in my car! Nothing was wrong with the car! When he spotted me, he bailed. I went to the police and filed a stolen vehicle report. This past Saturday, he was apprehended and my car was recovered. The car is fine with no problems. I told the police I wanted to press charges and so they did. Now he is worrying me trying to get me to drop the charges and which I could since I have my vehicle back. But I honestly feel like he should pay for keeping my vehicle from me for all this time. I don’t think the car was ever broken. I believe his friend was driving it and my ex wanted to keep the vehicle for himself. I believe he didnt have any intentions on returning me my vehicle and I am so mad that he allowed someone else to drive it. My mind and my heart are telling me that the right thing to do is to have him pay for what he did. You do the crime, you do the time! But some sense of humanity is like, well you have the car back, just let the issue go! What’s your opinion?

    I say press the charges. He lied to you and let someone else drive around in your stolen vehicle. If 6 months of incarceration hasn’t shown him that there are consequences to his actions, then he needs to be taught that lesson again.

    Your instincts are correct. Allow the police to handle the crime and don’t allow your ex-con ex-boyfriend to worry you into dropping the charges. [b]Dotcomm3[/b] is right, and I’d like to add that if you don’t allow the police to handle this situation, based on your ex-boyfriend’s criminal record, and common sense, he’s going to continue to take advantage of innocent people like yourself. By pressing charges you’re doing your part in stopping the cycle of crime your ex seems intent on pursuing.
