Auto-Shop Stealing Car Tires

[Talint]

Po-pos came and said they couldn't actually file a report because this was a civil matter (even though they actually stole our stuff).
But one of the cops also owned a Merc so he subtly supported us and told us to take the case to court and that they could vouch for us.

...how is this a civil matter? Last time I checked, theft is a crime.

This, sounds like the cops are dicking you around. You even have them admitting to the theft. I think this would be classified as larceny? Sounds like you might have a bigger story if the cops are maybe purposely misclassified it as a civil matter rather than theft. I could be wrong though just going based on what I'm learning in my fraud examination class and what I retained in my business law <_<

Also I'm pretty sure if a cop testified for you the defendant's lawyer would claim it as heresay and his testimony would be disregarded. (At least that's what a youtube video told me)

Hearsay isn't an issue. Before we actually called 911, we called 311(Non-Emergency Number) and they also told us that it was a civil matter. I guess in Texas, "crimes" are less aptly defined.

Also, is it allowed for a company to claim business in Nevada when their only shop is in Texas?
How do you report a company to the Better Business Bureau?

No question about it, file a police report ASAP so detectives can investigate.

Call your local news team. Give them so nice negative exposure on the 6'oclock news.

Yes, a lot of companies incorporate in states where it's cheaper, my stepfather incorporated in Delaware and runs his business in Illinois.

You're not rich, expecting protection under the law is silly.

but he drives a mercedes bro


edit: isladar what type of business does your step father run? ( I was gonna ask the name of it but then I realized that's probably too personal to give away. I lives in Chicago and go to school in Peoria. Does he has any accounting or internal auditing internship opportunities? Yea I know I'm desperate, I has a decent resume though <_<)

[isladar]

It is a used book business in the western suburbs and we have two paid employees outside of my stepfather and mother (who is the accountant). It's a very, very small business, so unfortunately there's no such availability.

Was worth a shot I guess. Thanks a lot for the reply, really appreciate it.

Are you interested in accounting internships at large companies? I know high-level people in accounting at United Airlines and the Chicago Bears if this is something you are interested in. I can check to see if summer internship positions have been filled yet.

Edit: Err, nevermind. They've already filled their openings like a month ago.
