PA Grand Theft Auto

Third Degree Felony

4/13/20261 min read

When I was forced to fight the theft of my car on my own, I would just shake my head at the over-bloated laws. Then I found PA Auto Theft laws, written in plain English; if you possess another person's vehicle without permission or a court order, then it's a Third Degree Felony. It does not matter if the vehicle is worth 1K or 50K.

As a side note, MPD does not qualify for Act 120 while being a Felon. For those late to the party, let's review.

  • It was agreed that I would remove my Mini from my driveway because Officer 86 thought I was blocking the sidewalk, even though there was no sidewalk.

  • I sent the Mayor a letter requesting more time because of my handicap. Chief DiVirgilio never notified me that my requested extension was denied. When I questioned him on the silence, it was explained to me that communication is not part of the MPD job description.

  • My Mini was ripped off its jack stands and destroyed while I was actively in court, and no one said a word to me or the judge. I believe they unknowingly implicated the Honorable Edward Tarentelli's court in a felony.

  • The location of my Mini and who physically stole my car was never disclosed by MPD or Northern Keystone Towing.

  • I never received an itemized bill on company letterhead, just a scribbled bill demanding cash. I told the owner to stick the bill up his ass, as I wasn't paying storage for my stolen Mini.

  • Everyone then disappeared and refused to communicate; this included the MPD. When I discovered my Mini in the McAdoo Halloween Parade, that was the first time I had heard of my car in a year. I had no idea where it was.
