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.
