My 20 yr old son and his 20yr old girlfriend made several copies of keys to a truck I don't drive and dont have it insured because I dont drive it I wanted to sell it. They were involved in a hit and run with some minor injuries a back problem for one victim. The police came to my house and towed my truck and wont give it back because it was involved in a crime. The multnomah Officer told me because my son had a key I can't report it as stolen and with the truck being in my name I will be sued and have liens put against my house. My son has been staying with me for about 3 weeks but who knows how long they have been coming and taking the truck. They bought a battery for it. Can I be held liable for this?

Also it is hard to claim it was stolen after the fact, I am not sure them having a key make a whole lot of difference. Now if you call and said it was stolen before they returned then you might have leg to stand on. To late for that.
It is time to get a lawyer otherwise you could be looking at other charges.
