worst : WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN EXPOSED TO UNETHICAL SITUATIONS? [+] serious ballot by jappy ACTIVE Fri Aug 03, 07 - Wed Apr 28, 10 Let's be a little more specific with this one though. I belong to a forum that discusses the performance badged cars of the Dodge/Chrysler line up. I don't do much there in terms of administrative activity but I do operate the thread that is specific to the commemorative edition version of one specific car. A couple of days ago someone who owns one of the 200 cars shows up and starts a thread, basically this is what he says: "parting out 2005 commemorative edition with 40000 miles. engine tranny seats rims anything you want must be local in rhode island u can take the car and do whatever you want with it, i just need the shell back for the repo man lol call brett xxx-xxx-xxxx leave a message for brett" At first I thought this was due to an accident, but then realized that no, he was seriously parting out a rare car simply because he could no longer pay for it. At the very least it's unethical, if it's not illegal it's got to be close. At that point I saved the information with screen shots and also started a thread letting this guy know that I was going to report him, with his VIN number off his car, his phone number, and his first name, all the info that I had, to the State Police Auto Insurance Fraud division, just in case he tries to report the car stolen. Well, all hell has broken loose, so much so that the site, with 50,000+ members, is shut down right now, basically about 2/3 of the people there are supportive of my actions and 1/3 think I am being overbearing, not minding my own business, or they have worse things to say to me. My point is this: It's one thing to do something this stupid, but when you bring it out onto a forum on which I spend a lot of time, and you promote it as though it's humorous, then you better believe I'm going to go after you. If he's received repossession papers, that is notice that the bank now considers itself the lone owner of the car and any actions that lower the value of the vehicle at that point are criminal, especially when those actions are in response to the notice of repossession itself. All that's come of it is that the Rhode Island State Police have started a case file and will watch that VIN number, and if it's not reported stolen or vandalized (classic insurance fraud) then there isn't much they can do anyway, unless the finance company presses charges. Either way it irks me when people act like it's not anyone's business when someone is doing something like this. What are your thoughts on this particular situation? You did the right thing, what he is doing isn't right. You did the wrong thing, it's none of your business. Ballot #116689 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
