Does anybody know if the cops can do anything if somebody actully got into your car and lossened your oil filter so all your oil would leek out and your engine would blow up? Because that is what happened to me in the last 3 days. I know there is a group of the like 5 people that use to be my friends untill about 2 weeks ago, but im not sure if it was the whole group or just one of them that did. They did it because i broke up with my boyfriend and they were mad at me for it.
So if anybody has had something simaler happen to them or somebody they know let me know.
Uhm, file a police report? Get it well documented? See if you can get witnesses or someone to confess? and then sue them? it'd really be a civil matter
The police probably won't care. Two reasons: 1. Compared to murder, car theft, rapes, and other crimes, this isn't too high up on the importance list. 2. Unless you have good solid evidence, it would be your word against theirs, the types of cases police usually stay out of.
Reccomendation: File a claim with insurance, and see what your agent says, or get some other friends to kick the crud out of the guys who messed with you. Your pretty much on your own though. Good luck.

criminal damage to property? In Illinois it would be a class 4 felony punishable by up to $10,000 fine and 3 years in jail. First offender probably wouldn't do jail time though. I encourage you to file a police report and follow up with the prosecutor. Ideally, the prosecutor can order the defendant to pay restitution as a part of any plea agreement.

Here's a simple solution>tape razor blades to your oil filter. Even if they do happen to lose a finger what are they gonna do?sue you.
how did they get to your filter in the 1st place? they would have had to brake into the car, pop the hood, then undo the filter. you shure its not something that just happened by accident, or maby your local oil change place messed up?
file a police report just so that u have one, but unless you have a witness, nothing will come of this.

insurance and police wont care unless they broke into your car, because you should had had your doors locked
