Not sure what in my comment is deserving of the hostility but anyway. Nor given the way my comment is phrased, do I think I’m trying to pass myself off as an expert. Just very doubtful of the implication that this guy is going to walk out without a charge.

The modification is usually just that the car shuts off in less than a minute

Which as I suggested, allows for the intent to be demonstrated. My point was a fake car would be pointless, so the point of “it’s still a real car” falls flat. (Edit: also joyriding is still a crime. Hardly funsies)

In general the value of the object determines misdemeanor/felony. Which I’m assuming you might not know, is a huge difference.

Which I agree means he’s not likely to get a full felony charge, but since he broke rule 1 of interacting with the police and admitted to thinking they had value in a statement (allegedly). He could still be facing at least attempted criminal mischief for vandalism (I think). Which isn’t as bad but still potentially a felony.

“When asked how much he believes the camera costs to replace, he stated approximately $1,000-$5,000 proving that Meyer knew it was an expensive real piece of equipment and not a fake replica,” the police report states.

Though the police wording is borderline nonsensical.

Crimes under the felony threshold should be charged as misdemeanor equivalents…

Cops never do that, for reasons you alluded to in your top comment, to deter others from doing it and hoping something sticks. My main point was claiming the had he’s unlikely to be charged is a bit of a stretch.

That doesn’t really seem solid to me. It could be they’re real cars so they can be started/take off, demonstrating the intent. It’s seems like way more effort to make a fake prop car because you still have to get it to the trap area and pass it off right? I doubt much of the charge for car theft has to do with value. For grand theft auto you need to prove they intended to actually steal the car otherwise it’s just joyriding.

At the very least it’d seem like they’d still be up for vandalism/destruction of property, assuming there aren’t more serious charges for damaging security/surveillance equipment.

Neat! All of this is making me sad about the current state of the franchise because I’m now wanting play through the first 3 again.

I thought it could go either way, like single installation or the entire array but no idea. They did fire the entire array and then reseeded life prior to the events of the first game from my understanding.

1. Probably not enough traffic or interest for one but you’re free to make one if you like. I wouldn’t mind having a comm for it.
2. This is covered by your rent/strata fees. Put it to them in an email that multiple machines have a notable foul odour and require sanitising, filter clearing and general maintenance. If you’re renting and the property manager doesn’t action your request, email them 1-2 two more times before escalating it to the relevant government body. Here we can even get electricians/plumbing done and have the bill reimbursed by the property manager/owner if they take too long.
3. Personally, don’t increase your labour/expenses to subsidise things other people are responsible for. If you’re getting this because of issue 2, get the property manager to sort it, it’s literally why you pay rent/strata fees. (See end).
4. No idea here so have a lame “wool wash?”

Landlords must:

• Maintain the tenant’s home in a good state of repair and fit for habitation and at the landlord’s expense comply with health, safety, housing and maintenance standards.

Canada seems similar to Aus in so far as there should some decent government resources to find your rights and obligations as a tenant and how to escalate an issue should you get an arsehole property manager that doesn’t do their job.
