Wtf
yohhhhpppp
Ok but was the truck owner running around frantically trying to save his own life, only to find out that his escape vehicle was gone?
Himera12
My god the spelling in this post..
Py0tr77
As soon as I got past the spelling I could puzzle it all together. I expected the reply to be a * post but it was far more darker
rogue00ff
Now watch some d*ck insurance adjuster NOT cover the clean-up of the truck. Wrong thing for the right reasons. Good on him!
onewomanriot
I'm more impressed that Taylor figured out who took the truck...
EF5Cyniclone
Taylor probably loaned the keys.
EGOT
He didn't actually. The guy just found them inside and rolled with it to save lives.
DevilPhoenix
RIght? That's what I'm trying to figure out
onewomanriot
And also the phone number!? Like I want to believe this story, but that is some serious, next level, girl googling your ass, detective work.
nicoleee45
I think this post is in reference to Taylor Winston a veteran in SD who borrowed a strangers truck to haul 20-30 people to the hospital!
amnevoiedecafe
Taylor is a hero to say the least. Good on you Taylor and the dude with the truck!!

The vehicle was commandeered not stolen

This was from when the shooter shot all those people at that concert. A lot of vehicles were ‘stolen’ to move victims like this

*stolen* sounds more like ex-girlfriend did not give truck keys back right away
Nize426
Yeah a bit more detail would have been good, but I guess most will understand the context. Took me a little on the longer side I think.

*whose truck, and I'd go with "commandeered", not stolen. Nevada law says it's not theft.

Was his truck stolen be for the shooting? Need more info.
SoundInLA
The company who makes this car should offer to replace it with a new 1 since I imagine the interior was destroyed and th incident was heroic
SoundInLA
I don't know how to post a photo in the comments but a dealership gifted him a new truck!! Good on you dealership!
LittleKnownOne
Avg car company would offer him Kelly Blue Book trade value and an air freshener ;p
Psychobabblejj
Fun fact, it's not legally theft if you have an honest and reasonable belief that the owner would consent to you taking it.
HexiHamaski
This falls under "do you want to be the judge who put away a hero?"
Flyndaran
In other words only if the owner actually says it was alright. We don't need a law to say it's not theft with no complainant.
Psychobabblejj
That's insufficient, what if the owner was an asshole and pressed charges?
Flyndaran
I don't like people stealing my property. OMG, you asshole!
Flyndaran
If cops can't legally do something, you probably can't either.
foxfire1112
This is for anything i guess
Psychobabblejj
Correct, it goes to the mens rea of the offence of theft. Honest belief in consent (which is much easier to prove if reasonable) is defence.

I figured out the context, but adding "Las Vegas" somewhere on this post might have been slightly beneficial.

I feel like there's some unsung heroes thing happening here...
buttpunch13
It's on the news
Guaranfuckinteed
Methinks there are a lot of unsung heroes. Thankfully, a lot.
gogetzome
Trying to save so many lives with this.. truely those moments make me not be able to close mouth in awe for a time. Just acts of true heroes
gogetzome
Deepest respect to all heroes of humanity out there!
HowToBeSuccessfulAsaSerialKiller
He isn't entirely unsung, I heard about him earlier. Former Marine stole a truck to use as an ambulance.
akom
I think maybe they were talking about the person who *could* be a douche canoe about his truck being commandeered, but isn't.
Pssstyeahyou
I thought I read earlier that he was shot in the neck and died, after saving those people.. No?
DosterIII
Please, tell me you're wrong
MisterTrashPanda
No he survived, thankfully

Just bring it back with gas, blood is no problem. Dollar store has bleach.

Don't read into the personal stories if you're sensitive. I cried at work, should have waited til I was home. Lots of heroes, and pain.

I know I am going to regret this but where are all of these personal stories. The news only cover a few here in Canada

I also remember watching it unfold, the Uber and Lyft drivers popped over shuttle for free and tons of food and water donations piling up.

Did he hot wire it? Asking for a friend

No, the keys were left in it.

Oh that's awesome

Stolen? That's called "tactically acquiring."
Morgoth117
"Borrowed with out permission" - Captain Jack Sparrow
OneBugIsFake
Dude was a Marine combat vet that acquired the truck.
triptolemus510
Yep.
shootsewvintage
Exactly.
IHaveSoManyOtherThingsIShouldBeDoingButWhatever
Super clear case of tactical acquisitions. 100% fair and legit.
stormegedendarklordofall
I think it might be grand theft auto. For any person, organization, or governmental body to go after him would be suicide.
Flyndaran
Still stealing, and in many places you could be shot for doing it. So be careful.
TheBestRussian
Well, I mean, in this particular instance, people were already being shot at, so...
Flyndaran
One man committing a crime nearby does not mean laws stop existing. If I saw you stealing my car, I could legally shoot you in some areas.
Flyndaran
I don't have a car or gun, but still if you plan on committing grand theft auto regardless of reasons, be careful.
CrypticRuin
Commandeering is the word you're looking for
toofastforluv
Naw... I like tactically acquiring better... it soun
shootsewvintage
I used the term with purpose, so, that's not the word I was looking for. But you're technically right so at least you have that.
WRXSora
And, as we all know technically correct is the best kind of correct.
Knilore
If it was a marine involved, then it's "tactically acquiring," us sailors "share" with other divisions/commands when logistics falls short.
shootsewvintage
Bingo. Someone knows.
Lezio
I'd be happy if someone took my truck for that. I'd have beer with the guy.
B99Reactions
You are happy with the idea now, probably not when it actually happened
TheRevolutionist
Right! Buy him a beer
Reilynn
I'll buy them a beer.
shiyal
I’d buy my a good bottle of whisky
shiyal
*him not my. I was tires.
shiyal
tired. dammit.
triptolemus510
If I have my stories matched up right, the guy who tactically acquired the truck was USMC.
chopper35
you’re correct. he was USMC. thank god they train marines to think clearly under fire.
Bobmonkey07
Commandeered. or maybe Strategically Took to Enhance Asset Lifespans...
donkeymoney

tboneallstar
Damned straight! Oorah!
EdgiestofEdges
I'm going to refer to things I take as "tactically acquiring" from now on.

My recruiter called my backing into parking spots "combat parking". I use that all the time now.
SweptCobra
Lol. It's so true tho. Unfortunately I now park my bike infront of my my car so no speedy escapes. Could do that on the bike now too
ImSorryChampIThinkIAteYourChocolateSquirrel
Thats an accurate description. He didnt steal anything.
Kougeru
Wrong. Technically and legally he did steal it.
Anonawesome
Idk why you're being downvoted. Even if stealing was the right thing to do here, it's still stealing. Just a word people.
ImSorryChampIThinkIAteYourChocolateSquirrel
Okay Mr/Ms Technical. Youre right. Feel better?
Anthroposapien
Sounds more like it was borrowed for a truly good purpose. "Stolen" is much more clickbait-y, so I'm assuming that's why it was used.
angrygardener
I prefer commandeered in this case
Raenon
Given the "emergency relief" context, I'd agree with you.
OshyuOshyu18
Yeah it was a former Marine and his girlfriend found the truck with the keys in it and transferred the wounded.
Cheesecakecrush
When your vehicle is missing, and the owner doesn't know where it was and no permission was given, it is technically stolen.
creepycatpms
The definition of stolen is taken w/o permission. It was returned though, and it was used to save about 2 dozen lives in the LV massacre.
travisflagg61411
Chaotic Good irl. I like it. We need more.
HuffleTuff98
take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it..Semantics
idonthaveinsurance
Requisition maybe?
wastewanderer
That usually implies that forms were filled out and someone brought it to you from some sort of warehouse, or depot.
alottabees
Why not say it was "liberated"? I like the sound of that.
RuneKatashima
Liberated also means not giving back though. Stolen is just more selfish.
alottabees
Liberated is still more fun, but I can see your point
foxfire1112
Im now imaging his driving the truck off a cliff into water, setting it free forever
LittleKnownOne
Something unlawfully taken from its rightful owner. Also, property obtained through stealing/larceny/theft.
Juicytoast
I feel like it was lent by the person's significant other. I would have gotten it properly washed before giving it back tho.
Juicytoast
And I don't mean like car wash. I mean like somewhere that specifically handles blood and hazmat clean up.
creepycatpms
Dude. You’re an idiot. This was in the Vegas massacre. Go away
Juicytoast
I understand that, I would have gladly used my truck to haul people to the hospital, if I were there on in another similar situation.
Juicytoast
Well maybe not gladly, but you get my point. What I was saying is, if one of those people had a blood transmitted disease, like HIV, I....
torpido
You're not wrong. Priorities, people! Jeez.
MistressLyda
The blood still needs to be cleaned out. The question is by who, and who pays? Does insurance cover these things?
TheBestRussian
If my vehicle helped save a couple dozen lives, I honestly would not mind cleaning it up after. I’d be sad about the car, but happy re:lives
Juicytoast
Insurance companies are assholes, I feel like the person who comendeered the truck is a kind enough person to pay for it.
