Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the response. The car pieces are the personal property
of Michelle Knapp who owned the car. From your description, it sounds like your
father did not ask permission from Michelle Knapp to keep the pieces.
It does not matter if he took them in broad daylight, or if a TV
camera crew was around. By picking up and keeping the car pieces without
permission from the owner, this is a clear case of theft.
