These fukwads need to get 20 years in prison. You and I would get more than these guys did for doing exactly the same thing. Everyone knows they got at least 20x more money than they pled to. Only ONE count??? Spare me.......
 
Didn't Josh say he got some weird call about bringing his car to a shop after it was stolen? I wonder if he kept that number? he might be able to run it by the FBI for confirmation.

Yes. From what I remember reading, he got referred to a certain shop. When they found out he was insured, more than just stereo and wheels were missing once he showed up.

The collision shops would be the victims in this scenario.
Standard pay to play shakedown.
Someone more cynical might conclude that the officers were involved with the vehicle thefts.
 
The shops certainly are not victims in this scenario, they were all most definitely flooded with work that shouldn't have been there in the first place. The owners are the victim and their insurance companies after the damages see fluffed to cover their "over head" to get the car there.
