Default Wife Does $4,000 Worth of Damage to Husband’s Corvette



One wrong does not make a right, especially if the wrong involves taking out your frustration on your husband's treasured Corvette.

I 100% blame him. If he wants to be that stupid to have a wife then deal with the recourse!

If you pray for rain then be prepared to deal with the mud.

And, if the wife was on title, or, they live in a community property state, like California, she can't be changed with vandalism..ie you can't be charged with vandalizing your own property. That just adds insult to injury.

I don't think I've ever seen a more poorly written article than that.

This is inaccurate. Domestic violence related Destruction of property exceeding a certain value is a felony in CA and many other community property states.

In WA, where I live, it's a class B felony with a potential sentence of up to 5 years imprisonment, fines, restitution, and because it is related to DV, also requires classes, anger management, etc. It is considered a serious crime, equivalent to assault 2.

Further, the party seeking restitution will be the insurer, not the insured. After the wife goes through the criminal ringer, she'll likely face civil litigation unless acceptable restitution is granted by the criminal court.

To deal with drivel overload, do what some of us have done:

Look at the title, look at probable content, see if you can guess the editor.

I have improved my hit rate considerably.

isn't the saying 2 wrongs don't make a right. One crazy lady for sure. No one but a crazy person does that to someone.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." As true today as it was when it was first spoken.

My wife threatened to damage my corvette once during one of her jealousy fits (after she wrecked the living room). I called the cops and they took her to a mental help place.

Thankfully it hasn't happened since. Threatening to call the cops always seems to settle her down now

Give her the car and buy yourself a new Z06. Hire the law firm of "Vitto, Bubba and Raul" to litigate the divorce.
