Okay so, a few years ago my car was stolen and totaled. My dad parked it at a body shop with the keys in it and a kid who was high on drugs took it for a joy ride and later a high speed police chase, which resulted in him smashing it into a traffic light pole at about 80 mph. He wasn't wearing his seat belt and was ejected - but lived. Which is a miracle.
Anyway at the time, my car was still registered to my parents, so my dad was the one who got the phone call in the middle of the night.
Fast forward to the present day - just the other day, my parents got an automated call that stated that a criminal who'd committed an offense against them had recently been released from jail, and if they wanted to always be notified of his whereabouts, they could call xxx number and register.
So yeah, basically, the kid who stole my car apparently went to jail for a while and now he's out. My mom seems to think that I should register on this notification system so I'll always be able to know where the kid is. I, on the other hand, don't really care where the kid is. It was a pretty random crime; he wasn't out to target me and he's not out there looking for me anyway.
I am 99 percent sure I will just ignore this registry thing but what would you do? Ugh my mom is so nuts. She is just adamant about me doing something about it, lol.
