[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 706154, member: 1233"] Please know that your son does NOT have to claim the drugs are yours and that you are the one dealing the drugs to have your property seized. If your son is dealing drugs from your property the authorities can seize the property. This includes your home and vehicles. I know people it happened to. The property was used 'in furtherance of the crime' so it was forfeit. This means it was used to store the drugs until they were sold, and the drugs were sold on the property, and even though the owners didn't have a clue, they still lost everything. THIS is another reason you don't let your drug abusing child use your vehicles. If they sell even a small amount to a friend, and get caught, you can lose your vehicle. Not every jurisdiction enforces this, but some will enforce it for sharing a joint. Some will go after your home for selling a few ounces of weed, others won't go after your home for selling kilos of harder drugs. It all depends on where you are and who the detectives and DA's are. But it can and DOES happen. If the risk of what your child might do to someone else isn't enough, the risk of losing the vehicle should be enough to help you tell the substance abuser that he just cannot use your vehicle. by the way, you still have to make whatever payments on the car that are left if you still owe money on it. Having it seized by the police doesn't change a thing in your payment schedule. [/QUOTE]
