When a parent passes away, it can be difficult for their children. But a parent leaving behind a brand-new car can cause even more trouble. In this case, the daughter was left with everything her father owned, including the car.

Now the daughter is left wondering if she should report the car stolen. It's a tough decision, but one that needs to be made to protect her property.
