Police Report Michigan: Fill & Download for Free

Having worked as a tow driver once upon a time, people here seem to be missing a critical point. We don't have a timeline. And that is kind of a big deal.So the car gets taken to the impound lot for whatever reason and sits. Operator attempts to make contact with the owner to let them know where, how much and when the gate can be opened for you to slip by and get possession. But if they can't find you, things start to happen behind the scenes.Lots only have X amount of space. And cars left sitting become abandoned after Y amount of time (I believe the threshold was 60 days). At that point, the owner of the impound yard can go to the DMV and make a claim on the vehicle though a lien. The yard then must make a public notice and attempt to contact the last rightful owner. This takes time, effort and money. And the old owner fail to do reach back, the ball goes back to the impound owner…Who can then take official possession after paying taxes and fees. They stop holding your car and become the owner because it's sitting abandoned on their property. You want it back, you need to find it and pay. You may have some form of legal recourse (one almost always does) but nothing in life is guaranteed.Start to finish it was about a 3 month turn around once the paperwork got started. And there is A LOT of paperwork. Several trips in person (the owner has to be the person claiming the property) to the DMV. It's a huge pain, that can end up getting far less than the fees for the said car would have gotten the yard. At least the owner I worked for hated doing so and made every attempt to do literally anything else to get rid of cars before hitting that point.So short version, if you found your car months after it got ‘lost' then someone else may well have bought and now owns your car. Meaning it isn't yours anymore. Regardless however you need to file a police report ASAP. Reach out to both the lot and your relative for pertinent information and contact a lawyer. If the value of the car does not exceed the cost of obtaining it consider this a life lesson and move on.As an edit, this answer pertains to legal institutions. It also assumes things in regard to the questioner (namely length of time the vehicle was in the impound yard). If your car is towed by an improper or sketchy yard, your best bet is a police report and prayer. If you wish to attempt legal proceedings, be prepared to enter murky dank waters. Even if you win, there's always a chance of the company going under, being re-brought and reformed and popping up down the road with you out what is owed. There's also no guarantee your car is even a car at this point.One more small edit. Towing: Know How to Get Your Vehicle Back and Challenge Unauthorized and Unreasonable Fees mind you these apply to the state of Michigan but about a quarter of the way down it says the yard may ask for proof of ownership. If you show up with a working set of keys, that does constitute ownership. That, or grand theft is occurring and your face is on camera with a paperwork trail. For those who have said the uard cant take possession of the vehicle, again, yes we can and in many instances have too.

Apparently so.I guess the lunatic is me.I got myself impounded, not quite committed, here they call it Chaptered.I spent the better part of the last two weeks locked in a hospital in a small room. The shower curtain was attached to the ceiling with Velcro. The sharp edges were all padded.I was given cut up pieces of Styrofoam coffee cups to use as a spoon; plastic utensils are dangerous apparently, the particularly determined have been known to swallow broken pieces. Suicide by intestinal perforation…A fun bit of irony: I used to work for the company that made the foam cups as an R&D engineer. We were trying to increase the recyclability of polystyrene foam. I never thought I would be using one of our cups to scoop up scrambled eggs. Maybe I should call my old boss, we’d have a good laugh.I had been swimming in the deep end with weights tied to my feet for too long trying to watch the birds fly by. I worried my friends and family. They sent the police.I was hauled in with a belly full of vodka and lorazepam.I wasn’t trying to hurt myself. I don’t think I was. I just got a puppy for fuck’s sake, I wouldn’t leave her to fend for herself. I just…I needed a break. I needed to escape somehow; this empty heartache, this isolation, the constant bad news that came with every phone call: “Hospice…”, “New cancer…”, “This will be the last year…”Three more people. Fuck you, Death. Fuck you in your stupid death hole.I vaguely remember talking to the police. They woke me from sleeping on the couch with the puppy. They asked leading questions and I gave flippant answers.“Do you ever think about suicide?”“Sure, but I also think about trees.”Police report: Admitted to thinking about suicide.“If you were to kill yourself, do you know how you would do it?”“I was thinking I might set myself on fire and jump off a cliff into the mouth of a lion, or, I don’t know, maybe shoot myself?”Police report: Intends to shoot himself.“Do you have any immediate plans to harm yourself?”“Absolutely not, my daily mantra is “You can always kill yourself tomorrow.””Police report: Plans to kill himself tomorrow.The police don’t have a sense of humor when it comes to this stuff and, well, they shouldn’t. Suicide is not funny, it is horrible. I can only find humor in my own death because I know it isn’t imminent. I know that when I am coherent, anyway. Making light of it keeps me sane.I guess not sane enough.The puppy spent some time with my parents in Michigan while I spent some time being mentally and physically poked and prodded. I got the chance to read a few books. Louise Erdrich: Wonderful. Dean Koontz: not recommended. We weren’t allowed to go outside but some cruel soul stocked half of the book cart with Audubon guides.Also, I slept. So much sleep. They like to keep the mental ward sedated and decaffeinated. My first taste of the hospital decaf made me suddenly realize how one could become desperate enough to attempt suicide by intestinal perforation. Thankfully I was in a “Harm-safe” room…Note: put an engineer in a room and call it “harm-safe” and within 15 minutes he will have found at least 10 ways that one could harm themselves, most of them more viable than eating plastic forks. You guys should hire me.They eventually deemed me “low-risk” and gave me a less harm-safe room in a hall all by myself. The nurses were all young and friendly. They started to assign me student nurses, I think because I was the least volatile patient there. I asked one if she was Nurse Ratched as she gave me an injection, I remember the look of confusion as my vision faded. I didn’t get a chance to explain the joke.The doctor deemed me fit for release after a few days but there was a delay with the county. Before I could be released there had to be a hearing. While they scheduled and then rescheduled the hearing my doctor checked on me daily and asked me how I was feeling. I asked him if he had read Kafka, he hadn’t.Now I am free but not free. I have no plans for myself but they have plans for me. I am forcefully medicated by law, have to check in daily, and will be starting therapy tomorrow. Maybe it is for the best.The puppy seemed to double in size while she was away. I sorely regret missing that growth but I am happy to have her back. My step-mom wanted to keep her.I am worried about these drugs. I feel fragmented. I don’t want to lose myself. They say they’ll help to separate my heart from my mind. I don’t know if I want that. They say I’ll feel better. I don’t know if I want that either.I guess I can’t really say that I have feared for my life but they told me that I should. They told me not to trust myself. They told me I have been skirting a hole.I didn’t admit to them that I already knew it.

In June this year (2017), Dr Linda Lim, a Professor of Strategy at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, delivered a keynote address at her Alma mater, Methodist Girls School in Singapore.5 Foreign Talents explain why they cannot stay in Singapore indefinitely but yet have job securityAt Ross in Michigan, she teaches MBA courses and executive education sessions on world economy and Asian businesses.During her talk in Singapore, she advised that Singaporeans must be brave enough to challenge themselves and all orthodoxies which govern Singaporeans' lives and work, in order to spur the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship that Singapore needs.She cited five of her former MBA students who had been in Singapore for fairly long periods working as "foreign talents" in Singapore:1. "Singaporeans all think alike, that’s why we need to hire foreigners, and why we expats have job security." - an American who worked in a senior position in two global banks.2. An Indonesian who used to study in Singapore before going to Michigan, found Singaporeans "myopic", "monotonic" and "monochromatic" compared with his home, which he acknowledged is chaotic but also colorful, exciting, stimulating—and much more entrepreneurial.3. "I always knew that I couldn’t stay in Singapore for the long term. Had I stayed any longer I would have become very inflexible and unable to adapt to other locations.” - an Indian national who worked in Singapore for 12 years, and is now a McKinsey consultant in Chicago.4. Another Indian student of Dr Lim used the word "claustrophobic".5. "Singaporeans have a predominantly strict attitude to life, marked by clear authority structures and distinct social status lines... Singapore government managed so well that the local people are very lawful, strict and structural. Sometimes, I needed a breath though." - a PRC who worked in Singapore as a semiconductor engineer before leaving for Silicon Valley.We are better and stronger than SingaporeansThen, there are some expats who think that they are "better and stronger" than Singaporeans.In 2015, a Filipino nurse, Ello Ed Mundsel Bello, made postings on social media boasting that Filipinos are "better and stronger" than Singaporeans.Why Filipino nurse had to be sackedHis posting went viral and he later filed a police report saying that his social media account was hacked. Subsequent police investigation found that it was him who had made the postings and that he had lied in the police report. He was charged accordingly. The hospital he was working in also sacked him.Sad as it may sound, but still, "monotonic", "rigid" and "weak" Singaporeans like Dr Lim is now teaching MBA courses to some of these foreign expats.
