A mother expressed regret after her daughter, age 40, stole a new Honda HR-V SUV from a parking lot, which contained a cat. The mother explained that her daughter has had psychiatric issues for nearly two years and has not been consistently taking her medication, requesting an opportunity for treatment and promising to improve her care.
The incident occurred on October 2 when the daughter was caught stealing the vehicle. The police apprehended her later that evening at an apartment parking lot. The car’s owner expressed relief over the return of both the car and the cat, emphasizing the importance of being vigilant and remarked on the inconsistency of the mother’s claims about her daughter’s mental health given her actions, which included removing the license plates.
After questioning, the mother apologized, asking society for forgiveness due to her daughter’s mental condition. She acknowledged the legal process regarding the incident and promised to care for her daughter better in the future. The daughter previously worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry and has struggled with stress and mental health issues during the pandemic. The mother noted her daughter’s aggressive behavior and denial of her mental illness, mentioning past psychiatric treatments.
Before the incident, there was a minor family dispute that escalated to the theft. The mother was unaware that her daughter would act out and mentioned they had previously had conflicts only among relatives. After the incident, the daughter expressed a desire to return home and resume her medication, to which the mother replied that treatment needed to be prioritized to prevent a relapse. She promised to provide better care and guidance moving forward.
