Woman in Stolen Car: I Thought They Would Just Send Me a Bill

The woman reportedly told officers she did not think the rental car agency would report the car stolen when she failed to return it on time.

A Stockbridge couple landed in jail after underestimating how seriously a rental car agency took the return date in the rental contract.

On Feb. 23, Gwinnett County Police stopped a 2012 Nissan Sentra driven by Dayvon Green, 31, of Stockbridge, near the intersection of Highway 316 and Harbins Road after a check of the tag indicated the vehicle had been stolen. Green and his passenger, Valerie Green, 34, also of Stockbridge, were immediately taken into custody.

The vehicle, which is owned by Avis, had been rented to Valerie Green and had not been returned on time. When questioned about the vehicle, Ms. Green reportedly said, "I knew it was due back, but I didn't think they would report it stolen. I thought they would just send me a bill."
