Maybe in the big cities. Usually, the first charge on a stolen credit card is for gas.
You can't buy big ticket items without ID, so no go on the electronics items unless you've stolen the wallet of someone who looks like you.
True story (hi Penske!) a guy with a stolen wallet tried to buy a TV with Mrs. Smith's credit card. When they asked for ID, all he had was Mrs. Smith's drivers license. He said it was his wife. They asked for his ID, he didn't have any. I think he got arrested.

"[O]n Thursday the president of the Dallas Police Association -- which represents Dallas police officers -- demanded an apology from T.O. and his publicist.
'The officers reacted because they were called to this location to do this job. Now they're being put under a microscope by some fancy little football person,' Senior Cpl. Glenn White said. 'Give me a break. Those officers are 10 times better than this man. ... We police officers don't go out to these calls and make stuff up.'"
From ESPN.

It's a function of sitting in traffic. And shifting 678 times before you get on the freeway is exhausting.

I understand why many people prefer automatic. The question was about whether the car is worth less. I hope not totally worthless. Any idea of the hit? |

I said yes. It's worth less. In LA, you're going to have a hard time selling anything that isn't an exotic sports car or economy car with a manual transmission. Frankly, if the car is more than 7 years old in that town it's probably time to set it on fire.
etbh: look a kbb.com and see what they say your car is worth and then discount it just a little more. Less if it's in excellent condition.
