I read somewhere so consider it rumor but the move to Hungary was to be close to the wife's aging Mom.I wondered this, too. I just don't think he abandoned his family to start a new life. Can't make that connection in my head for some reason. I'm locked on suicide or car accident. I do hope someday his family (and we) have an answer --- especially, his family. Very anxious for an ID on the body in Malibu.

I love the questions we ask all around town, for the sake of sleuthing! We are a dedicated bunch. And I love it.So I just rented a car from Enterprise as I wrecked my jeep and asked about gps. The only cars that have gps are the exotics. Also, they probably think now I have no intentions of returning my rental.

ETA I don't think it was ever answered on whether they would report the car as stolen.

Thanks for the list.Lol Maybe you'll have better luck with answers once you return it.
Ask them how they locate vehicles that are stolen and or not returned.
Do they have someone who works for them look in parking garages at airports for vehicles rented and not returned?
Do they file police reports on non-returned vehicles?
Do they continue billing the credit card on file for the car rental?
Thanks for the list. [emoji4] I'm doubtful they will have that info but I will ask.

In a previous life, I worked in the rental car industry, given it was ages ago, and a two different airports in different states than CA, and a different Rental Car Agency, so perhaps the Company’s answers will be different than those below, but from my experience...
QUESTION 1:
Do they have someone who works for them look in parking garages at airports for vehicles rented and not returned?
•••No, not typically; however, that would be a call made by the Branch Mgr...based on how much staff he has on-site & how busy they are, etc....usually, when a vehicle is ‘found’ having been left in airport parking (short or long term), it is because airport security has spotted the vehicle, and then contacted the rental car company directly to tell them one of their vehicles was found & where. The airport has its own policies about how long a vehicle can just sit there in short or long term parking before they themselves report it as an abandoned vehicle and have it towed off sight..As far as Rental Agency, depending upon the Branch Mgr, the Rental Agency might call a direct contact in airport security and ask them to keep an eye out for that specific vehicle. Airport security (I believe, but don’t hold me to it) tracks which vehicles are on their lots & for how long, and after X/? Amount of time is when they report them to Rental Car Agencies or the Police as an abandoned vehicle, or have them towed away..I think to the City Impound lot, but depends where they are located•••
QUESTION 2:
Do they file police reports on non-returned vehicles?
•••Yes, typically, “when” is what depends upon the On-site Branch Manager, along with whatever their own Corporate Policy dictates, I believe it was 30-60 days post rental return date back in the day. Obviously, the Rental Car Agency attempts to contact the Renter through whatever information he/she has provide 1st before ever filing any legal claims for theft, or loss. You would be surprised at how many people exceed the return date & then pop up and return the car (& get charged an outrageous amount for the rental, usually corporate rentals, but there are some unusual people who will do that privately, too..but that was back before leasing autos became a thing)•••
QUESTION 3:
Do they continue billing the credit card on file for the car rental?
•••Complicated=The charges continue to accrue as it is an open rental contract. At the point the Mgr decides, depending upon corporate policy, to file a police report, for theft. The rental Agreement, Customer Information, C/C info., etc, all gets forwarded to that Rental Agency’s Corporate ‘Subrogation Dept’, which are responsible for recouping costs for the Rental Car Company. Typically, filing whatever paperwork necessary, such as legal documents outside of the initial claim of theft, filing a loss claim against someone’s c/c company for reimbursement and/or that Renter’s Auto Insurance Co, or like going to civil or criminal court and a filing claim for the vehicle cost, etc..whatever needs filing to recoup the loss.•••
Ok, so the above applies if the Rental Agreement length hits the trigger point (30-60 days post scheduled return date) based on that particular company’s policy’s & procedures. Otherwise, the cost for the rental car just keeps on accruing, until the vehicle is returned. If someone brings the vehicle back, the rental is just processed like any other return, with whatever amount being processed against the Customer’s c/c.
I read in a different case where the missing person’s family was waiting for the rental car company to file a theft loss claim, in order for local police to be able to then turn around, and open a missing person investigation, and to be able to do whatever records searches, etc. that they needed to do. So, in this case, if the family were able to contact the Rental Agency’s Branch Mgr or District Mgr directly, then they might be able to get the ball rolling quicker than that Agency’s typical Corp Policy and internal wait times dictate.
Again, the above is how things were handled when I was in the industry ages ago, so it may differ from how how agencies handle things today.
I hope he is soon found safe & healthy.
