I can believe that Wal-Mart gave her car keys to someone they should not have, and certainly they should take responsibility if they did. I'm sorry if it happened, but the OP is going about this all wrong.

My advice to you, Martha: Get a lawyer and stop posting about it on public forums. Stop protesting in front of the store. That's not going to help.

What also makes me raise my eyebrows is the "having to move". I can see buying a new car, but a new house? Change the locks. Simple.

I wouldn't put too much stock in that Houston Chronicle article that was linked here, either. That was more an editorial piece than a straightforward news article, with the writer giving his opinion of the situation. It clearly wasn't an objective account.

Unfortunately, I don't think we have the full story yet. I'd be curious if anyone can find an actual police report or something like that.
