My question involves an incedent that occured in virginia. My friend borrowed car while i was asleep to go pick up some girls, without my permission. He brought them over and on his way taking them home he totalled my car. He came back and woke me up and explained the situation. I then rode the scene as my car was being towed away, i sat in the cop car and was breathilized, we'd all been drinking. I come back to the house with the cop and he talks to my friend and decides to only charge him with driving without a license and failure to stop at a stop sign. (No alcohol charges and he admitted to drinking) the cop said he didn't believe the wreck was alcohol related. And didn't charge him with grand theft auto because it was my buddy. Now a few days later he's been a real wise ass to me saying i want too much for the car when i'm going by 3 different car value sites and am rounding down. I have liability insurance and i'm worried he wont pay up or give me an equal replacement for the vehicle. Do i have any legal leverage here? Can i charge him with grand theft auto even though the cop chose not to? We're both below the age of 21 but neither of us are minors. He has a learners permit.
