In the event of car theft while there is a lien on the car, in the US at any rate, the lien holder requires that the borrower have insurance which will pay off at least the value of the lien in the event the car is stolen or destroyed. So the previous owner had insurance which paid it off.

If somebody lends you their car, though, and you refuse to give it back, you'd probably struggle to hold onto it, even though you originally obtained it with their consent. Viewed in retrospect, a Purge-style suspension of law would presumably mean that their consent for you to take the car was assumed, but not that they've waived their right to reclaim it.
That doesn't have the same legal problem, though, because the court would say that you were being dishonest when you agreed to borrow the car, as you did not intend to give it back. Failing that, there's always breach of contract. Neither of those would apply in this case. Funnily enough, the Purge seems to be a black spot in our current laws...
EDIT: I don't know how things work in the US, but in the UK, you need insurance to drive a car on the road, and nearly all insurance policies only cover specific, named drivers. So there's that.

It's quite plausible that a person might have borrowed the car intending to give it back, and then changed their mind for some reason. They may yet intend to give it back, but not until they see fit. They may even tend to give it back within an agreed time-frame, based on a verbal agreement with the lender, who since changed their mind. At any rate, dishonest intent would have to be proven to the court, and for the purpose of the analogy, we can assume that it isn't possible in this case, but none of these three scenarios would that give the lender a right to hold on to the car against the wishes of the owner, it would only prevent them from being prosecuted for theft.
The Purge isn't explicitly provided for by law, but in regards to property, it seems like it would essentially have to function as an assumption of consent on the part of the owner, and in the absence of a formal contact in place, the owners would generally have the right to withdraw consent at any time and for any reason.
Generally car insurance in the US is required to be held by the owner of record of the vehicle. But then the owner can allow anyone who is a legal driver to use it. I could, for example, lend my car to a neighbor or relative. And if there was an accident while they were driving it, my insurance would cover that.
But when a bank loans you money for the purchase of a car, they are in effect a co-owner. And the contract of the loan spells out certain conditions of the loan. Including that the borrower has to have insurance that at a minimum pays off the balance of the loan in the event of the car being lost to theft or damage. The state governments require certain minimum insurance as a condition for the car to be registered to legally operate on public roads. The loan contract requires more than that.

Why are a lot of Civ 4 mods so obsessed with quantity? One mod literally has 4 Granaries-by-other names. Why can't more be like RFC, who adds Embassies due to modification of a game mechanic? I suppose that hints at why RFC is an official scenario in the complete edition.
Does anyone know of a way to track down video games translated into foreign languages? I just had a thought that maybe there was something in Hebrew. (One Civ IV mod is being translated into 28 languages, sadly none of them are Hebrew.)

A quick Google search doesn't reveal much. Also Hebrew is unfortunately not one of the "filter by language" choices on Steam.
I did find this and this, whatever they're worth. It looks like you'd have more success searching by specific titles than just a general resource of Hebrew-language games.
I also found a Hebrew translation mod for Civ 4. Dunno how uptodate it is.

You could probably find "translated to another language" mods for some games
Thanks, I'll look at those.
Why do people keeping finding stuff in seconds that I bang my head against Google for hours for?
Not just any game. Something with a heavy emphasis on description (CKII or even Civ) would work, but I don't want Call of Battleduty 16 or whatever.

The games I know that has the largest amount of supported languages is the sims series. Not only is it really popular (some people play nothing else), but because of the gibberish speech, only text needs to be translated, which requires less effort than voice-acting. Allegedly this is the list of supported languages for Sims 3:
Hebrew not being on that list seems to me to indicate very few games at all are in hebrew.
It might have something to do that hebrew is written right to left, might be a bit of a problem to program

Some people just may have trouble thinking of the right keywords. Or they might have encountered a website set up by idiots. It's amazing what comes up when you type in a common keyword into the Walmart search bars.Because Research is clearly a cross-class skill for you?
Some people just like it
.Also adding more of the same (more buildings, more units, etc) is relatively easy in Civ4 (most people should be able to do that), whereas adding new mechanics is tough (requires coding skills).

Regarding @Commodore's question, if all laws are suspended then everything becomes res nullius and thus subject to appropriation, which in practice means you cannot be sued for trespass of property.
Is there a secret Purgerist movement in the U.S. of A.? What are you thinking of seizing?

Please put such comments behind spoiler tags. What has been seen cannot be unseen.
Are we allowed to make ‘Spanish Inquisition’ jokes?

What a shame some Twitter employee couldn't "accidentally" nuke his account and make it impossible to start another one.
And also The Battle For Wesnoth. A 10/10 game, and it has the ‘Ivrit’ language option.
Anyone here have any theories as to why my kidneys hurt after I take a shower? It doesn't happen every time, but sometimes after taking a shower my kidney area gets real sore for anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and then the pain subsides and feels fine the rest of the day. This has been happening for as far back as I can remember and no one (not even doctors) has ever been able to give me a definitive answer as to why this happens. I've even looked it up online and there aren't any solid answers there either.
Additional info: It only happens after showers, no other time. I also take really hot showers if that might have anything to do with it.
