Years ago, I was pulled over while driving a rental car that had been reported stolen by an earlier renter a few weeks prior. I'm certainly glad that the officers in Atlanta approached the situation professionally and without any cuffs involved.

Was it a Hertz car, by any chance? Because I believe they are currently being sued for doing that thousands of times.

No. And the rental agency seemed pretty blameless in the whole situation. A previous renter had reported the car stolen, but then found the car not long after. It turns out that anyone can report a car stolen, but only the owner can report it un-stolen, and I'm guessing the previous renter somehow forgot to mention the whole affair to the rental agency.

The rental agency ended up giving me a free rental and a credit for another free day or something on a future rental.
