I asked the San Diego Police Department about providing a sworn affidavit from me and one from the witness in lieu of the lost contract and they still refuse to take the police report without a copy of the original signed rental agreement. This is what they had to say on this...
"VC 10855 makes a breach of a vehicle rental (civil) contract a felony under certain circumstances. Because of this, many jurisdictions refuse to prosecute for this (once the suspect is in custody and the details are discovered). Our DA will follow through with prosecution, with the proper documentation. Because the premis of this vilation is the breach of contract, the contract is critical to the case. No contract, no crime is the short version of this."
