- Third-Party Actions: If the person you rented for altered or sold it, you might need to prove your innocence.
Do you have any evidence or agreements with the person you rented it for?

Will witness statements be a reasonable proof I am innocent of embezzlement

Witness statements can help, but they may not be enough on their own. It would be beneficial to gather any other evidence that supports your claim.
Do you have any written communication (texts, emails) with the person you rented it for?

Witness statements can definitely support your case, but stronger evidence would be any written communication or agreements. Given your situation, seeking legal advice could be beneficial. Do you need more information on finding legal representation or preparing your defense?

Can I ask U-Haul for a copy of their security film from that date? The person I rented the U-Haul for went with me. He also grabbed the keys and drove the truck away with me sitting in the passenger seat.

Yes, you can request a copy of the security film from U-Haul. It might be helpful as evidence to show that you were not the one who drove the truck away.
Would you like more information on how to request this footage or any other assistance?
