Secondly, they can't rent a car because technically it would be taking a car for someone who doesn't exist and paid with money that doesn't exist in a town noone knows exists.

Like it or not, Emma and David are the law enforcement of SB. Emma and David can go after Cruella and Ursula because they went to a shop and something went reported missing as they left the shop. David took the staff from Bo Peep and tried to find a missing person. If he returned it? We won't know, but I'm sure she has it back because it's not like he said he was taking it forever. Plus, it was a weapon that Bo Peep used for extortion, which is a crime.

So the passage of time is a good excuse for Emma to keep a stolen car? She couldn't have turned it over to the Portland Police upon leaving prison. . . which would have been the morally right thing to do?  She had over a decade to do the right thing, but apparently, she was too selfish and too lazy to do it. And David was arrogant enough to believe that he had the right to take Bo Peep's staff without her permission. I wonder. . . would he have done the same with someone like Archie or Belle? Or would he have avoided doing something like this, because they're close friends?

I guess this show and many fans are going to keep making excuses for Emma and her immediate family until it ends. And now that Regina is part of the family circle, they're going to be making excuses for her.
