The study uses an empirical juridical approach. Data sources consist of secondary data and primary data. Secondary data is obtained through document studies, primary data is obtained through interviews. The collected data is analyzed qualitatively. Conclusion: 1) Penal handling of the crime of rental car embezzlement through penal is carried out by conducting investigations by the Padang Police Resort. 2) Non-penal efforts undertaken by the Padang City Police include outreach to car rental business owners regarding strict procedures for verifying tenant identities, implementing security standards such as installing GPS on vehicles, collaborating with communities, and conducting raids. 3) The obstacle faced is the difficulty in finding evidence because the vehicles have often changed hands, been pawned, or sold outside the jurisdiction of the Padang Police.
