I would just steal stuff. Like steal the CEO’s car and drive it to work the next day.
Edit: So by arguments against this logic. You could go to jail for a video of you capping someone the next day. After all it was legal that day but the next day at the very least you open yourself up to civil action for anything done. I’m sure they would come up with something and many folks would be armed to defend their shit instead of rampaging through the streets.
Yeah, you’d still be driving a car you don’t own without the permission of the owner regardless of whether or not the way you obtained it isn’t prosecutable.
Kidnapping and locking someone up wouldn’t be a crime on purge day either, but that wouldn’t automatically make it ok to still have them locked up the next day.
I would incur an entire year’s worth of taxes in one day. Capital gains? Purge day. Paychecks? Nah the company can invest that until purge day. Buying a new car? I’ll pay for it on purge day and you can deliver it in a week.
They might as well just do the purge on Cyber Monday.
Organized crime would have dedicated bureaucracy offices dedicated to illegally filing titles, deeds, tax returns, etc. Basically launder all their money in a single night.

I’d steal his company and show up as CEO the next day
Sorry the business closes before sunset so you can’t steal it!
I wonder how this works in the Purgiverse.
You can’t register a title during the purge (I assume), so the next day you’d be driving a car someone else owns and be forced to return it legally?
Oh shoot you are right, guess I have no choice but offing the CEO then.

If killing someone isn’t a crime the next day then stealing isn’t either.

Isn’t the whole deal that crime is legal for 24 hrs? So stealing the car is “legal” but “possession of a stolen car” the next day is not.
