The application of restorative justice in motor vehicle theft (curanmor) crimes in Indonesia still faces problems in the form of disharmony between police and prosecutorial policies. This condition is evident in the existence of motorcycle theft cases where requests for restorative justice are rejected during the investigation stage, but accepted during the prosecution stage, thus creating legal uncertainty and disparities in law enforcement. This study aims to analyze the regulation of restorative justice in motor vehicle theft crimes based on Indonesian criminal law and formulate an ideal regulatory formulation to achieve harmonious implementation. The study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach, which is analyzed qualitatively using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that restorative justice regulations have been accommodated in Law Number 1 of 2023, Law Number 20 of 2025, Police Regulation Number 8 of 2021, and Prosecutor's Regulation Number 15 of 2020, however, there are still differences in parameters, discretionary space, and institutional orientation that cause disharmony in implementation. Therefore, a regulatory framework is needed that integrates the authority of the Police and the Prosecutor's Office through uniform national standards, mandatory inter-agency coordination, and regulatory harmonization to ensure legal certainty, fairness, and benefit in the application of restorative justice to motor vehicle theft.
