No. And it would not be advisable for anyone to attempt such action even though they are a completely innocent party.
ya its your car, your name is on the title and someone has taken it from you....i think i defined a stolen vehicle right there
You can report it stolen!
Why are you getting rid of a car to which you do not have the title, is it stolen?
Well you have to have proof of insurance and if you do then you can show the officer that and it goes on from there.
The first thing you need to do is call your local police department and give them the vin and ask them if the vehicle is stolen. You dont want to get caught trying to get a title for a stolen vehicle. Why would someone just give a car away when they can take it to a salvage yard and get a couple hundred bucks for it.
No they can not!
A salvage title can be caused by a car having been damaged in a previous wreck also if a car has been previously stolen and the owner was already given a replacement before the car was found then the stolen car may receive a salvage title
I would not buy or pay for a car form anyone who did not have title to the car. The car may have been stolen.
only if the car was damaged to where it was declared totalled. Then you need to get a Salvage title and have the car inspected.
If a car is being sold way to cheap I am always suspicious. I always do a title and lien search on any car I buy and that will show who the title is registered to and will cause a great deal of commotion if it is stolen. I always ask for photo ID when buying a car to insure the car and the title and the owner all match.
Theft is not the same as accidents. If you drive a car, whether it is in your name or someone else's name, and you have an accident, then your own insurance is applicable, but if someone else's car is stolen, that doesn't seem to involve you. Presumably you were not in the car when it was stolen, right? What involvement do you have?
No. What if it turns out to be stolen?
