Have you guys heard about the stolen 914 on Ebay? Purchased from Camp914 a year and a half ago and then stolen from the new owner. Ebay seller has been informed and is NOT stopping the auction. Claims he bought it legally! That actually sounds familiar. Orange and nice. This guy should seriously stop this auction before this plie of stromberg gets deeper...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Andy I concur. We are not hearing a key part of the story (from one side or the other). If the car was actually reported stolen and never recovered, there is no way a title would be re-issued and no way the current owner(s) would remain in possession. A possible scenario: Insurance company paid off and the car was subsequently recovered (by the towing company?) where it would be reported "recovered". Insurance company doesn't want it back, gives title (or similar document) to towing company. Towing company holds a lien sale and presto..."clean title". Another scenario: No insurance involved. Car is stolen and, upon recovery, notice is sent to address of last registered owner. Notice never reaches last registered owner (e.g. he moved). Towing company performs lien sale (which also requires noticing previous owner). No response from owner, lien sale creates "clean" title. I believe if the registered owner at the time of theft made a big enough stink (assuming he wasn't paid by the insurance carrier), he could get the car back. Unfortunately, it sounds like that individual is incommunicado... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
