My brother's car was stolen yesterday at 10AM... The guy who stole it told the cops he dropped it off at the park- it wasn't there... And this guy has 47 criminal charges.We called around and finally found that the crusher sold it to a man for $300... We're pretty sure who this guy is, but don't want to jump to conclusions.Problem is, the crusher didn't ask for I.D... And didn't make the guy sign for it. So we have no proof that it was that certain guy.Isn't it illegal for a place like that to buy a car that way?We found the car, and the guy would only let us have it if we wrote an I.O.U for the $300... He said if we didn't he'd crush it today... So now we have the keys and the title back.My mother and brother are at the police station right now, but nobody wants to do anything... The cops want us to just pay the crusher the $300 and forget this ever happened... We're poor! We can't afford to just throw away that money, we don't even have it! Opinions? Facts? What to do's?
This is confusing. How did the police know who stole the car? I can't understand why the police want your brother to pay for the car - did he have a title? Post an update, I want to see how this turns out.
Now wait basically a minute. You went to the financial corporation together with her and witnessed her paying off the own loan. How might desire to she (or extra beneficial yet, why might she) pay off a private loan on a automobile she stole. That is senseless. What did the own loan officer say to you in spite of everything that happened? they could have counseled you that the identify will come directly to you in the mail and that it would take a week to 10 days to technique. The DMV is right, you are able to not sign up the motor vehicle with out the identify however the identify comes from the financial corporation directly to the shopper while a private loan is in touch. The Carfax rfile is beside the point. How long have you ever been waiting? you have a notarized bill of sale. If it is been longer than a month i might touch the guy on the financial corporation and the agency.
After reading your story I am confused did the crusher sell or buy the car. You make it sound like he sold it for 300 bucks? Report the car stolen, it is grand theft auto, if the police do not go and get it, make a citizens arrest and bring the guy to the station, call all the local tv and radio and newspapers and rant about how the cops are crooks in cahoots with the crusher. Hell I would storm the mayors office and demand help. If the crusher guy crushed my car, I would toss him in the machine and crush him
By law, since the person sold him the vehicle, a title should have been required to provide a title. Was a title provided? If so, did the guy fraudulently sign off on the title as your brother? Nothing states that an ID is required when selling a vehicle, but a title is. EDIT: Then yes, it was perfectly legal since a title was provided. Again, ID is NOT required. Sorry, to sound mean about your brother, but that is pretty damn stupid to keep the title in the vehicle!
The crusher bought the car illegally. Did he get ID for the sale? He blackmailed (and fraudulently) you into signing paperwork to get the car back. Contact the state automotive board about the wrecker, contact the FBI about your local police trying to cover for the wrecker.
