stolen truck
10/09/11 at 16:36:22

Here's the deal. I left my truck at a so called friends place and now when i want to retreave it the guy wont let me. He has gotten a title for it in his name without my consent and refuses to even talk to me. In fact the idiot hung up on me when I was trying to talk to him about it. I need that truck back asap and can't wait to go through a lengthy legal procedure.

The problem with that is I lost all the paperwork for the truck the last time I moved.

Re: stolen truck Reply #4 - 10/09/11 at 17:08:29 Id get copies of my registration from the state & you should be able to file for lost title. Then demand he show proof of purchase.. IF you sold it, whats it worth? If you had sold it, then that $$$ would have shown up in yhour life,, you woulda paid bills or deposited it,, use what ya have,

Take with you any paperwork (bill of sale, registration, etc.) you have already. If that doesn't work, when he comes to take the truck back, shoot him. Well, don't actually shoot him. Not right off, anyway.

there is a rule about maintaining a piece of property for abotu 7 years then it becomes yours. but I know in jersey that if you claim someone left a vehicle on your property they have to run a newpaper ad for 4 weeks and then do a bunch of stuff. so if he has not proof of that then he never should have gotten a title. unless he created insurance or registration papers in his name then sent them to DMV to claim a "lost" title

Here in Missouri, one can apply for a title for vehicles left on their property after so long. I don't remember the time limit. Missouri will make an attempt to contact the last registered owner and if no reply is received, issues a title to the person claiming it as abandoned on their property.

Have you been paying insurance on it? Taxes, tags, license?
Or do you have records of service, proof of prior insurance, invoice of sale when you bought it originally? Did you get a bank or car dealer loan when you bought it?

Any of these can help prove ownership, and you can go to the DMV and get the registration in your name, then claim the truck with the sheriff along.

We had to do that once for a client - her husband claimed the car was his so we helped her get the paperwork together, and had the sheriff meet her at the house where the car was. She got her car back; he got a restraining order served.

Yep, I bet there's a state law that says you can't store your truck on someone's property indefinitely. At some point it is considered "abandoned" and the property owner can apply for a title, which he did. But to pull that off while the title is in Yonuh's name and he was (presumably) paying registration on it.. and wasn't contacted.. that doesn't add up.

I like the idea of the surreptitious repo.. just don't get thrown in the clink for "stealing" your own truck.. Roll Eyes
