Car stolen? Now what?

[twinkse30]

So I've own my e36 for about 3 months,yesterday my temp tag was expired so I went to go get plates for it. They told that car was reported stolen and now I can't get plates for it nor drive!
I called the number they gave me to call the state DMV? They said that car is roperted stolen and that there will b an officer calling me in the next few days...
Just wondering has anyone had a problem before? If so what can I do about it? I mean I didnt steel the car! It's under my name so idk what to do any help would be great

I posted here just because theres a bigger and more active community here than BF..

That sucks,who did you buy it from and did you get a title?

That's interesting. If anything the cops with probably confiscate the car & leave u with nothing, but a sorry

I always run VIN's via the local PD before paying for a car, you never know...

I got the car from some guy of cl,got a bill of sale and tittle. The day after buying I went to DMV and got the tittle under my name,payed taxes and got a temp for it all under my name

They probably will,they told my cousin the same thing on his car. He took it for "inspection" they took it away never have it back:/

Yikes... that must not have been cheap.

If you hold the title and bill of sale, then I don't see how the car could have been reported stolen by anyone but you.

Wow that's sucky.
Find the P.O immediately, and let him know that you want to be his Sledgehammer, why dont you call his name.

if you already got the title under your name, i don't see the problem. if the PO stole it and sold it to you then it should pop up when you transfer it to your name. there must have been a mistake.

there is a chance that the car was previously stolen and recovered, but the police department never took it off the hot sheet... my buddy was driving his parents linclon towncar that had been stolen a couple years back and we got popped because the reg came back stolen.. so it could just be that

I would like to how this turns out. Keep us posted OP.

yep, there should't be a problem at all if you have a legitimate title in your name from the DMV. By law, that is your car, period.
