My stolen car

[M-technik-3]

Are we digging up the old my M3 was stolen out of my garage again.

Threads like these so fall to deliver and grow old way to fast.

[iamsam]

this thread does not deliver. OP, why don't you answer some questions on this thread? Tell us the whole story, maybe?

^ if there is 1 key that operates doors and ignition, a locksmith can feel the cylinder and cut a key in about 30 minutes for about $80.

In CA.

Literally, 25 locksmiths in the great Seattle area and none could do what you're claiming they can.

car got towed, got re-sold by towing company ( completely legal), it no longer belongs to you.

All i know is i wish i picked that car up for $800 at a towing auction!! I'd keep it as a winter car or sell it for $3k profit!!

Lol your russian im surprised you didnt.

Hey if i knew it was on auction i would haha!

Thought you sold your E30 for a truck? Or was that one of your buddies? Sorry you all remind me of one dude. haha.

That was Dan and his white E30, he moved to spokane and needed a winter car. I still have my 89 zinno and plan to start the S50 swap in february!

Sorry about off-topic post, continue with the shady towing drivers/court drama..

It's not the first time this guy has not been on top of paying his bills on time...

I'm trying to read between the lines of what OP has said and if i'm reading it right,then OP sold car to friend on payments and kept the title,Op may or may not have a title showing himself as leinholder,which makes a difference to the court.

If OP has a title showing himself as leinholder,then the tow company has different responsibilities to take possesion through the lein process,If they followed the process and the leinholder didnt take action then the leinholder has no recourse left unless the tow company didnt follow the law properly.
If the OP has a title showing himself as owner and he didnt take action to recover his property from the tow company then the tow company has every right to recover his money by auctioning off the vehicle,AND he may come after the legal owner for additional money that he is owed until his lein is satisfied.
If the tow company has satisfied the state requirements then he has every right to sell the vehicle at auction and THAT sale is legal and binding and the buyer IS the new legal owner,he gets a NEW title,and any old titles are void.There are not 2 valid titles issued by the state.The new owner has no responsibility to any former owners or leinholders.
If the OP is owed money by whoever he sold the car to then he can still go after that person for whatever is due him but he probably cant recover the property at this point.

I am not an attorney and this is all my own opinion so dont take this as legal advice.Pass the popcorn please!

You have no idea how long the car was at the yard.

Long enough to.... wait,

Long enough that they filed a chattel lien against it.

It has to sit there a decent amount of time for the tow yard to file a lien and take ownership.

Thank you.

Unless it wasn't done legally and is why this is currently an issue and lawsuit.

If that were the case, he wouldn't have to take it to civil court with the buyer.
