Get the lawyers involved as a last resort.

The law will likely yield a lopsided decision. The original victim will likely get his car back. The subsequent victim will loose his $$$. The original victim wins and the second innocent victim gets shafted even more. ( he loses the car he already paid for as well as his restoration expenses)

The only one that should really get the shaft is the thief or thieves

The bottom line is that there are two victims here and from an ethical perspective, both need to reach an amicable decision.

1. The original victim recovers his car and the second victim keeps as much as his investment as possible

2. The original victim sells the recovered vehicle to the second victim.

Keep the lawyers out of it if possible as both will pay out and loose even more.

Both parties need to come together, find the perpetrator and make him pay figuratively and literally.

Although the second victim was probably in the wrong/careless for investing in a car without a title, one can argue that the original victim was in the wrong/careless for not properly securing his vehicle.

Just my opinion
