Legal Ownership of a Car

[Rick H]

For some reason this story sounds very familiar. Has this incident been discussed on here or another site? As Charley said I think there is more to this then what is being said.

For the car to have been titled in NY some papers would have to be forged to get a title.

If the car is older then 1972 and no plates are on the car then the car can be determined abandoned and transfeered. Section 215(a) and Section 1224(2) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law outlines the correct forms and procedure.

It has some very interesting information including how the previous owner does not have to be contacted.

I would have done something at the time you noticed it missing because I really think you have lost out on that car.
