stolen camaro found out of state

[Pulnaway]

Maybe I missed something...but I dont think so. The system did not fail. The guy has had the car in his possession since august of 2012. He says he checked into it and the title was clear??? Sure you did!!! In July of this year he tried to get a title and found out it was stolen. Now 4 mos later the guy is on the Z site asking the internet for help? In my opinion this whole situation was of purchasers making. This kids father made all the wrong moves from day one. The only thing here that failed is common sence.

It APPEARS that is correct. Like I keep saying, I don't know that we have all the facts.

I have looked at a couple cars over the years with question marks. You can write down the vin and call your local police to make sure it is not stolen.

It is clearly an administrative fault by your government.</div></div>
The US does have a system. All stolen cars should be entered in the NICB database. All states should check the database before issuing a title on a car.
Obviously, somewhere that system failed. </div></div>

I have an FBI fraud investigator AND a NJ State police detective working on getting NICB info for my car,and both have said that there is no record of the car ever being made. So much for guys saying that NICB knows all sorts of stuff about our cars. I don't think the database is as complete as people think.
