I moved to NM from OH. A person in NM stole my truck by "mailing to Ohio" for a duplicate copy of the title without my knowledge, forged my signature, somehow got it notarized, and possibly retitled in NM and drove off or "sold" the vehicle. Filed police report, months later they found the truck, police report says truck was "embezzled." Don't have any copy of new title(s), don't even know the person's name that did this, and now car is at police impound, with supposed investigation under way. How do I get truck retitled in order to get it out of impound without it sitting for months and costing a fortune? I heard somewhere about asking DMV for "pink slip" as a way to get a copy of the application used when retitled, even if that works the name on it is likely fake, does anyone know if "pink slip" contains the name of the notary? My understanding is the notary that falsely stamped the title can be held liable for any/all losses. The truck is only work about $3500 and older, but it's all I have, really just want to get re-titled and move on, I'm assuming that would be a "salvage title" but again, I don't have access to the title directly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
