What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Rhode Island
A friend (supposed) of mine borrowed my car and returned the next day and told me that it was stolen from him by a woman he took on a date. The woman happened to be a adult dancer. I reported the vehicle stolen and after a month and a half heard nothing from the police. I then saw what I thought was my vehicle being driven near my residence and decided to run a carfax. The report stated that my vehicle had a new registered owner. I called the police and they sent me to the DMV to investigate. The enforcement unit provided me with the new owner information and I in turn gave the information to the police. Two weeks later the police informed me that they had recovered my vehicle. Twenty minutes after the call I was called by my frends girlfriend who informed me that a woman had called her and said that the police had stopped her in my vehicle and that it was towed by the police to the impound. The det. in charge called me four days later and told me that he returned the vehicle to the new owner because she had purchased the vehicle legally and that I had in fact traded in my 2000 Lexus rx300 with 120k in the next state for a 1999 Dodge Intrepid with 184k and then the dealer sold my vehicle to a person in my state.. They claimed that my signature matched on all the sale forms and title. Even though I told them of the call I received they told me that I had to go the state where the vehicle had been traded and have that state's police investigate further because there was no crime committed in my state. The other state's police said that they could investigate the fraudulent sale that took place in their state but could not assist in recovering my vehicle from my state. The original friend who borrowed the car was arrested in the Dodge intrepid by my state police for operating a vehicle with improper tags and registration. I informed the local police of this new information and they still refused to recover the car stating that I had to go to the dealer and make a claim for compensation for my vehicle.
