Hello, Someone brought a damaged car to the garage my boyf owns for fixing. After fixing the car the owner never returned and he was unable to contact the guy on the number given. After about 2 months he HPI the car and found it was still under finance, so he contcted the finance company only to be told that they were interested in the car and they intended to collect. Negotiations took place and my boyf paid the remainding finance, less the cost of work already paid and gave the car to me as a gift. Last weekend we went to the DVLA to put a cherish number plate on the car only to be told this would not be possible due to the car being stolen! We were told to go to the nearest police station to sort it out because all our paperwork was in order. At the station they were unable to take the car off the register but gave us a crime reference number and sent us on our way - with the car! Turns out the previous owner has reported the car stolen 6 months before. Within this 6 months, i have been able to tax the car on line! Have it MOT and drive around in it never been stopped or made aware of the prob. Even the HPI didnt pick up that it was stolen. The next day, the police arrived with a recovery van and took the car, despite saying we were ok to drive it the day before. Not sure where i stand, its been 2 days now and i haven't heard anything despite several calls to local station. What are my chances of getting the car back? Who does it legally belong to?
