Commercial Truck Stolen by forgery # DMV

i would sue this person for lost time, wages, costs of business and anything else i could think of

my first reply was alot more lenthly, and had a bunch of questions...but i lost it and refuse to retype it........maybe later

 

When you took out the insurance, did they take a copy of the bill of sale or lease agreement? If so, you should be able to get a copy from them or if it was purchased at a dealership they will have paperwork on it as well. I would get as much info as possible on proof of ownership before heading to court. BOL!! Hope this helps.

 

Got insurance??

Burn the b####. You get the $$$. The thief gets squat.

 

arson charges will follow and no insurance money

 

I don't know much about California but have a couple of questions.
Did you own the truck or was it financed?
Does Cali have a title certificate for vehicles? If so, was your name on the title?
If you owned the truck and had the title, I don't see how he could claim ownership without you signing the title over to him.
If the truck was financed, the bank owns it!
If you go to court, sue him for "Theft by deception", and have a handwriting expert prove his signature is a forgery!
Oh ya, if your lawyer doesn't know what motion to file, get a new lawyer.

Take your information to the police of the jurisdiction you are in, they have more balls then any DMV and as the previous post stated get rid of that attorney, gotta be an IDIOT not to know what to file on a civil matter like this.

But taking it criminal would prove your case prior to the civil issue coming up and you would not have to pay for an attorney.

 

Mel, it sounds like you know where the truck is? If so I give you kudos for sure. I admire your patience.

But I would have my truck back by now one way or another. I'm a nice guy and I don't condone violence at all but there is no way in these economic times I would put up with that BS for 1 second.

Have you called the cops? Like was mentioned they may be able to do more then the DMV.

I don't recommend this at all but personally, if I couldn't get anywhere through legal means I would simply take my truck back. Stash it somewhere that nobody would find it, and then work on the paperwork issue. If I can't work the truck i sure ain't gunna let that punk work it, or strip it, or sell it or who knows what?

Good luck buddy, I feel for ya. I'm all worked up just thinking about it...
