[W126 Coupe] Stolen coupe on ebay

[jflyer2 at aim.com]

Who in their right mind or total naivety would ever give someone the title to a car that hasn't really been?sold yet. Sounds like someone is learning a valuable lesson. All the mechanic has to say is that he either bought the car or it was payment of a shop bill. Either way, he has the "legal"?title.

As they say, "Possession is nine tenths of the law."? :-(

It sounds like someone sent it on it's way w/ a signed/blank title.....and someone decided to take advantage of that fact.

But, I'm just guessing :-P

I'm confused. If it's stolen, why is it still on EBay? Seems like one police report and an email to EBay and that thing's off the site? Getting it back should be rather easy as well.

?

Am I missing something here?


Later,
