[W126 Coupe] Stolen coupe on ebay

[shinzbox at aol.com]

 I was once manning an exotic car dealer showroom in Los Angeles. I had just closed for the evening when I heard a commotion outside. No less than 3 patrol cars and 3 motor officers screached to a hault in front and came rushing up to the door.? 

They forced themselves in and claimed the Ferrari Testarossa on the showroom floor was stolen and they were there to confiscate it.? Then a civilian who came with them claimed it was his car. Hmmm, I said, I have the signed title for this car.? Well the idiot who claimed it was his car had pawned the car and failed to pay up and so we purchased it. The title was signed but he denied it was his signature. Anyway, he had a lot of explaining to do to the police. 

When you sign the title here in California you have given up ownership to the car.

Hi in Nevada,


The signature of the buyer is irrelevant. The seller is the important 
signature witnessed by the notary. If what you said is?true 
is?Nevada?then I am glad that Carolina has this law( requiring a 
notary stamp/signature of seller). It appears to prevent theft without a big 
hassle but yes, I understand there are ways around this.


Regards,


Jay
