Can I get my money back if they lie to the police and tell them… "we bought it stolen ourselves and didn't know."
Yesterday I bought a car from someone who had an ad on Craigslist. Didn't notice but the person had swapped out the VIN # plate next to the windshield and falsified the title.
Well the car was reported stolen I found out when I called the police to ask about the car's history when I noticed the title looked strange and some of the VIN # looked tampered with.
I have the person's phone number and where one of them work after looking them up through an Iphone that pulled up one of their online facebook. They were selling it "as a car they had bought but didn't need after all".
If he tells the cops, "I didn't know it was stolen when I sold it to this guy" is there any way for me to get my $ back from him?
