Recieving Stolen Property ?
I recently bought a registered quarter horse in South Carolina. After paying for him, I found out that these people did not own him. I have found and spoken to the original owner in Illinois. They are fine with my having the horse, but will not relinquish his paper work until they are paid. So what do I do? I have the bill of sale, will I have to pay twice?

Proving that I am Innocent in Receiving Stolen Property charges…
Recently I had bought from a stranger at a local casino, a 71′ datsun ”z” car. The man seemed hard up for more casino money. So, me and a friend checked out the car. It was a tore up looking clunker, but for the price…$250.oo…I could some repairs to it and turn around and sell it for a profit. Well, he didn’t have the pink to it, which is normal…he said he’d send it to me in the mail. He gave me a bill of sales…took out his belongings and went to spend the cash. about a month later…while i am at work i get a call from a police officer who is at my home and is informing me that the car was stolen!!! wow!! all i could think was, ”WHO would steal that thing??” not even thinking that’d I was even in any trouble, he then informed me I would be needing to turn myself in !! So, i do, and find myself spending 5 days in custody. I am now being charged with KNOWINGLY receiving stolen property!!! How do I go about gathering up whatever I may need in order to prove my innocence of KNOWINGLY do anything illegal…only being slightly guilty of being TRUSTING instead????

Auto -Title ownership and criminal issues I purchased an auto about 25 years ago.
Auto -Title ownership and criminal issues
I purchased an auto about 25 years ago. With access to the internet of today, I am told it is likely the vin was replaced on a stolen car. I have had the car registered in my name for the past 25 years to what is the vin on the bill of sale. My question is have all the statue of limitations run both in ownership to this auto and any criminal acts. In no way or form did I suspect I was buying or receiving stolen property nor am I able to confirm that at this point. What should I do to clear the title to this auto. Thank you.
Vehicle sold ”as is”.
Vehicle sold ”as is”. ?
I sold a 6 cyl. van to someone. They test drove it twice and then paid for it, after I told them to make sure it was what they wanted before I got the title. they picked it up later that day. I had paid off the loan and signed the title over to them. They left with title and bill of sale, sold ”as is”. Several hours later they came to the door saying that the engine they thought the engine was too small to pull thier boat. They said they would be back tommorow and if it wasn’t what they thought it was theywanted to go back on the deal. Can they do this, I have already purchased a new vehicle?

I was sold a car that was reported stolen and was arrested
An acquaintance told me about a car for sale and took me to go see it. He introduced me to the seller, I liked the car, seller handwrote bill of sale to me, we signed, I paid $800 cash. He had bill of sale to him from previous owner which matched name on registration, he gave it to me. Seemed legit. 1 month later while driving car, I was pulled over and arrested for stolen car (reported 3 days prior) and poss. of stolen property. My P.D. subpoenaed acquaintance & now I have located the creep who sold car to me. Can’t my PD subpoena him now we have his address and how can I recover the $800 I paid for the car which I no longer have?
