Possession of Stolen Vehicle
I bought a car from an independent owner last year. I was never able to get the car registered because the VIN didnt show up in the system with the Dept of Transportation. I got stopped a week ago and found out the car is stolen. I cannot find the person who sold me the car and I need to know what to do to prove that I didnt steal the car because all I have is a bill of sale wit no notarierty. This is my first car purchase and I didnt know. What should I do, I have court on Dec 13th.

I purchased a vehicle in 1998 in the state of michigan. On the way home with the vehicle which was approx 15 miles from my home in Indiana, I was pulled over by Edwardsburg, Mi. police. the car was impounded and I was taken to jail where I bonded out immediately for $100.00. I had a bill of sale for the car, In which I was told by the Michigan Secretary of State that I had 72 hours to get the car home on a bill of sale. the charge at the time was improper registration. obviously I had just purchased the car. I went to a court date and thought that everything was taken care of. I then moved to Arizona to run a company for a friend. When I returned to Indiana in 2005 I went to trade my arizona license in for an indiana one, and was told that there was something in Michigan on my record and had to take care of it first before I could be issued a new Indiana License. I then called the Cass County Michigan Clerk whom I spoke to personally and she said that I had a failure to appear charge and warrant out for me. she told me to take care of the issue I had to pay $105.00 which I paid immediately, she faxed me a copy of the reciept and told me to keep it in my possession for 6months, which I did. I got pulled over in Niles, Michigan last night and when they ran my license the warrant was still showing up. I then again was taken to jail where I bonded out immediately again for $300.00 this has been an 11 year ordeal because someone failed to take the warrant off of a darn computer. what can I do about this?

My grandparents sold me an ’85 Toyota Trecel for the verbally agreed price of $1500. The car was registered to my dad’s wife in Iowa, & the car sat in Nebraska for 6+ months (it’s illegal to register a car in IA & reside it in NE). My dad’s wife wrote the bill of sale for $50, gave me the title, & told me I was to sign her signature when I went to register it (she said she didn’t know where to sign). I did so, & after 3 weeks the car went out on me. My grandfather & dad told me the car was in great running condition, they both claimed the motor had been rebuilt, & it would get me where I needed to go; I trusted them both of the condition of the car (both have been mechanics all there lives). The value listed @ KellyBlueBook.com is $705 (listing it in ‘fair’ condition, which is listing it in better conditon that it is). I paid $500 ‘down’, & once it gave out on me, I offered $200 more to keep it, or to give it back & get my $500 back, forgoing the $100 worth of work I have put into it. All offers have been rejected before being heard. I have spoken to the Co Treasurer, Co Attorney, & Capt. of the polic dept & have been told that I have nothing to worry about; it’s a civil issue, not a criminal issue. Is the advise I have been give
