I was getting evicted from a place that me and my girlfriend rented the notice said everything must be removed from the property or it will be forfeited I took everything of value including the car because the girlfriend was MIA I sold the car to a junk yard I gave them proof of my ID and singed for the sale. since then the girlfriend found out she was pregnant and we have been separated since(haven't seen or heard from her) owner of car is unknown i know she had a title but i do not think it was in her name

Can she or anyone charge me for grand theft auto,dealing in stolen property and fictitious indication of ownership because that is the charges against me???

  1. I see you going to jail.

    Law suit for the people who bought it.


  2. all car titles are recorded at the DMV. the owners name is also recorded. if the title was in your name, it would have to be transferred to her name for her to have ownership.  

  3. You definitely have a problem, when you went to the junk yard they had to ensure you where the right full owner of the car in order to do the deal, so did you sign something saying you where the owner?  

    It seems the problem: 1) you knew the car was not yours, 2) stolen property relates to you selling the car which you knew was not yours to the junk yard 3) and the fictitious ownership relating to the transaction with the junk yard

    Better lawyer up since the DA is going after you, since it sounds like your ex made a sworn complaint about it

    Hindsight should have left the car when you moved out

  4. no they cant charge you with a criminal offense but the owner can sue you for what you got from selling the car. The thing is since it was not under your name then if the owner finds out you will have alot of legal papers to fill out. But dont worry about theft charges because it was not reported stolen and it was sold legally without chopping it. But you will face alot of civil claims which is not criminal just a pain in your *** and wallet
