Can someone report a vehicle stolen if they don't have a title?

Question

I want to repossess my truck he never got the title and the tags are still in my name. He never paid for the truck and the cops are making things long and drawn out and he already skipped town once. I'm afraid he'll do it again and the cops won't do anything until I hunt him down and find his address. So I jus want to jus take my key and go get my truck. Without involving the law. Is there anyway legally he can get back at me?

Answer 1

no if everything is in your name, it is YOUR property!!!! it is stolen. if you can't find your title, apply for a new one at the tag office, and if i were in your shoes i would hunt him down and take the truck, he can't do anything he is nothing but a low-life theif. hopefully you have a spare key. good luck. ☆

my mom's ex took off with her truck, and since she had let him "borrow" it the cops gave her a bunch of c**p, but she was persistent and eventually they found him 2 hours away and she got her truck back.☆

Answer 2

If the title is in your name, than YOU own the truck.  You need to take possession back, because if he is in an accident, they could sue you for being the owner of the vehicle.  Cops won't get involved if they see this as a 'domestic' situation, but you need to take control!

Answer 3

You have the title, he hasn't paid for it, tags still in your name, go and get it. He has no proof the truck is his.

Answer 5

If you have a contract with him, and he defaulted on the loan, you are entitled to repo the car. Do you have any proof that a sale took place? Is the title solely in your name? As it stands right now, if the car is in your name only, anything that happens regarding that car, tickets, accidents, drunk driving, all will come back to you as the legal owner of the car. If you have a written contract, you can repo the car without issue, just pick up the phone and provide proof of ownership(the title). You will have to get a duplicate title from the DMV, the title you gave to the buyer has your release on it, so you'll have to contact the DMV and remove the sale. If you have only an oral contract, you will probably have to go to small claims court to resolve the issue. As for him getting back at you................as long as you are being truthful and he hasn't made payment, you have made attempts to get the payments, his failure to transfer title can get him a ticket. And when he does transfer title, if he does, he'll have to pay late fees and a fine for late transfer. He can't legally get back at you.

Answer 6

If you have a valid contract you can repo.  If not then court.
