so if i travel across the country with proof of insurance, duplicate key, moving permit and proof of both ownership and theft, then i could legally reclaim my vehicle and drive it bacl?
It's great that you have all the necessary documents. However, it's essential to contact local law enforcement in the area where your vehicle is located before attempting to retrieve it. They can assist in ensuring the process is legal and safe. Would you like help connecting with local authorities or a lawyer to assist you further?
yes but then it will be impounded an held for investigation for lord knows how long, and then towed back across the country at my expense which is not fair. I would rather just go get my vehicle. i put in the work to find it becuase the police did not. i cant afford towing and storage fees, and i need my vehicle back i cant afford to take the loss
I understand your concerns about the costs and delays. To clarify, are you considering retrieving the vehicle without involving local authorities, or would you like to explore potential legal options to minimize your expenses and expedite the process?
well lets explore my options
