Stolen Canadian 69 charger help

[fireguyfire]

This car was stolen up here by a scam artist, and thought it would be good to post here; I know this website got raked over the coals before and accused of being spam, but in this case I think everyone should read this article in case this car shows up in our charger world.     Thanks guys

Thats crazy.  Certified Check was no good?  I feel for the owner.  Left high and dry.

That's why I only deal in cash.

I'll keep my eyes open at all the events that I attend, is there a V.I.N.

[fireguyfire]

I'll see if I can get a vin # for it.

THEY SHOULD HANG THOSE BASTARDS TO THE HIGHEST TREE YOU CAN FIND 

[Tilar]

    Nothing worse than a thief or a liar... One is as bad as the other and that guy has them both wrapped in to one package.

Think again....Counterfeiters are out there. First thing the seller shoulda done was check with his/her bank and see if check was good or not BEFORE releasing the car.

[nvrbdn]

  these checks wernt invented yesterday. always have the bank check it out before releasing.

[histoy]

I think that the best way is to do a wire transfer of the cash from one bank to the other.  Then you know you have the money before you release the car.

Thanks for posting. I hope the car is found!

[Mikesmoparperformance]

That sucks. Always check the money first before you give the guy the car!
I will keep my eyes open we will find it

[tan top]

aww man thats a bummer 

[stripedelete]

I hope there's a special place in hell for this guy.

So what's the end game is here?   How does the system work in Canada?  In the states the thief could "jump" title at which time the buyer is on the hook for accepting stolen property.  Will the Canadian system pick up the next transfer? 

Is it a hemi? Will it pay to go to trouble of swapping vins? Just seems like a lot of trouble and risk to just chop it up. 

Might be a good idea to post a vin with the pics.

Guess i never saw this post and started one of my own about this Charger .
the problem with cashiers checks and money orders is the bank will accept them and maybe two weeks down the road the bank will come back and say its bogus.
Too bad the seller never asked to get pic of the buyers(errrr thief) drivers lic . i bet that would make some of these guys a little more cautious especially if the dr lic got a pic on it .

you can still get it checked by the bank to verifiy if its real and cash available. I did this onece  for selling one of my cars the person gave me a cashiers check from a so called 'bank' I then went to the bank with him and asked to verify the funds through the serial number on the check and once it was verified my bank took the money from his bank immediately through wire.

Even though checks, papers, etc. are still physical the wire of those 'papers' is avialble also as long as the funds are there.

i dunno, the parts sold separately are probably worth more than the car as a whole. hope they find it.

[TUFCAT]

I think you're right.  To protect the seller, a  photocopy of the buyer's driver's license and social security number should be mandatory in any private sale.

Dealerships require both...and there's a good reason why.

How does the system work in Canada?

Not sure in Alberta but here in BC a Vehicle Transfer/Tax Form must be filled out when selling a vehicle. Once that's done and sent to ICBC then the vehicle now belongs to the new owner. BUT the new vehicle could be tracked by ICBC so finding the new owner would be easy.

Most likely it will be stripped of it's parts or the dash vin will be swapped for a '69 charger the thief already owns.

[bmoparmofo]

Hopefully they track the car and p.o.s. down. I dont know how some people can live with themselves.

In case the link goes down. Looking for this guy and this car.

[Fred]

That really is badluck, I guess some of us are more trusting than other's.
Me, I don't trust anyone! I guess some of us have to learn the hard way.Lets hope he gets it back

When I see that pic of looking down at the car its almost like I want to punch his face you can get a sense of what he is thinking in his head looking at the car. 

[mopar_man]
