If the auto belonged to your daughter, then she is the one to try to make a repo. this, of course, is provided a bill of sale took place between you two and your daughter and the third party.

This is why paperwork is so important.

This is civil and you need an attorney to be involved.

This is to protect yourself, in case the vehicle is used in a crime.

Its not stolen.

Not an expert but it sounds to me like it's still your car! Take it back and don't let them have it untill the finish the paperwork.

- You could be held responsible for something that happens with the car because it is still in your name!

- Actually if I fill out a transfer of ownership form the responsibility shifts to the buyer...thing is...that I have to have the vin and tag number to complete the form. Kid won't call me back. He has gotten a couple of non-moving violations (the reason I found out about this), but the police dept. assured me that I am not liable for this. I just worry about something bigger in nature. Don't know this kid and don't trust him. My wife agrees with you...so do I. Thanks.

- Did you have insurance on the vehicle in the past? if so, try to locate an old insurance policy. it will show the VIN.
