Two days ago I decided to run a Carfax on the VIN of my old car, finding a new title was issued in October. The day after I run my original title # on the state BMV site, revealing the current owner - James G Jackson, Chief of Police.
I assume since his job title is listed next to his name, he isn't the owner and it is probably at the impound. So today I call the impound and they tell me the car is in fact there. I'm informed I won't like what I see as it is only a shell.
First, picture of it before it was stolen,
Note the headlights, the lack of a truck lock and the wheels.
This is what I find,
Turns out the car has been there since January. State Farm was notified of this in February when the impound sent out TWO letters to them telling them the car was there.
At some point the Columbus Auto Squad steps in since my car was recovered with Mark Martin's race car that was stolen around the same time as my car.
Also, two months ago someone was there and removed a motor and an axle from my car. That guy was somehow "the current owner", even though I settled with State Farm so they should have held the title.
There is more, but I'm kind of sick of the subject at the moment so I'll get back to this later. I'm going to attempt to buy the car back and rebuild it when I'm done with college (about a year left). I don't even know if that is possible at this point (buying it back) so we'll see how it goes.
