Written by someone else, whose car was in worse shape than my car when stolen: Open Letter To The Guy Who Stole My 11 Year-Old Piece-Of-Junk Car.

P.S.: being deaf, I had no CDs in my car when it was stolen.

Doesn’t seem the police are too bothered what they do with stolen cars and as for breakers yards!!!! I would always try to sell the car to a restoring enthusiast.

Oh, that must be the reason why the license plates were removed from the car when it was left in the lot. The buyer did not get the license plates, unless the lot attendant sneaked them to him behind my back.

Ira, did you turn over your old car's license plates when you sold it for disassembly into parts? Maybe if you held onto them, you'd not have the problem you had.

umm… why dispose for parts? was it no longer drivable? it’s usually much less profitable to sell for parts…

I’m weary of that myself, I once sold a REALLY old car for parts, and the guy ended up fixing it and sold it to a client. I started getting his parking tickets! I had to chase that A-hole down for half a year till he came to make a transfer of ownership. since he was driving it without a “test” and unregistered, we could not even transfer at the post office, had to go to the DMV

so make sure they really take it apart…
