Go and check it out yourself and then call the state police to check the vin.
Don't forget about the vin numaber under the drivers side speaker.

Hey everyone,

It has been established that thei is the same car via vin numbers. Mr. Moorhead is in the middle of getting this car back and has been in contact with the police.

Its bafling how people at the DMV are such ignorant nazis when it comes to registering a car, but how no one cares when you find one that has been stolen.

With it being an 88, it would be near impossible just to change the Vin, starting in 87 they stickered EVERYTHING. You could pull them all off, but its a pain, and some are hard to get to.

Well, I hope Steve get's it back without too much trouble. He has documentation that the car is his and he should have some proof from the owner of the property that the car was illegally removed from that states that the tow truck driver was in now way given permission to access the parking lot.

What get's me is the BRASS this jag off showed in stealing a car off private property and listing it on Craig's List!

Well, it's gone legal.

I got an email from Steve and he is suing to get the car back. No details but at least the good news is that the car is not going anywhere until the lawsuit is litigated and Steve is pretty confident.

Heck, I would be too, my car gets stolen and I have to sue to get it back? Something is wrong with the system!

I'm not sure I consider that "good news".

Good news would have been for the determination of who-wronged-who to be obvious enough that it would have been a criminal matter and not so wishy-washy as to require a civil lawsuit.

REALLY good news would have been for that determination to be SO painfully obvious they could have settled it out of court "like gentlemen".

Of course I don't know a darn thing about the law, so........

true,

But what amazes me is that the system si this screwed-up to begin with that would allow this thief to actually be smug enough to think he can get away with stealing a car off private property and sell it on Craig's list as if he wouldn't get caught! That has GOT to tell you that there are some serious loopholes in the system.

Makes me wonder how many times he has pulled this before. The problem he ran into this time is the fact that the Fiero people are such a tight knit group. What other type of car has such a following that it would be found on Craigslist that quickly....and more importantly that NOBODY would touch the car because anyone that would be interested in that car already knows more about it's history than the person in possession of it.

I agree that the system is pretty screwed up when the police are forcing him to take matters into his own hands on this. One of two things will happen here....the worst is that Steve will lose and lose his car....the best is that Steve wins, gets his car back, and there are still no criminal charges against this guy so he is free to try it again on the next guy.

It doesn't sound like loopholes to me. It sounds like someone "made a mistake" and as far as the authorities are concerned, it wasn't "theft". If it was clearly theft, then criminal charges would have been raised against the owner of the towing company and the current (official) owner of the car. If Steve is having to resort to pursuing a civil suit then it's obvious that the police did not consider this a "theft".

So at that point, Steve's only recourse is to get a lawyer and sort through all the chaff to figure out if:

The towing company mistakenly took a car from an area that was supposed to be exempt from towing, or
The apartment complex mistakenly asked the tow co to remove a car that they should not have, or
Steve forgot to pay the storage fee, or
Steve's friend who lives in that complex forgot to pay the storage fee, or
Steve's friend forgot to call Steve and tell him about the note in his mail slot saying that the car had to go, or
Neither Steve or his friend noticed the neon warning "ABANDON - WILL BE TOWED" sign on the windshield that had been there for three months, or
Steve's friend moved out of that complex completely, or
or...
or...
or...

I know it's all speculative, but THAT'S what I'm worried about. Sorting through all that crap is probably what's going on.........

I usually don't get drawn into drama, but this one is like a soap opera!! I just gotta know how it turns out!!

Go Steve!!

Haha! Yeah, I know... It's like trying to guess what's going to happen next week on your favorite show!

And the problem is that the people who really know what's going on probably aren't allowed to talk about it.

Just curious...Did the insurance company pay-off on the car? If they did, it's their car now. They should have asked for the title on pay out.

fierOmar sent me a email last night, he said that the fiero is now back with its rightful owner, he said that after court the owner got the car back, PLUS all legal fee's and some extra cash for his troubles.

sounds like it turned out ok at best.

hopefully the tow truck company got legal action taken against them.

Yay, for a decent resolution, would hate to see anything happen to that car. The legal system is alot like our Fieros, alot of times it has problems and breaks.
