nevada forgery
Isn&#39;t forging a signature on a car title a crime?
<p>I let someone borrow my car, and the title was in the car. They stole the title and signed it over to themselves and registered the car.</p>

<p>Although the police  acknowledge a forgery occurred (if this is true), they say that the DMV is a magical godlike entity that decides the law therefore it is not a criminal  offense but a civil issue. Is this correct?</p>

<p>This is a case of "the wrong police". If someone hotwires your car and drives away, the local police will investigate and make a recommendation to the prosecution. This is a case of document fraud, investigated by the DMV's <a href="https://dmvnv.com/ced.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Compliance Enforcement Division</a>. Here is <a href="https://dmvnv.com/pdfforms/ced020.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the form</a> where you would report the forgery. This does not preclude filing a report with local police, though they may insist that you file in person, and may resist taking a complete report since ultimately the issue is investigated by CED. If an officer refuses to take a report of a crime, you can always file a complaint with a superior officer. If it is within the officer's discretion to refuse to take the report, they will just dismiss your complaint against the officer.</p>
