Forging a signature on NC car title
<p>My now ex boyfriend and I had 4 cars. They are all in my name, my insurance. One needed some &quot;repairs&quot; I was told so he took it to a mechanic. A week later I drive by the mechanic shop to see &quot;my&quot; car with updated accessories (camper thing on top). I asked my ex boyfriend and he said he sold it to the owner of the shop. Surprised, by the deception, I still asked &quot;Don't I need to go buy and sign the title?&quot; to which he answered no he took care of it. Isn't is a crime to forge my name on a title that is supposed to be signed by a notary? He also up and left and took the other cars and the titles in my name to Florida. I can't cancel insurance on them because they are all still in my name. What can I do?</p>

<p>Yes, this is absolutely a crime. I'm not a lawyer, but at a minimum this is theft (and possibly fraud). You own the cars, not him; he definitely does not have the legal right to sell something that legally belongs to someone else. In fact, given the value of what was stolen, this would likely be grand larceny (or the equivalent) in many jurisdictions.</p>

<p>This is unquestionably theft.</p>
<p>As far as options, I'd encourage you to file a police report right away; they should be able to help you recover your stolen property. You could also talk to a lawyer about your options for a civil lawsuit.</p>
