Theft of title to a car
<p>Someone stole my car and fraudulently registered it. She is someone I let borrow the car, who then stole the title. Also, car was registered without insurance. This is all public record. I bought the car in 2018, let her borrow it, she stole in 2019 and registered without insurance and then added insurance a few days later.</p>
<p>Police are saying it's a civil issue and refusing to do anything about this obvious fraud. Her pimp is apparently in jail for something else now but police have not taken any action on the car.</p>
<p>Is there some legal reason police are not doing their job or do they just not care? If I find the car in a public place can I just break into it and drive off?</p>

<p>That would not be anywhere near registering the title in your name.</p>
<p>Whoever processes title registrations is presumed to conduct all necessary checks to establish that the new owner is legitimate. Unlike driving off someone's car without their authorization, registering a car title in your name constitutes no apparent crime elements for the police to act on.</p>
<p>Your recourse would be to prove that the title should not have been transferred, for which you would indeed have to file a civil claim. Once you have a civil court decision identifying why the title transfer went ahead whereas it should not have, that could possibly open up avenues for criminal investigation.</p>
