A friend of mine bought a car close to 10 years ago. It turned out the car was stolen or something ( c below)?

So he bought the car. The car was confiscated by the police. Nothing was done like he received no cash or another car and lost around 20g that he spent on the car. When he tried to talk to the police they would have other more important investigations so they never handled it.





Could he do anything now to recover the money? What would be a process to start at?

And no, there is little to no chance of recouping 20 grand that was spent a deade ago.
Reply:If it happen 10 years ago forget it. your story sound funny as the first time he went to bet a auto tag, it should have flag the system that there was something wrong and you get a tag every year. Remember you can't believe every thing you hear. Like it all ways a friend, sister,or brother that has these problems
Reply:The only thing he can do is file a civil suit against the person who sold him the car.





It was never 'his' car. The whole time the true owner of the car was the person it was stolen from.
Reply:Did he have the title to the car?





He could have been arrested himself for receiving stolen property.
