Stolen Vehicles

It's Friday night and it's been another long week of meeting deadlines and dealing with the staff. You walk into the parking garage and look for your car?but it is not there. While having your car stolen is not the end of the world (although it may feel like it at the time), it is upsetting, time-consuming, costly, and a complete hassle.

Make an informed decision on your next vehicle purchase by knowing which vehicles are most often stolen in your state. Some vehicles are just plain targets for criminals because they are popular and easy to sell off in the stolen car market.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has information on the most stolen vehicles in each state, so as a protective service to you, DMV.ORG links to the NICB Web site.

VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT SPONSOR

One thing that might be worse than having your vehicle stolen is finding out that a car you purchased is a stolen vehicle. If you do buy a stolen vehicle, there are several problems you could face. You could be charged with buying a stolen vehicle, especially if it appears that you may have had knowledge that the vehicle was stolen?and you could also lose the vehicle without compensation for your purchase price. That's just not something you want to experience.

Ordering a vehicle history report before buying a car might just help you out. In addition to telling you whether or not the vehicle is stolen, vehicle history reports could tell you about any major wrecks the vehicle has been involved in, if the title is valid, about any recalls issued on it, and pointers that can help to identify odometer fraud. Vehicle history reports can be useful before buying a used car or truck.
