What do you do when the car you have owned for 38 years turns out to be a stolen car???
Quote:SAN DIEGO - It turns out the beloved 1965 Ford Mustang coupe Judy Smongesky has had since high school graduation nearly 38 years ago doesn't really belong to her.
Judy Smongesky of City Heights said she is resigned to the fact that she may lose the car she believed was hers for almost four decades. A check of identification numbers revealed that the car had been reported stolen.
The vintage vehicle had been reported stolen two weeks before her father bought it as a present when she was 18.
If it was your car that had been stolen that long ago, would you let her keep it?
Heck no! What would work out better, daily rental rates, or mileage?
surely it belongs to the insurance company. Assuming they paid out on the original policy.
and if it were not for the fact that those cars sell for a good chunk of change I am willing to bet the 'original owner' would not put up such a stink about having it returned..
especially after almost 40 years..
what.. is he claiming to be attached to it or something??
That's interesting about the insurance...
The insurance company will usually sell it back to the original owner for the price they paid for it (at least, here in Australia they will)
