1st off, sorry you're going through this . but, stolen property is stolen property. According to your story FORD received payment on an insurance claim for a stolen vehicle and that would mean the vehicle A) belongs to the insurance company or 2) FORD needs to reimburse the insurance company upon return of the vehicle. Regardless, the person who you would need to go after for the money is is there persons you bought the Bronco from off of craigslist. I've never heard of this happening with a major Auto manufacture bur it happens way more often than realize with used cars.
I agree. At the end of the day im just sitting at rock bottom with out either so its a no loss situation here anyway. Pretty much maxed loss I dont expect it back but im sure one day that guy will get his karma
Insurance finally called me back after I made the post like 2 hours after and hes doing his best to help thats about it. ex pd of 25 years who works for them. Havent heard from them in 3-5 days Dudes a john doe lots of phone calls for something I wont see again anyways. Thanks for the help grumpy youd be alot more grumpy missing 75k thats for sureI've read all 9 pages and amazed I did so. I keep having a reoccurring thought I can't figure out. Why did you sign up as a member yesterday, put in your bio that you own a BRaptor, but based on original post you don't own one. And secondly why did you sign up and feel you had to tell us this horrendous story? I'm not disputing that this may of happened as stated, but want did you think would come from posting it here? I don't understand the logic behind it.
There seems to be a lot going on in the story. And you originally stated you can't get help from anyone, ins co, police, dealer. But based on pictures you posted there is a lot to go on. Luggage tags, craigs listing, photos of those involved, not to mention the seller going in with you at DMV. Guaranteed the DMV has interior surveillance to witness person with you. And then in your latest posting you are now saying you hired an investigator, wow that's quick since you didn't have one in your original post earlier today. There is just too many questionable gray areas in this plot.
The title had the two women's name and an "or" in-between their names. In AK either party can legally sign off on the title if it says "or" instead of "and".
I remember seeing this bronco raptor on Craigslist in Phoenix. I thought it was strange that the guy wanted cash only ($100 dollar bills) to be exact and said he didn’t live locally but was going to pick it up out of storage.
Also that sticker is missing the Ford security background graphic (I don't want to post a picture of my sticker but check your Bronco to see what I'm talking about).
You need to contact your local FBI office and speak to the special agent in charge of cybercrime. Generally, they will not investigate anything when there is a loss of than $30,000. However, this qualifies. They more than likely have a case open on this auto theft ring, so your photos and evidence would be very valuable.
Its pretty simple really. The Bronco he traded has no value as a stolen vehicle. Sure he could pay cash or refinance it again, but were talking about the value of a Bronco Raptor, not merely a down payment. So he decided to return the new Raptor truck, which is what I would do. Either way, he is out the value of the stolen Bronco. The only thing ridiculous about it is the scumbag criminals involved in stealing and selling the Bronco. Man I'm tempted to rant about that right now, but I would get canceled again....
Wrong. I just don't run with people who get scammed out of $75k and turn around try and get right quick before shit hits the fan.
