    The FB page "stolen cars Detroit, Mi" is one of the best ones on social media.

    99% of these cars stolen locally are not being exported. If you are buying used have local police check the public VIN to the secondary VIN's if there is a discrepancy your local police can have an auto theft detective check the confidential VIN, It's only way to protect yourself. if you purchase a nice SRT for 30-40k then find out after it was stolen or a fraud related past, you will be out the car and 40k. I have seen cars with multiple liens and the banks fighting over who will get it back but in the end you would be out the car and money.

    Is that a risk when buying from a private party or can it happen if you finance a used vehicle from a dealership

    This is why I normally purchase my vehicles one of two ways;

    - Government auctions.

    - Original, one owner vehicles.

    Never had a problem with these, never heard of a problem.
