I will just have to walk away from it with no reprisals. But I hope the engine blows sky high while he is driving it up hill in front of a speeding semi.

Was it ever titled in your name anywhere? If so, you can apply for a replacement title in that state, & have it mailed to you. If it was never in your name, then you are SOL. :'(

Unfotrtunately for Yonuh, he may have lost his truck. He never did say how long it had been left at the other guy's place, nor what type and model year the truck is.

Let's all learn from his misfortune, though. If you lose a title, get a replacement pronto - don't wait 5 years, or even 5 weeks. In Ohio, you can't get license plates without your title, so how did he license the truck every year?

Where I live in Ohio, we don't have smog testing every year, although some parts of the state do. For those of you in smog testing states, do you have to show your title every year when you get the test performed?

I feel badly for our friend, but I don't see how he drove and licensed this truck for 5 years with no title.

The truck was at my former friends place not even a year, just a few months.

I'm sure a judge will give it back to you...

Surely you have a picture of you in the truck from some time ago? Neighbors who would say it was your truck, anything,, ? Have you ever gotten a ticket driving it?

A small claims case might be worthwhile.. IF you have the patience/time for it AND proof that you once owned the truck AND at least a verbal agreement that the friend would store the truck for X amount of time, which you did not exceed... then yes, do try and sue in replevin (or for a return, is that right Jerry?) and a judge might order the truck returned. Much easier than trying to collect money from a deadbeat after winning a case. But you'll need the right ammo to win it in the first place. From the details given so far, it's legally indistinguishable from Yonuh having given the truck away.

I agree... Only a couple of months?...
I'd take him to small claims court,... with any evidence you have...
Even if you have none,.. just tell the judge, the truth...

He may even just sign it back when he gets the summons... He knows he's in the wrong...

At the least, you'll have the satisfaction of dragging his ass to court...

PS... can something like "car fax" help you acquire proof of past ownership?...

If you kept the registration up... it should be yours.
a few months is not abandoned.
something stinks, like maybe he forged your sig on a bill of sale.
Take him to court and get the facts.
I guess you have to take him to small claims for the value of the truck.
It's your word against his regarding the permission to park it.

That is for the former friend who stole that truck from me. Apparently he had gotten a title loan on it for five grand then he totaled it at an intersection.
