Are You Buying a Stolen Vehicle?
Summary:
Auto theft is a serious crime, with vehicles being stolen frequently. In the U.S., vehicles must have Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) and be registered with a licensing authority, which helps prevent the resale of stolen cars.Article:
Auto theft involves more than just cars; it includes buses, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and trucks. It's a felony due to the significant emotional and financial impact on victims and society.
Every minute, numerous vehicles are stolen. Terms like "carjacking" (stealing a vehicle from its owner) and "joyriding" (taking a vehicle for a short thrill ride before abandoning it) highlight the extent of this issue.
Authorities have implemented measures to deter vehicle theft. In the U.S., vehicles must have a VIN and be registered, making it difficult to sell a stolen car.
The FBI reports that a vehicle is stolen every 25 seconds, with less than a 50% recovery rate. Car thieves often replace VIN plates to sell stolen vehicles, leaving unsuspecting buyers at risk.
How to Protect Yourself:
1. Check the VIN: Before buying a car, inspect the VIN on the dashboard and compare it with the title documents. Inconsistencies could indicate a problem.
2. Verify Multiple Locations: Larry Gamache of Carfax advises, "Match the VIN under the hood and on the driver's side door jamb. Ensure it matches in all three places."
While auto theft is common, maintaining your vehicle is important. Look for quality parts like Ford Excursion parts and Ford accessories at reputable suppliers. Quality checked parts can enhance your vehicle’s performance and keep it in top condition.
