Yes, there is obviously more to this story. The person involved claims to be an identity theft victim and there is a police report in LA from year 2000, following the home burglary where some of his personal documents were stolen.

But ... the CAR ended up in his possession! Is he alleging that someone fraudulently rented the car in his name and then GAVE it to him??

Nope, he is alleging that someone used his identity to rent a car in LA. The car didn't end up in his possession, it was impounded in NY 3 years later with some of his documents in it.

So, he just happened to be IN NY, the mystery thieves happened to fraudulently rent the car and then bring it to NY, and the alleged suspects just happened to leave some papers of his in the car for three years. Sounds ... curious (as in, "unbelievable"). He'd better hope that those docs are old and yellowed, or otherwise dated pre-theft. Of course, most rental companies have video surveillance and chances are there is a picture of the person doing the renting, and we can also assume that the renter presented a driver's license with a name and photo ... all of this put together would be a HECK of a frame job, or, a helluva coincidence bordering upon the utterly fantastic.

Well, at least he might have an argument to provide his attorney ... but, he ain't gonna get out of the warrant yelling, "It wasn't me!"

You are a sad, sad person, CourtClerk. I'm sure that there are forums out there more suitable for the likes of you.

Last time I looked, polite people said "Thank you" when provided with legally correct information.
