Unbelievable.
Mankind is smart enough to send spaceships zipping around the solar system.
But stupid enough to repeatedly get into these vehicle title deals.
Your criticism is noted but you offer no advice. The person has moved the motorcycle to another state and I have lost contact with him. Obviously I made a mistake but I came to this forum for advise, not to be reprimanded by you. If you can't offer any advice what good are you.
How can I find out if this person has tried to register this motorcycle in another state? If he has is that not a felony? I believe he has gone back to NY somewhere. I see my bike on his facebook page but he does not answer messages left there.
If you want to try to find out if a vehicle is registered in a given state, contact that state's DMV and ask how you might perform a VIN check. As you're letting him use the motorcycle without paying for registration or insurance, and with your plates, he has little incentive to try to forge a title.
You should also consider calling NJ MVC and ask if your plates were turned in or if any duplicate title was issued. If he was able to get a duplicate title, he could have forged you signature and retitled the bike in his name. Did you give him your bike registration when he took the bike?
