It is just a matter of time before a lawyer who happens to be a car nut will pick up on this issue and provide assistance to Mr White. I will also say this may not turn out well for Mr Sitton or Mr Stanley -- it appears they are both may be felons at this point. Mr Sitton and Mr White will be out a lot of $$ when they have to defend their actions in court.

The sol on possession of stolen property has not run. He is still in possession, and had reason to believe it was stolen when he bought it with no title.

Just need to know two things: Did the original owner report it as stolen? Seems academic, but if it isn't on the national list, he has a problem.

Secondly, did he collect insurance money? If so, he has no right to the car. I am guessing he did not if the original story is accurate, as it plainly states he has the title in his possession. Had he accepted the insurance proceeds, he would have surrendered the title to the insurer who now has the best claim to the vehicle.

Lynn, to answer a couple of your questions and to the best of my understandings, A)He DID report it stolen and B)He did NOT have insurance on the car as it was a race car at the time.

I have a hard time believing the law is that much different in Oregon. Doesn't matter if the sol has run. It is still his property. Doesn't make any difference whether the original thief can be prosecuted. Somebody is in possession of stolen property.

Wish I knew a good lawyer in Oregon (good lawyer... now that's just funny). I would send the owner to that guy.

Keith -- I strongly believe there is more than one RAT involved ... this is bordering on a conspiracy!

Oregon gear head lawyers -- Mr White needs assistance!!
