So... I get a call from the Police department I believe... And they tell me my car has been found and where it's currently located. Now... What do I do from here? Notify the insurance company the car has been found? Will anything happen to the title?

I've already gone to look at it/snap pics and I'm arranging plans to pick it up 2mrw. I'd like to find out what will happen with the title b4 I go and sell it off as a clean title to someone and get called out for being a scammer of some sort(Which I'm not....).

Did you have full coverage? If the insurance declares it total then it would become a Salvage title I believe

No it was on liability and I got no compensation from the insurance company.

Correct, it was on liability but I did report it stolen to them... So I should definatly call them and tell em its been recovered?

yeah, so it will basically be a clear title with a stolen/recovered record on the carfax

Well the policy has already been canceld for the car... I still need to report it to them? Im not sure they giva fuck after the policy's been canceled. If I dont call them and say something will the title still be alright?

It's still clean if no claim is made on it.

Aight well I made a claim that it was stolen. I jsut called and told them its been recovered. I'm waiting on a phone call for 2mrw. But with it being on liability im 99% positive that the title is fine. The lady on the phone told me they have nothing to do with the title on liability, its up to the dmv.....

Cool. I'll see 2mrw if the insurance company did or not.
