How Do You Recover A Stolen Car?
Every 32.2 seconds, a car is stolen in the United States. Not many people know exactly what to do when they walk out into a parking lot and discover their car is missing. It may take awhile to recover, but here are some steps to help you get closer to locating your stolen car. Call 911 as soon as possible to report your car stolen. Fill out a Stolen Vehicle Report at your local police station. It’s important to have information like your vehicle’s VIN number, make, and model of the car, a copy of the vehicle’s registration and insurance, and any recent pictures of the car readily available so the police can conduct a thorough search. Notify your insurance company and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Some insurance carriers, as well as the DMV, have databases of hundreds of stolen and/or recovered vehicles, which will expedite the process of recovery, as they often work directly with local law enforcement to recover stolen cars. Call a few tow car companies in your area. See if they do
