When a stolen car is discovered after 37 years who is the cars rightful owner?
This question has yet to be answered in a unique case involving a 1965 Ford Mustang that was went missing back in May of 1970 and was only recently discovered. San Diego Police Department Auto Theft detectives recently notified Eugene Brakke that his ’65 Mustang, which had been missing for 37 years, had been found. However, there was only one small hitch, the woman who possessed the car received it as a high school graduation gift from her father the same year it went missing. What do you think folks...Who is the rightful owner of this car? |

As far as I'm concerned...the guy that paid for the car in the first place is the rightful owner. Now, how the heck did this lady's dad get the car? That's what I'd like to know.I guess life in California isn't as simple as it is here in Mayberry!

I agree with Otis, the rightful owner is the original owner. There have been many court cases ruled upon that were under similiar circumstances. Maybe a few of you will remember the lost Cobra Coupe? I was within 30 foot of the car where it had been locked and hidden for over 20 years in California. It made major headline stories in magazines, newspapers etc all around the country. The Lady, burned herself alive together with her pet rabbit, no wonder I could never get a deal cut with her>> The car turned into a nitemare as it was worth literally millions of dollars, in bad shape mind you. Believe to my best knowlegde, Phil Spectrum, yes, spectrum records and more, was this ladies ex husband, seems a HUGE legal battle pursued. Point to be learned here, never buy an expensive car that has possible TITLE issues, one never knows when a past owner will pop up and maybe take it all away. I would bet that the guy got his Mustang back, even though the Lady or her Father had a title, wanna bet!!!!! JOHN
