Hey, how you doing?. Please i need help with some information about stolen vehicles.
================
the plates on my car was stolen lat week, can i put report on them?
Yes, you can and you should. Go to a police agency and ask them to complete the MV-78B form for Report of Lost or Stolen Motor Vehicle Items, for your stolen plates. That form is a police exclusive.
Do you require more information on that matter?
Yes, i would like to receive more information about it, please.
No problem. To get more information on that subject, you can see the Report or Replace Lost or Stolen Plates section.
================
Ok. i'll do that later. Another question, if my plates would been missing instead of robbed, what i would have to do then?
If that was the scenario, you only was needed to bring a copy of form MV-78B to a DMV office and apply for a new set of plates, besides reinstatement of your registration.
================
That would have been easier. Oh, well. Look i need to know, there's this friend of mine whose car was stolen and he hadn't been issued his title, what he can do in that case?
Do i understand that your car was stolen before you applied for a registration and title?
No, not me, him. My friend's car was stolen before he could apply for registration and title.
================
Anyway, it doesn't matter, better continue with my doubts. In my case, if my car were stolen and not only the plates, I would need a title replacement?
I mean, like the title was lost because it was inside the car?
Well, yeah. If that were the case, certainly you should apply for a replacement title as soon as possible, to prevent any real damage. You can check Replace a Title Certificate section for more information.
