Years ago I worked for a company that put values on cars that were total losses due to theft or accident. We ended up with one case where a guy went to a house where there was a high end Mercedes for sale. He ended up beating up and tying up the owner and took the title to the car. He then drove the car across town and sold it to someone else. The buyer didn't suspect anything because the seller had the signed title and was asking a fair price for the car so all seemed up and up until he got pulled over a few days later by the police because the car had been reported as stolen.
