Re: responsibility on a stolen vehichle
Yes. Under the terms of your auto loan, it's probably your responsibility to insure the vehicle against theft and damage. If the vehicle is recovered, it'll be returned to you or if it needs to be sold, the loan company is obligated to credit your account with the proceeds of the sale.
