Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio
Car stolen by theft by deception
We sold a car to person A. He gave us a forged certifed bank check and false info on himself. He sold the car to B, B sold it to C. The police recovered it from C. We are now being told since C purchased it from someone other than A we can not keep the car. The judge will not give us the paper work to get a title to put the car in our name. What do we do now? Does C legally own the ''stolen'' car?

No. There was never colean title on the car when B or C bought it. You will need to sue C & B in a civil suit for conversion and replevin.
