Found craigslist listing that I'm 90% sure has a stolen item, who do I report it to?

[EightySix Four]

Helping my friend car shop, we came across a vehicle for dirt cheap, upon opening the listing it says it can only be registered in Mexico (this is in Dallas) and not to register it in the U.S. Every thing about it is sketch and I'm pretty sure we're looking a stolen vehicle. Who do I report it to?

 

[sandorski]

obviously ATOT.....you need to ask?

Alright, well ATOT, I found a possibly stolen black 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche in the Dallas area.

Yep.

how about myofb?

I'd want someone to report it if someone was trying to sell my stolen car and it seemed fishy to them.

 

[PhoKingGuy]

Based on the fact they know the border prices, there's a chance they are repeat thieves. I'd rather them get locked up then steal my car.

Holy fucking shit you really can't figure out who to report this to? Really?

Them: Dallas PD how may I help you?
Me: I found a vehicle for sale that seems suspicious, wanted to report it
Them: Why is it suspicious?
Me: Uh... the seller only speaks spanish, it's really cheap, they don't have the title, and said it can't be titled in the U.S.
Them: Do you have the vin?
Me: No.
Them: License plate?
Me: No.
Them: Sellers name?
Me: Only the one listed on craigslist
Them: Address?
Me: Nope
Them: Well what the fuck do you want us to do about it?

 

[Mike Gayner]

Jesus christ you're a moron.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Maybe he speak bad ingles and means it's been registered in Me hi co not US?

 

[EightySix Four]

Jesus christ you're a moron.

No, I live in a high crime city with an underfunded and understaffed police force and nothing more than a hunch that a vehicle may be stolen.

Don't Texas Rangers live for shit like this?

Maybe the real name is Medina

 

[redgtxdi]

Well, if your friend's generally interested, I'd definitely go look at it, get the VIN, take pics, find as much info as you can about the truck and then tell them you'll let them know.

Call the police & give them the details to see if they can find out if it was stolen or not.

 

[mugs]

how about myofb?

WTF, why should he? Car theft is not a victimless crime. If the car is stolen he may help someone recover their stolen car. If it's not stolen he'll have done no harm.
