just contact the local police of wherever the car is and let them know the whereabouts of the stolen car. They will take it from there. Even if Phil did still have title to this car, what’s he gonna do? Fly to a different country, “steal” the car back, and export it to Canada?

once you surrender the title to the insurance company it’s no longer your car. You have zero obligation to take it back even if it’s found in perfect condition.

If he don't need his lovely car back then Phil just simple sold the car and after call the police to get one more price from the insurance company.

There is a professional auto theft ring operating in that city and it is sophisticated enough to get the car out of the country very quickly(within three months). The local jurisdiction who took the original report should be made aware of this information so they can update their investigation. While the case is closed to the original owner I’m sure the police investigators are still working thefts in the area by the same group. They will most definitely follow up with the police in the city where the car is currently located. It would be a huge feather in their cap to close down an auto theft ring.

Here you go kids Sales ad that this dude stole the pictures from

Now the question is: Was this car stolen and exported to Dubai?

There’s a good chance that this is the same car in the photos (same mods, factory build spec, North American built car possibly Canadian). Also the listing dealer matches part of what reads on the dealer plate on the car, but hard to tell. However I doubt anything can/will be done at this point since the car is now in another country on the other side of the world and the owner has made a settlement with the insurance company so the car now belongs to them. If it was possible to get the car back I think it would take a lot of effort and money which likely the insurance company isn’t willing to do as they’ve moved on.

Hello everyone,
Yes car is in DUBAI, I have checked, its in perfect condition. Phil has made a settlement with the insurance company already, so its done. I think that showroom doesn't know that the car is stolen, they pay money for it, and now they are trying to sale it.

What about the VIN # ? Does it not get reported to Porsche as stolen?

They must have got wind as the ad is no longer up.

How can someone get away with this. Crazy that you can move the car, wash the title, or not, and resell it.

Ya, crazy and scary.
My guess is, the insurance company, if they give a crap about the 250k (estimate of payout) is they'll go after the selling party overseas, as the selling party, whether they know or dont know, are still in possession of stolen property
Also, too, I'm sure this is much more complicated once stolen goods are exported...I'd like to see how this plays out for curiosity's sake....

what's interesting to me, our law pertains to our state, (or federal state in this case I believe ((and I think CA law is same or similar), is how the law changes once the stolen goods are exported...

Dont alot of stolen highend cars end up in dubai?

This thread is frightening! A stolen GT car was found in another country for sale and there seems to be little reaction to it. The OP/Owner reached out to RL for help when the car was first stolen. Now that it has been found it would be nice to know what he has done about it and who he has informed. Without something being done about this I believe it gives a license to all thieves that these cars are not just fair game but also extremely lucrative for them.
