hi there i have a question about my stolen vehicle
they wont tell me who is involved or anything really for that matter, now this has been going on for about a month or two and the man at the cid is now saying i need to go and give a written statement and possibly go to court over the car.
now im really angry as i have already lost my job due to working long distance and have no car now, im the legal owner and want my car back!!
now the questions are is this the normal procedure ?
do police have the right to keep car untill they find who stole it?
as its my car am i not entitled to get it back any sooner life is a major struggle without it afterall i worked hard to buy a car to make my daily life easier,
regards

How did they get into the vehicle to obtain the key?
Is your car insurance involved?0 -
the boot did not lock and there was no insurance held on vehicle it was on private land0

As I understand it, they can only keep the car if it's evidence in another crime.Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?0 -
who could i seek advice from.. a motoring solicitor?0

How were you using it for work if you had no insurance?
Apologies if the job loss/long distance thing aren't related.What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?0 -
Where did the Police find the car? Was it used in a crime, petrol theft maybe?0

the police found car in manchester but not used in other crime police being really useless and treating me asif im the criminal
this is why i seek advice0 -
What has been said about the written statement and going to court? Are they implying they have concerns about it being uninsured?
I think your best option is to find a local solicitor, preferably one that deals with motoring law, but that's probably not necessary, and discuss it with them because there are probably nuances being missed.0 -
If teh vehicle is subject to an on-going enquiry, it does not surprise me that they have not released it yet."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0
