Purchased stolen car without known it was

A friend of mine had similar - the police weren’t a massive amount of help and in the end he took the seller to court (and won). 

He’s being repaid £50 per month by the seller.

And how many years before your friend gets his money back?

Never, because the seller will only pay for a few months before disappearing.

Still a few years to go yet - from memory the court case was just before COVID. 

To be fair they’ve not missed a payment, but given it was a fairly large sum of money it’s a bit of a pee-take that they got away with £50 per month.

Incorrect - currently a good few years in and still going!

But they can only pay what they can afford. 🤷‍♀️
