Car sales fraud schemes seem to be cropping up everywhere lately, enough to make any attentive buyer nervous. One recent example involves hundreds of classic cars allegedly stolen by a dealer’s business partner and then sold off to unsuspecting buyers.

One such buyer had police take his 1934 Ford Coupe a full three years after he’d purchased it. Cases like this show how the fallout from fraud can blindside innocent owners long after a sale.
