You tend to lose out.
Where did you buy the car from?

Always check and check again the cars I'd and v5.

Does the op have posting rights/power in this section?

If you bought without doing some basic checks, and especially if you paid below market price, then you may have to claim compensation against yourself for failing to look after your own interests. If you took reasonable precautions but were unlucky, then you will most likely have to shrug and put this down to a bad experience. I am sorry, but there is no central agency for sorting out stuff in life that does not go well, and sometimes rubbishy things just happen.

He may be granted the rights if he clicks "report" & asks the mods to allow him to.

Are you saying that the police should re-imburse you for the cost of the car so you aren't out of pocket?

Or that the actual owner of the car shouldn't get their car back?

Is this not the 2nd BMW X6 scam on this forum within a few weeks, or is this the same car posted under a different user name?

I am sure I heard this story not long ago.
Did you post a while back, couple of months or so ago ?
