Theft & Recovery Tips

Strategic advice for securing your vehicle and managing flagging records.

Action Plan: If Your Report Flags a Theft Marker

1. Do Not Finalize the Purchase

If a stolen marker appears, immediately cease negotiations. Purchasing a stolen vehicle means you have no legal title to it, and it will be seized by the police.

2. Contact Local Authorities

Provide the registration and VIN to your local police station. They can verify if the theft marker is current or if it's a residual flagging error.

3. Report the Seller

If you suspect the seller is knowingly selling a stolen vehicle, contact the non-emergency police number or Action Fraud (UK) / FBI IC3 (US).
