You don't get to keep it.

Quoted from rudygulp42:Cars would only be able to be transfred if the seller has a title. So unless the buyer is dumb and does not receive a title with the car, I'm not sure how this would play out.
There are other ways to prove ownership (especially for classic cars). Some states nowadays no longer issue titles for cars over 15 years old. Alabama, Georgia, and Connecticut are examples of states that do not issue titles for classic cars. All you need is a bill of sale.
Then there are thieves who change VIN tags to obtain a clear title.
Of course like most things that are stolen, the owners usually file police reports after the theft too which means if it is found, the person who purchased the stolen car will have it seized and returned to the rightful owner. They are SOL for not checking the car out more thoroughly before buying it.
