It is good to see you have come to your senses. I was wondering why you described how you made a mistake in trusting this guy and then your asking us if you should trust this guy. There is no one on this board that is going to go along with that.
File charges and file a claim with your insurance for a stolen car. Let them try to get the money out of this guy.

Press charges against him, now. Then contact the insurance company if it was truly insured and see what they say - hope they will cover your loss.

Capital One basically gives signature loans based on your credit rating. You do have to put them on the title as a lienholder, but they dont ask any detailed questions about the car you are buying when you apply.

Here is what I think you should do. You bought a car, and insured the car. I would report the car stolen and press charges against Les. Next I would call the insurance company and file a claim for the car being stolen. I would believe that since you titled, licensed, and insured the car you should be covered in this case and would hope you took out full coverage insurance since you have a loan out on the vehicle. Good luck.
Logic would recommend seeking aggressive legal representation, NOW! File all and any pertinent charges IMMEDIATELY by informing the local authorities in BOTH your area of residence, AND, also where "Les" resided. These charges may list not only possible fraud and misrepresentation, but, also theft and possibly failure to do business without a license (i.e., Dismantler's License), etc.. An experienced attorney will advise you on these and other possible considerations and options for your recourse. Furthermore, allow the Detective that had previously contacted you to be involved, for he is privy to this case, AND, most importantly, he may also serve to be of further assistance to investigate the current whereabouts of this reprehensible individual. Moreover, retaining the services of a contract lawyer, ASAP, can be of further benefit to you by assisting you in filing any and all claims (i.e., your auto insurance, etc.), liens, and, judgement's against any real estate property "Les" may own. Good luck to you. And, do let us know how it all turns out.

Capital one will issue a loan for a salvage title, and it was bought from a dealer. I only had liability insurance because i was not driving the car and i couldn't have full coverage until the insurance company inspected the car. I will be seeking legal assitance and pressing charges as soon as the detective returns my call.
if your thinking of getting a salvage title vette, learn from this and DON"T. Being a cheap *** on a car like this is just dangerous. I know every situation is different but most of the time, that car is titled salvage for a reason

from what i understand lets say he has a house/property if you get a judgment against him you can get a lean on his stuff so that if and when he sells it you get your money from the sale of it. i dont think they can force him to sell his stuff and remember if he has a loan on it the bank gets theres first(forclosure). jmho
p.s. i also belive the courts can only seize his property if there are drug selling or making on it?

I agree with filing charges against this jerk. Good luck on recovering any of your loss here.
Sounds like several of us in here have a brother-in-law like this ***.

We're taught to trust and to be trusted. Life experiences teach us the real world. You're a young man and this is one lesson you will never forget. We all in some form go thru this and it's never easy no matter how old you are. Hope insurance helps you out, my guess is this guy has nothing to give and no intention to do so.
Good luck Chris.
Good luck Chris.
