Sounds like the boyfriend needs help too. Have you tried to reach out to him and see if he will settle things amiably?

...be sure to ask him to drive the car to the meeting.

I guess that's what stolen-car reports & bench warrants are for, but at that point it's kinda hard to retain the "boyfriend" status.Don't know where he is. Yet.
(gasp) (stunned) WOW... I have gone "bare" before, but I at least got minimum liability.
So, if this guy gets in an accident, and the other driver wants millions for whiplash and/or whatever, she's toast.
Martha, how much time elapsed between the car and BF missing, and being hounded about the ticket? If this was more than a day or two (I thought he was coming back...), maybe that is why the police are not being helpful.
If your car is stolen, you report it. If you don't, it is a little suspicious to report it only after some problem has come up, and maybe the police just are not real excited about getting in the middle of a domestic dispute.

We're delving into distant memories here to get back to my days as an auto theft detective, but I'll do my best.Any ideas anyone? This is Wisconsin I am talking about.
The police would not take a stolen car report because she does not have the title. She can't get a duplicate title (to report it stolen) because she does not know the VIN.
A person I know owned a car with her boyfriend. The title was only in her name because he had DUIs. They split up. He disappeared with the car and its title. Now he is somewhere parts unknown, he got a ticket and she is getting chased to pay the ticket. She doesn't want the stinking car.

Sounds like I/she should talk to a lawyer.

As a person with 8 years in the auto financing industry, and experience dealing with vehicle titles on new point-of-sale contracts, I find some of the info provided by the OP in this thread to be a bit hard to believe.
Oh boy. A used car guy questioning the veracity of a lawyer. Where else but this forum can you get so much for your entertainment dollar?

Maybe she's not giving you all of the information, or is not working on this problem as thoroughly as you are.
Without a release signed on the title, the boyfriend could not have transferred title into his name. Therefore the current title, as well as the current registration, are both in the female's name. With those two documentation pieces in place, there's no way the state of Wisconsin DMV will not provide her with any assistance. She has 100% legal right of ownership. There's no grey lines here. At worst, the state may require a notarized written request to receive a copy of the registration, and charge a small fee.
A state DMV is not going to deny the request of information to a person who, in every legal sense, retains unequivocal legal ownership of a specific vehicle.
Well Grouchy old Jeff, you must have lived a sheltered life. With no daughters or nieces. Or high school GFs who took to dating lowriders.The most amazing thing to me in this thread is that some young lady would share her bed and automobile with a loser.
