You can challenge the case in the court of law if you want to and am very sure you gonna win.

You can post your original vin # and they can decode that one too.

Compare the engine # and there should be another vin# on the doors and some other part of the car

What happened to mine, can I trace this number to a vessel, importer or any other help because the police have lost all ideas in this, that's the help I want.

Sorry to hear that Baba Spyder. I googled that Vehicle Identity Number(VIN) but it didn't come back with anything, it shows it has been tampered with. Try and google the one you've got on your document.

Thanks man, I just posted mine so they can help me.

Oga spyder like Fhemmy said, free the matter. Live in peace you have been with all this while, knowing who stole it will only cause enmity. And remember I am yet to build my house and so much to still learn. Just let it be.

call a friend to bring police b4 it is to late if the car should move u need to follow it and keep in touch with the police

This actually true bro,dont let them get away with it.Through ur investigation u might even help the police to reveal other atrocities committed by these fellows.If the car is theirs why should they run away.If u dont follow them up then u are helping the criminals win in this country.Success in ur search o

Hi Spyder, there's no O and I in the Vin nos.

Oga Spyder,
From your narratives, it's clear from the action of the guy you saw the car with, that he wasn't an innocent buyer of a stolen car.
Besides seeing the VIN is just on an attached plate, it could easily have been replaced with a random one from old spare junk yard.
One clear thing here is that both the police and the law courts may not have the resources to do a proper investigations. I even doubt if electronically sourced documents (VIN report) is admissible in the courts yet.
Now, unfortunately too, they just wrecked the car.
This time I think you should sit down and count the cost of pursuing the case and recovering a wrecked car. I know how it feels, it could probably be your first car and with the emotions, hard to let go.
But then it's up to you.

Thanks to the best invention of the century www
@oga spyder,Is this above info is the correct one for your car

Well.. Could be you bought the car with the wrong VIN documented on your documents... years later, car was stolen and the right VIN was documented for the new buyer or probably by the people who stole your car.. just wondering though but it could be possible.. anything goes in naija o..

Good, the truth is coming out gradually.

Sunny vs Bluebird

This scenario could b traceable 2 d car dealer. I know f cases where d car dealers sent criminals 2 recover a car that is already sold. The similarities in the documents is also suspicious.

Igwe.:
Hello, you can still confirm if his own chassis number is real or fake by running a check on it, there's possibility that the combination is violated or it's for another car with different spec.
Goodluck!

this should help confirm the altered numbers

what an enlivened experience , i wish you get this issue sorted so this criminals can be jailed .
Honestly I'm afraid to drive to occasions and recreational spots this days cos of the high car theft rate especially in Lagos.
May God help us in this country. wish you the best in unraveling this mystery...............................

ckenneths: First thing I did was to circle the car, looking other marks and making sure I had up to 5 different things I recognized about my stolen car. The registration number was different from my old car but that was to be expected. So I walked away like 20 meters and made a call, I was calling a friend to come running to the scene with policemen since I don't really know the town very well and trying to stop whoever came to the park with this car alone will be suicidal. The friend I called promised to come with some policemen, so I calmly walked back to the scene and that was when my brain shifted into gear. I switched on my camera and took a clear shot on the car with the registration number, plus the man who has walked out and is standing around the car with his side to me. The picture is attached below.

all you needed here was take pictures then deflate all the tyres, the wasnt going to move am sure there were not able to sort out all four tyres before the police came
