I live in SoCal and I have a 2019 Honda accord I bought it with 7 miles brand new and I went to renew my registration 2 weeks and they told me I’m not the owner DMV investigator inspected my car confirmed it was mine and told me my VIN is on two other cars now they’re going after the cars with my VIN one was found already and second one was found yesterday DMV took possession of these two stolen accords. They had a fake title also I saw the dmv copy. I was told they is happening a lot. I’m so glad I was able to confirm I was the owner I had the title as well
Crazy. Thanks for sharing
That is insane thanks for sharing. The lengths some people will go to...
They basically somehow etched in your VIN on the other cars and also somehow produced these fake titles
I hope this forms happen to my truck lol
Woah that is a wild story!
I'm not worried. My car has the most effective anti-theft device known to Americans: Manual transmission.
Same here!
Overused and played out.
Delusional
Save the manuals💪
@@ADUSN Not as much as you'd think..... I asked my insurance broker about that and its a running theory in insurance agencies. Its not "proven" but many insurance agencies *DO* report that Manual cars are, in fact, stolen less.
I went to go buy a 6x6 but the carfax said it was only a 4x4...
In California most of the smash and grabs are done with stolen cars.
I believe Lucky didnt got lucky with new barber shop
I was working in the shop my hair was messy

What's 300 credit score activities?

My friend got his 2022 AT4 stolen in Texas. 4 weeks later a detective called him from LA asking to confirm his truck had been stolen. My friend confirm of course. The detective said a man purchased it for $30k cash from a private seller and found out the VIN was swapped while at the DMV. The dude lost the truck and cash. 😬
How did they find out ? Maybe when they did a vin verification ?
@@oegesauto5619 While at the DMV trying to register it. The VIN came back as another truck that was totaled. The state trooper on-site at the DMV was notified by the employee. They questioned the man and he proved his story and the detective took the investigation from there. I'm sure the insurance took the truck back or auctioned it. My buddy was paid out 3 weeks after they didn't find it - he got an overpriced Jeep with a high-interest rate now.
I bought a stolen bronco raptor here in arizona last year. Was on the news I lost 75 grand cash
Dude, where's my car?
Where my car dude?
lol greatest stupid movie from my early teen years
Just wanted to share knowledge of 1 legit case where the VIN number is weird and missing from the door jamb area: Gray market cars, which simply means the particular car was originally sold in another country and imported to the US later on. I have 2 of them, one from Germany and one from Japan. European VIN numbers look just like a 17-digit US VIN, but the check digit is different. Japanese cars usually have an 11 or 12-digit VIN. The first 5 or 6 will be the chassis code and the last 6 will be the production serial number. Most likely these cars will not have MPH anywhere on their speedometers (or any unit conversion button for digital ones), show temperatures in °C, have rear fog light(s) (looks like an extra brake light below the actual brake lights), have turn signal lights on the fenders behind the front wheels at about wheel-top height, "(!)" symbol parking brake light, the side mirrors on both sides are wide-angle like the passenger side mirror on US market cars, and they record the mileage in KM. I can tell you that in the event you encounter a gray market car for sale, make sure the seller has all the proper import documentation. STATE LEGAL and titled DOES NOT necessarily mean FEDERALLY LEGAL and vice a versa. General rule of thumb is if they're not at least 25 years old or older, walk away. If they weren't imported correctly, it's considered contraband, and much like a stolen car, the DHS will show up, confiscate it, and leave you with nothing.
A coworker told me that in the 70’s, he bought an old junker for $50 because he didn’t have any money. One night, it disappeared from his apartment parking lot in Texas so he reported it stolen. A month later, a police officer in Florida called him and told him that they found his car and he was going to have to pay the impound lot to get the car back. He told the cop to keep the car.
Now that car is getting 15k at auction.
LoL
Back in the day in college (late 80's) this one kid always got the best parking spots, like right up front for any bar/event. I finally asked him how he did this.
He tells me that he just parks it and ignores the tickets. After he gets 20 or 30 tickets the cops would tow the car, but since he only paid $100 for it, he would just go buy another $100 car. Every once in a while he would have to walk home from the bar/event as the tow would get towed. worth it.
Genius level stuff.
Worst recession in 50 years = everything that is valuable & can be moved will be a temptation for a$$holes. Protect your belongings accordingly.
It is abhorrent that the government isn't interested in how property crimes affect people in everyday life. Remember there are a certain group of politicians who believe that property crimes are not worth any effort and offenders dont need to be held accountable. It is very frustrating.
Police is there to protect government's business and property, not yours
@@levimachadoactually police officers have literally told me. We are not here to protect you. We are here to enforce the law.
Right, traitor Trump thinks no laws apply to him
They are there to collect revenue and beat their wives@@realestatenow
Thanks for this excellent cautionary video. I had no idea that thieves had gotten that creative. Carry On Sir.
Lucky got his 2000's hair going on today lol
Bro that thumbnail killed me 🤣😂☠️☠️
Lol😂
Same 😅😂
Once again very informative and helpful!
I'm feelin' safe spending the extra big $$ on the VIN window etching kit with nitrogen in my tires.😀
Good stuff!
dude my car was stolen in North Las Vegas this morning!!!! 7:30am while i was delivering my amazon packages, i got out the car and walked to customers door, and within 20 seconds they jumped in my car and drove away. The LVMPD recovered the car around 2:30pm. They only gave me 30 minutes to come pick it up or they had to tow it. So now i have to pay hundreds of dollars tomorow to retrieve my stolen car from the tow lot. How ridiculous and insane is that?!?!?! I hate North Las Vegas - that's why i try staying in Henderson as much as possible!
My wife told me it’s been going downhill over there fast. She grew up there and I lived down the street from her way before we met.
I’ve observed it has. I’d love to live close to Henderson or in Henderson too.
And your lesson from that ? = DON'T LEAVE THE FRIKKIN KEYS IN THE IGNITION !
@@InBrz Would also need to lock the door or they can steal the packages in the car. But then they can car jack him...
I live in TJ and work in San diego. Everyday when I cross back into. Mexico i see cars being taken away because they are probably stolen and trying to be resold in mexico
Taken away into Mexico or going back to USA?
@@Lightdog555Probably going back to US..😅
I never get scammed. I send a deposit site unseen or cash the sellers check and send them the difference. Works 100% of the time.
Moral of the story. Don't be greedy and be as humble as possible and you'll save yourself from lots of scams.
Especially at street takeovers. Insane.
Thank you for that information. I would love to see a video showing everything to check when buying a car to avoid getting scammed. Also maintenance wise as well would be awesome to no buy a lemon.
Good info, thanks
Would explain crazy drivers on the road too
Dawg Gawn. . 10-4 ... the repo man don't even stand a chance.. that's crazy man. 👍
Some cars have vin numbers and mileage encoded into the transmission TCU. If you have one of the better scan tools you can read them to compare to the vin plates and cluster mileage.
In this day and age, every piece of metal should be marked from factory & traceable.
Vins on the windshields make it easy for thieves to steal your car. Cover them!
You can get new keys cut from the vin number on certain vehicles.
Lucky didn't go into this because it would make the video too long. All this auto theft is related to insurance fraud. The owner has huge car payments, he wants to get out of the payments so he arranged for the car to be stolen. The thieves swap out the vins then sell it to someone who doesn't know to check this stuff. The increasing auto theft rate is really insurance fraud. In the next two years this will get much worse as people try to get out of these huge car payments.
Good info
That crown vic looks great
fun stuff coming soon
Nice watch!
I still didn’t understand how to identify a stolen vs legit car after watching the video. Need a summary of what to look for
Make sure the info in Carfax seems plausible. Find out where that particular car has VINs stamped and compare them. If possible find someone with a high end scanner and read the vin from whichever computer modules have it.
This thumbnail artist has me in pieces 😂
😁👍
This is crazy, some tool companies doing immo function’s are now going to require VSP to use them. Which most people aren’t using them to steal cars. They are using these technologies to steal vehicles
These problems are vastly understated. People are completely clueless to them. In some ways officials don't want everyone to know the ways how find out. Yet when it happens they only end up hurting victims and thieves keep on repeating. What is Rob Ferretti Caprice Donk doing in your shop. .
I bought a car from a dealer, turns out it was stolen and insurance paid out
Who knew
Crazy
That is how people are getting out of these high car payments.
W LUCKY LOPEZ!?!
If you get an engine replacement, how do you track the miles since it will be different from tour original?
Do you like that scanner any pros and cons? Would you buy it again? Or go with a different brand?
Do a vid on tools
Coming soon
I haven't bought a used car since my first car back in 2009. And I bought that from the DEALER.
Theft and fraud is so prevalent now that I'm not messing with used car lots.
I prefer leasing. The dealer can worry about depreciation and repairs for these high-tech nightmares.
I just leased a new 2024 Cadillac Lyriq AWD fully loaded Luxury 3 and I'm LOVING IT.
Nice Royal Oak
It’s a casiOak 😁

Montreal is the world capital of rolling back the clock and boxed cars
@stangleeze And known for shipping stolen vehicles to Africa. The theives don't bother to re-vin the vehicle or even take off the original license plates. This stolen vehicle activity has been happening for years now.
There are dedicated youtube channels in Russia that check cars for damages, milage rollback, vin numbers and accidents.
Another due diligence is to ask for maintenance records. If they have none = red flag.
Ask for photo ID of the seller and take a picture of it. Run a credit check on them. It's worth the $30.
No insurance with either party, ambulance not showing up, is worse problems that we created...
Put stationary tracker with sim card and airtag! Nobody will steal it
Is this happening to Honda civics and Toyota corollas, especially 7-8 year old used one?

What if you're buy used through Autotrader and owner still has a title lien? I'm looking to fiance through auto trader or my local bank. Will they handle all the title issues? Would it be harder for current owner to scam since they don't actually have the title? Thanks.
Back in the day, before electric odometers, turning back the miles was standard practice at most, if not all, new car dealerships on high mileage trade-ins.
fedex is being investigated for this practice right now or at least i don't think it has been settled yet. became public info last summer. they were swapping out odometers for new or lower mileage ones when the trucks were getting to end us for them and run them back up to over 100,000 then sell them but sometimes they actually had over 400,000 on them. they are saying this might be the biggest case of odometer fraud seeing it wasn't just a couple because of broken speedometers that just got replaced like they said that got overlooked but almost all their vans had odometer changes thru a certain time period that the authorities came up with doing the investigation. last i knew/heard fedex was blaming the company selling their used vans and that company was blaming fedex but then i lost track of the story how it played out or if it is still on going
I get my car serviced at a local garage. How do you go about getting information into Carfax?
I rebuilt my 99' clean title Tacoma from about 15 different trucks and a 4 runner. Lol. Sure check my VIN's your going to be so confused it ain't funny. The cab engine and rear axle are the ONLY VIN's that match! And it's not stolen, just rehabbed with the best salvage yard and private party sold pieces I could find! It's also titled a "Prerunner" but it's 4x4 now!
Car insurance cost will go up exponentially
Already have. Was looking for a new Miata, they want 450 full coverage on insurance. Settling for a Subaru Impreza instead at 250
Could you do a video on when bringing a non-runner back to life makes sense?
Coming soon
Yikes, a ton of variables with that topic.
What sort of risk is associated with buying a new vehicle from a dealership with regards to what you were mentioning? Should I just assume it's fraud and have a full vin inspection on all obvious places with a computer check. Or can I assume a local new car dealership is going to be legit?
Idiots tried to steal my Demon a couple years ago. Two friends of mine got their SRT's stolen.
We’ll get your demon too 🐱
Another situation I’ve come accross more than once .. seller loses original title , applies and gets a duplicate. Seller then finds original title and gives it to buyer. You goto dmv and they take the title ! Saying it’s not the newest one and that you need to contact seller for the newest title. This has plagued me twice over the years. Im going to start using your tip of seeing title number from car fax and comparing !
You can’t cheat an honest man because an honest man does not fall for something too good to be true.

My brother's car got stolen in Vegas
I’ve stolen many cars in Vegas. What is it, I might still have it 🤣
I want to go buy a Dodge, but the DMV told me it was a Stellantis, which is a foreign entity. I only buy American!
The authorities, whichever faction of government they come from, can try to take my car, but since we're all making up our own rules now, they might find themselves on the business end of a bad day. Just sayin' ... don't start nothing, there won't be nothing - BEEYATCHES!
"You can't cheat an honest man." - W.C. Fields. If people weren't trying to get the scmamer price, they wouldn't get scammed. Pay a fair price for your stuff and 9/10 it will be what you expect it to be.

I bought a 2022 Tacoma base model that uses an old fashioned key, no key fob, my son bought a 2023 Tacoma 4X4 with Manual trans and it uses a conventional key too! So the thieves can't get your key fob code to steal your truck! When I had my 2017 Mustang GT I used to wrap the key fob in aluminum foil when not in use to reduce chances of theft, what a pain!
Much easier to steal a vehicle with an ACTUAL key. It's harder to steal the fob cars. Don't ask me how I know. I love stealing cars. It's an addiction.
This is why Car Registration and titling needs to be federalized. Standardized across the entire 50 states one central database to verify VIN and Title, none of this every state does it different, that's crap and gives the A.H. thieves wiggle room to find flaws and fake the VIN and Title playing one state off the other.
That burglar on the R looks like McDonald’s Hamburgler
how does a dealer buy a stolen vehicle. it should be standard procedure for dealerships to check for all this. I did all this since my first used car I bought privately. if a dealership sells a stolen vehicle there license should be instantly revoked
Jesus Christ that Dart is filthy af inside out. How do some people have no pride in their car?
If its too good to be true, be wary
Do a video about all these fraudulent 'Texas Buyer' temp tags.....
They need undercover agents to shut them down
You say to walk into the DMV, and that the Texas DMV is not too helpful. When I walk into the Texas DMV, what specifically do I ask the DMV to do? thanks
it sucks. but if you dont want to lose money on a car its worth the headache
What specifically do you ask them to check?
What specifically should you ask the DMV to check?
There goes our insurance premiums 😭

Typical, only 68,000 miles for a Dodge. 😂
Boom
Why tf would you ever buy a car without a title? Don't most states DMVs require you to provide the title when you register the car?
Crooks selling to other crooks
Criminals will buy it and put fake /stolen plates on it.
Dont buy a new car, dont buy a used car... yep, stop buying damn cars. At least its gonna pretty quickly fix prices issue. How long do you think manufacturers will tolerate dealers tricks if lets say sales gonna drop even 40-50% for a few months? People f-ck themselves by tolerating this stuff, as always... in other words people who are buying cars deserve the level of respect they get from the dealers.
The auto industry is notorious for ripping people off lol
That’s why I buy expensive e-bikes lol
Modern cars have onstar and GPS. Why can't they just track the cars?
That would make too much sense.imagine actually getting proper service from something you paid for?

I dont sell cars. they take them to auction
@@LuckyLopez777 oh! I just figured you did!
People steal Dodge cars? I've been trying to give mine away.
I lived in Phoenix from 90-94. I had a Toyota 4X4 Truck. Everyone at work said "They're going to steal it..."
I fixed it
I put paste wax on my entire truck. I didn't buff it out.
Sand, Dust, Dirt, everything stuck to it. It looked like an atomic bomb hit it.
When I wanted to go on a date I just buffed it out and it looked like new.
The following day it put more wax on it.
For some reason I didn't go on many dates.
The Mexican cartels & ISIS loves the Toyota 4X4 Truck..😂😂

I worked ten years in the insurance side and we went out to investigate all sorts of fraud sales. The hardest were gray market cars that were built for say Canada but resold in the US or vice versa.
Miles is just a number…like your age. 😂
After you said “VIN Number” for the 3rd time, I couldn’t take it anymore and had to stop watching.😁
when i say vin. people ask what it is so i have to say vin number lol
