My New To Me Car Burned Down On The Drive Home With The Title Inside, Will Ignoring The Tow Company Until They Take It To Auction Negatively Impact Me?
I bought a $900 car private party, and it caught on fire and burnt to a crisp on my drive home. The title the seller and I signed was in the vehicle, and I hadn't gotten it registered to me yet as it was a Sunday and the DOL was not open. The seller has a Report Of Sale that we both signed(not sure if he has submitted it yet, if he submits it then he is legally not responsible to pay for the towing fees), but that is the only paperwork for the car we have at the moment. The state trooper had the car towed, but both him and the tow company said they couldn't take it to a salvage yard since I wasn't able to sign the title over to them. The tow truck driver suggested ignoring them until it goes to auction, will that negatively impact me? Don't really want to pay the $300 towing bill plus $175 every day it sits in their lot. Not sure what I would do with the pile of melted metal and glass of I go to retrieve it(I think I need to prove I own the vehicle to retrieve it, which I can't do since it's not registered to me and the title burned in the fire).
