Question:
Kenneth West agreed to sell his car, a 1975 Corvette, to a man representing himself as Robert Wilson. In exchange for a cashier’s check, West signed over the Corvette’s title to Wilson. Ten days later, when West learned that the cashier’s check was a forgery, he filed a stolen vehicle report with the police. However, the police did not locate Wilson or the Corvette, and the case grew cold.
Nearly two and a half years later, West asked the police to run a check on the Corvette’s vehicle identification number. The check revealed the name and address of Tammy Roberts. Roberts, who held the certificate of title, had purchased it from her brother, who in turn had purchased it in response to a newspaper ad. West filed suit against Roberts to establish legal ownership of the Corvette. Is West entitled to regain possession and title to the Corvette from Roberts?
