Alright so about a month ago I bought a Mazda from a private owner. The title was clean and the VIN number matched so I thought it was a good deal. I went and registered the car in my state and transferred the title and got insurance. Well a couple of days ago I was at work and was called by the police department to come out to my car. Apparently a girl had noticed that the hatch on my car had a sticker in the window that had been from her car and called the police because it had come off her car that had parts stolen from it. All the doors, the hood and the bumpers had allegedly stolen from her. I don't know how she can prove 100% that they are hers but the police were talking about taking my car to the impound and taking the parts off the car! Fortunately they let me drive the car home until they could find out what they need to do. I have looked around the internet for a story like mine to find out what my rights are as an unsuspecting buyer but no luck. I have no idea what I can do because I don't want to be out a car or the doors. So far I have gotten no call back from the police department. If you know any laws about used car purchases in Idaho any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
