<prompt> Human: My brother was at a car wash getting his car washed our father owns the car wash, when somebody came and told him his car was just taken away by a tow truck. My brother then proceeded to call the police to find out whats happening. Police came and found the tow truck that took it. He called and they apologized, saying they thought it belonged to a Matthew which is not my brother and that they made a mistake. They told him to bring the title and registration and he can take it back. He then proceeds to call the DMV to make sure he has everything in order to get the car back. The DMV then states that his name is not on the title, that the dealership had never turned over the title to him hes had the car for over a year, but it shows that he paid for the title and registration. He then tries to call the dealership.nobody picked up and it looks like they are out of business. He then calls a number that the DMV gave him to a bank that owns the title to the car. Bank tells him they are very confused because the title was sold to them in December of 2015, but the car was sold to my brother in November 2015. They said they will launch an investigation and see what they can do. So my brother sits back and wait because theres nothing he can do except wait. The next day the bank calls and said that the dealership sold them the title to the car in December of 2015 and it belongs to them, basically tells him too bad so sad, and to take it up with the dealership he bought it from. But because theyre out of business, theres no way to contact them. He called the police and some detectives from the fraud department and they told him theres really no much they can do, hes basically screwed out of a few thousand dollars. The car was 100 paid off in cash at the dealership and hes had it for over a year. Isnt it weird that the bank just now repossessed it? The DMV gave him a special number to call for the compliance enforcement to see if they can do anything. My brother now has no car and has missed work for two days. Is there anything more we should be doing? TL;DR Brother got his paid-off car towed because the dealership sold him the car, but a month later sold the title to a bank. They wont give it back to him.  <response>: rlegaladvice would be a good place to post too
