I recently was arresstred after the police came to my house about a stolen
car that i had purchesed from a third party just days prior. I was made to
believe the car was owned by the person that sold it to me. I bought what
was sold to me as a parts car that was not running and look like it had
scavanged through for a while it had to be towed to my residence see i was
running ads iso a honda motor for my car i just needed the engine only but
the guy was selling it as a whole car and not parting things out so i bought
the whole car i got a bill of sale but the Title was lost according to the
man i didnt make a fuss over it because again i was only after the motor and
figured getting a new title cant be that hard to get. so nothing seemed to
strange about the car or the sale i have bought 4 or 5 car with the same
issue with the titles to them.
So one day i turned the corner to my house to find there are several cops at
my house i get out of my car and am approach by a cops and questioned about
the car i told them the details about the purchese but the problem was i
didnt have the title and the keys to the car there was 3 keys on the key
ring well after the officers pointed this out to me there was 2 other keys
that was "shaved" and the third one was a regular key i told the officers
the truth that was that when i got the vehicle the car was un hooked from
being towed and pushed into my driveway and key removed and thrown in my
bedroom i never really examined them up until they had examined the keys
that day so between the keys and the title not being in hand i was arrested
and charged with pc 496 D(a) i to tell them about the man who sold me
the car and was going to give them his phone number but they didn't care who
i got the car from. Also they wanted to search my home because they said
they need the license plates to the car i said i got the car in piece's so i
don't know where the plates were if there ever was some that is what i told
the officers and they never recovered the plates from my home ?(why did they
need the plates) i know in California they passed prop 47 that any theft of
property $1000 or less is not a felony is that something i should ask my P.D
for i have to go to court today and i don't want any charge to be honest i
did not know it was stolen nor did i steal it but i don't know what to ask
for please help
