Theres no details of this "stolen" car so there could be something amiss.
Seeing as the OP is a woman it wouldnt surprise me if its an ex boyfriends car and she has kept all the paperwork at her house when they've split and told him she's binned it all. Now she's put the book in her name and is trying to be a twat and saying the car is stolen so she gets it off him and can sell it herself
