Wow, new stolen trucks from Michigan, not reported by Ford, get bought by an Arizona dealership, with stolen 2007 Georgia titles... I'm not making this up - before anyone caught on to the fact they were stolen from Ford, and not legally at the dealership

Fourteen 2023 F-150s that were swiped from Ford holding lots were not immediately reported stolen.

Apparently, the automaker took weeks (or even months) to report the stolen vehicles to authorities. Due to this slow response, the thieves were able to falsely put the trucks into the legal system. 

To do this, the thieves got their hands on some blank motor vehicle titles that were stolen from Georgia in 2007, and were able to falsify their titles before selling them out to dealerships. That included putting the VINs into the system before they were ever reported stolen in the first place.

Titling company Prompt Titles & Registrations in Phoenix, Arizona is being sued by a separate dealer because a truck they purchased was sold to them on a false title. But because the truck was not reported stolen by the time the title agency entered its VIN into the system, they were “legally” allowed to sell it.

thieves were able to drive these stolen trucks 2,000, have them titled, and sell them before Ford reported them stolen.
