How to find out if purchased vehicle is stolen. I purchased 1993 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe pick-up 4.3 litre engine, VIN #1GCCS14Z6P0106565 from a private party. This person did have a title, but not in his name. He had 2 affdavits from 2 previous owners but nothing with his name on it. He claimed that his uncle had a cardealership and that his uncle gave him the truck. We have heard several stories as to why we still don't have a correct title and that it is going to take several more weeks. I feel that I am getting the run around and may have purchased a stolen vehicle. How can I find out for sure?
