Here's the situation.....

I bought my friends old 99 gsr block from his 99 gsr. He thought he cracked a sleeve and in actuality only blew the piston ring lands. He has tons of $$$, so he decided to buy a fully built block from a guy before tearing the block down.

I tore the block down months later, found the sleeves to be fine and bought it off of him.

Where my question comes in...

Well, his car was stolen last night from his house.

Here's my question and perdicament. I now have in the law's eyes a stolen motor.

If I just get a bill of sale from him will that hold water? Just wondering what to do. I don't need my car being impounded and taken from me because of this.

Thanks for you guys help if you have any suggestions.

 

personnaly i would phone the police and just ask them on those situations. i just wouldnt give them to much info on who you are and who you know.

It's not illegal to have a component of something that was stolen later. They can't hit you on legally purchasing something from your friend before his car was stolen. It's something about a "retroactive clause".

Thats what I figured, I'll figure it out hopefully.

as long as the bill of sale is b4 the theft, you are fine
