Was your vehicle stolen?
Yes, what should I do?
you have to report it to the police inmediately. The police will input the records of your vehicle in the national and state auto theft computer records to prevent the selling of the vehicle and that someone applies for a title.
And what to do if my vehicle suffers any damage?
You would have to contact your insurance company and not apply for plates or registrations until the insurance company solves the matter.
and what should I do after recovering my plate and filled the MV-78B form?
for that matter, you can bring the plate to a DMV office and apply for new plates and re-instate your registration.
Now please, tell me about what to do after the vehicle is recovered.
In case the vehicle is recovered, the first thing you should do is to make sure the police cancel the alarm of stolen vehicle so the recovery can be listed on your title record. You should not use your vehicle until the police cancel the alarm.
Right, now what if my plates are stolen?
For stolen plates you can ask the police to complete a "Report of Lost or Stolen Motor Vehicle Items" form MV-78B for the stolen plates. This is a different form from the stolen vehicle report and you can get it only from police agencies, not from the DMV.
One more thing. What if the vehicle is not recovered?
