My car had been stolen. Last week I found a lady with my car who says she purchased it from somebody at a pub. She says it belongs to her as she has resprayed it and put in a new gear box. I do not know what to do now as I want to my car back. Can I get it back and if so, how? Will I have to pay the lady for the improvements if I get my car back?
Please advise.

Call the Police, out of interest, how on earth did you find out where it was?
There is no harm in involving the insurance company, they will at least have someone to chase!
if you buy a cheap second hand car from man in a pub, it would have to be in a pretty disgusting state to bother to respray in such a short time!!
to do that implies you don't have much money to spare so why waste it on a paint job?
i'd have thought that was the least important thing on a car to pay for.
sounds like she knew the car was stolen and wanted to try to hide it.
it was probably nicked by a husband/boyfriend/brother etc etc so threaten to involve the police and tell her you don't believe she bought it off a stranger - she may well have a change of heart - also tell her that, as she has discarded your gearbox, she owes you one anyway so you will just take hers in return - sounds fair to me.
buy her a few tins of spraypaint to make up for the cost of the spray job, lol
be quick with telling the police though, it may get sold on and resprayed quick
go straight to the police as although she has paid for the car it will still not be classed as hers
the police will retrieve the car for you and unfortunately she will end up with nothing as she has purchased unknowingly or otherwise stolen goods. you will eventually get your car back when enquireis are completed
