Ok so to cut a long story short, I sold my Evo on friday (reluctant sale but needed something more eco). Went to meet the fella in Sprucefield shopping centre as its a nice open public area. Fella came up loved the car and wee agreed on a price. I was busy counting the money and it was all there and sorted, BUT we both forgot about the filling out the V5! I actually only remembered when I was down buying my new car that I hadnt filled any of it out. So the V5 is still in the car!
Then last night/this morning, 4am to be percise I got a wrap on the door and it was the cops! Thought something tragic had happened as getting the police knocking on the door at 4 in the morning isnt always good news. My mother opened the door and they asked if I was there so she got me out of bed and they started asking me if I owned an Evo and I told them all of the above about selling it and forgetting about the logbook etc. They said they had got reports of the car being "messed with" in Belfast, and where theyre to check if it was me in the car or if it had maybe been stolen. I showed them the V5 part I had for my new car and they could clearly see it sitting on the back street and they where perfectly happy about it all and they got me to give a description of the fella who bought the car, but this being at 4am and me having been out on the sauce my mind was slightly scattered lol. But I did the best I could and they took my number and said they would be in contact.
The problem is, I have been trying to ring/text/facebook the fella who bought the car to get his address so I can ring the DVLA to get the damn car de-registered from me but im getting no response at all from him.
My question, what the hell do I do now??
