My bike was jacked from my work at about 5:10am back in June. Looked and looked and never found anything.
Today, got a letter in the mail from the Fort Worth Auto Impound. First I was like "wtf?", and then it hit it was prob my bike. Sure enough, open the letter and it said I was getting the letter because a vehicle last registered to me had been impounded, showing a Yamaha. It said I would need a title, certified copy of the title, or current registration to get it out, plus paying fees.
I've moved since the bike was stolen, but always keep my paperwork and receipts in the same file folders I always have and just had the title was in Sept. But now, the thing is NOWHERE to be fucking found. And the registration prob got thrown out once it came in the mail since I figured I'd never see the bike again.
Went up to the impound to see if I could at least get a view of the bike to have an idea how bad it is. Nope. They say I have to have the damn title. I have my state ID, old insurance for the bike, registration that was to expire in '12 after the bike was stolen, police report, etc, and they want the fucking title to see the bike. WTF.
So...I have no experience with getting a new title or copy. Where can I go, preferably around Arlington?
It's now killing me to know that my bike was found and has been sitting and I can't even see what condition it is in. I have no idea HOW it was found or where.
which, brings up another point. the bike was impounded OCTOBER 17 2012!! How was the bike impounded and me not notified in a timely manner? Would it not have shown up as a stolen bike and them be able to contact the owner that it was stolen from? that sure as fuck happened with another bike.
The letter has a list of fees to pay, as well as a damn $20/day storage fee. If I was notified that DAY, or even that month, I would've glady gone and picked it up. How do I go about dealing with that now?
