The question I have is. If I have legal in my hand , keys in my hand and the car is on the other side of a fence "What would stop me from going and getting MY car". Certianaly not who's ever yard its in. I'd get MY car and let the courts argue about it.. I do have another question though? Was he reimbursed for the car when stolen (Insurance?) That would make it the Ins. Co. car.
