How do you title a car after its been stolen?

To title a car after it has been stolen, first, you must report the theft to the police and obtain a police report. Once the car is recovered, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to update the title status. If the car is not recovered, you may need to apply for a salvage title if your insurance company deems it a total loss. Always follow your state's specific procedures regarding stolen vehicles and titles.
