all I have to say is when buying an old car dont trust anyone about its history

Yeah, I get your point. But if the owner of the car dealership didn't do it, maybe he would want to know? People are messed up these days.

If it was me, I would call the local police department for the town the car is in, and report it. If the dealer didnt roll it, he sure will tell where he got the car if its investigated.
Theives and con artist should be prosecuted.
