How do I check if a vehicle is stolen?

Simply enter the chassis number (VIN) or engine number in the search form on our homepage. The system will instantly tell you if the vehicle matches any in our stolen vehicle database.

Where can I find the chassis/VIN number?

The chassis number (also called a VIN) is typically found:

• On the vehicle registration document
• Inside the driver's door jamb
• Under the hood, near the firewall
• At the base of the windshield on the driver's side
• On the vehicle's insurance documents

Is my search confidential?

Yes. While we do keep records of searches for statistical purposes, your personal information is not stored. If the vehicle you search for matches a stolen record, the original reporter may receive an anonymous notification that someone has searched for their vehicle.

If a vehicle is not in your database, does that mean it's not stolen?

Not necessarily. Our database only contains vehicles that have been reported to us. There may be stolen vehicles that have not been reported to StolenMotorJA. We always recommend performing due diligence when purchasing a used vehicle, including checking with the Tax Office to verify ownership.

How do I report my vehicle as stolen?

Click on the "Report Car Stolen" link in the navigation menu and fill out the form with your vehicle details. You'll need the chassis number, engine number, and other information about your vehicle. After submission, your vehicle will be added to our database.

What information do I need to report a stolen vehicle?

You'll need:

• Chassis/VIN number
• Engine number
• License plate number
• Vehicle make and model
• Registration details
• Date and location of theft
• Your contact email
• Police report number (if available)

Will I be notified if someone searches for my vehicle?

Yes, if you opt-in when reporting your vehicle. You'll receive an email notification whenever someone searches for your vehicle in our database, which might help in its recovery.

How do I remove my vehicle from the database if it's recovered?

Go to the "Delete Entry" page, enter your vehicle's chassis number, and follow the verification process. You'll receive an email with a confirmation link to remove the listing.
