I'd probably hope he did the right thing and put you on as a lien-holder. If you are you'll get your money from the insurance company.
If not I'd probably just eat the $600 and chalk it up to a lesson earned. |

can the esteemed senator from the state of Kansas not call the impound lot and inquire as to the general status and condition of the bike? i would think you could fax them a title copy to verify ownership to grease the tongues.

I think the impound lot is merely hypothetical at this point, and Bob Dole is asking for advice in breaching the subject of the bike's actual wherabouts with the guy's friends and family without coming off as an asshole only concerned about the well being of his bike.

I would contact the authorities who had jurisdiction over the accident. They'll tell you exactly what to do and they'll probably even grease some wheels for you. I'm sure this isn't the first time that has happened and somebody wanted to protect their investment without seeming insensitive to the family.

I guess my immediate thought is to step back and evaluate the situation.
If this were still technically Bobdole's bike, and bobdole had it insured under his name....would bobdole have any potential liability? With that severe injury, people will be looking for people to pay for things for a long, long time. It kind of makes me wonder if Bobdole should sit back in the weeds and see how this plays out and consider $600 a good investment in not getting involved in further turmoil. I'm not a lawyer, it's just something to consider. As to payment....I'd be tempted to leave it alone for a while. The family has enough concern. If it were mine and I were concerned about the property, I'd probably contact the sheriff's office in the county of the accident. They should know where it was towed after the accident. |

That's zackly what I was thinking. I'd be scared to death of having my name attached to it. People really turn sideways when someone's life is lost or permanently altered in my experience anyways. Question is what do you know about the title as fact? Was it ever even edited? It very well could be entirely still in your name?

The $600 isn't an issue at all. Bob Dole just wants to make sure that $600 doesn't turn in to $3600 because Bob Dole the person who still holds title did not act.
While the buyer is not a "close friend", he is more than "someone Bob Dole met once", so Bob Dole is concerned about long term effects of his action(s). Bob Dole will likely try to locate the vehicle tomorrow and retrieve it. Seems to be the safest course of action at this point for all parties. |

It won't. Those tow companies don't actually expect the $40 a day unless they're getting it from the insurance company. If they're dealing with an individual and the scrap value of the vehicle won't cover the entire tow/storage bill then they generally just settle at that number.

Just got a call that they are planning to take the buyer off life support tomorrow. Still no mention of the bike or how exactly the accident happened. Ugh.

Sorry to hear. I'd go get the bike, or whats left of it and sell off any parts that are usable and be thankful it wasn't you.
