Now...where is the logic to that?:hmmmm:
The fact is, once the payment has been made to the car owner by the insurance company, the lost car eventhough found is considered a property of the Insurance company. You can ask you friend coz when he received his insurance money, he has already sign the ownership transfer forms with the insurance company rendering the car the property of the insurance company. Normally the car will be reauctioned or sold according the policy of the insurance company. Your friend could actually talk to the insurance company on purchasing the car back or something. Im sure they are open up for negotiations.
