If your car was stolen and was not recovered or if it was wrecked and the car was still owned by the bank. The bank will get the majority of the insurance money, depending upon how much money was still owed on the loan. If you owned it outright, the insurance money is yours, but don't expect blue book.

If you have car insurance and your car was stolen, your insurance will pay you for the loss. But you have to file a report. If you don't, then you won't be re-imbursed.

If you have the VIN # ( Vehicle Identification Number ) you can get your car back if it ever surfaces. You need to report the car stolen and tell your insurance company.

The only way to have evidential rights would be to maintain all of the records and keep track to the serial number and VIN of the car. Also any maintenance done to the vehicle would support a search and seizure so it may be returned.

Unfortunately you don't have any "rights," other than hopefully you car is insured. From a civil standpoint, I suppose there are ways that perhaps you could get additional compensation, but from a criminal standpoint, you have to leave it up to the judicial system (remember though, you car should be insured).
