Here's a hypothetical question from a guy I know very well.  He 
wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.

        "Suppose the man's son bought a Triumph from a wrecking/parts 
yars in 1990 unknowing that it was a stolen vehicle.  He has the 
intention of restoring it. The son died in 1991 having left the car in 
its sad state.  No receipt can be found for the car, although the father 
knows where it was bought and for how much.

        The father now wants to restore the car, but when checking with 
the motor registry department (in Canada) finds the car is still listed 
with the RCMP and insurance company as "Stolen-insurance write off"."

        How would you approach this theoretical, hypothetical question?

Cheers, Fred
