J.A. Coghill owned a used Rolls Royce Corniche automobile. Coghill sold the Rolls to a man who identified himself as Daniel Bellman. Bellman gave Coghill a check for $95,000 for the car. Coghill signed the title to the Rolls Royce to Bellman. Coghill deposited the check into his checking account. The next day, the bank informed Coghill the check was forged. Coghill contacted the police.
Barry Hyken responded to an online advertisement that listed a Rolls Royce Corniche for $60,000. Hyken knew this was an unusually low price for this type of Rolls Royce and he responded to the ad immediately. Hyken agreed to meet Bellman in a Walmart parking lot. After some discussion, Bellman agreed to sell Hyken the Rolls for $50,000 and he signed the title to Hyken. Before leaving, Hyken asked Bellman if he could produce a photo identification. Bellman showed Hyken a state identification card. He told Hyken his driver's license was temporarily suspended, the reason he was selling the Rolls.
Hyken drove the Rolls home and parked it in the garage. Three weeks later, the police came to Hyken's house and informed him they were seizing the Rolls Royce because it was stolen. Hyken showed the police his title, but the police told Hyken the title was not valid.
