A co-worker was here in the US on a work visa. They purchased a car, paid it off, and I actually have the physical paper title with me, but it’s in their name.
They couldn’t get a visa extension or find another sponsor, so they had to return home to the Philippines. The idea was they’d try to get another work visa and wanted to keep the car here so they’d have something when they came back. I offered to let them keep the car on my property in a covered outside area.
Fast forward to now, two years later. There’s no sign of them returning to the US for work. I haven’t been able to contact them for about four months. All emails go unanswered, and the social media accounts I had for them are now deactivated. For all I know they might have passed away.
Ideally, I’d like to legally claim the car myself (or maybe sell it), rather than just having it towed away and claimed by a tow company. Not sure if it’s relevant but it’s a 2019 Nissan Maxima.
