Car Theft and Vehicle Misappropriation: Vehicle Recovery and Securing

Not every missing vehicle has been stolen – but most have.

We investigate the whereabouts of your car nationally and internationally and ensure its safe return.

Slow authorities? Accelerated recovery of stolen property by private detectives

Locating, securing, and recovering stolen or misappropriated vehicles is a particularly sensitive area of missing property investigations. Whether your vehicle has been stolen, payments are no longer being made, an employee refuses to return it, or the courts are too slow or inactive, our Düsseldorf-based economic investigators are ready to help.

Typically, Kurtz Investigations Düsseldorf can return your property to you. As always, the more you know about the perpetrator, the higher the chances of success. For vehicle recoveries where the car’s location is known, we are happy to discuss a flat-rate success fee instead of the usual billing method.

Personal relationships in business: not always trouble-free

Peter and Paul had been best friends since childhood. Through thick and thin, from sandpit toys to schooldays, student parties, and even serving as each other’s witnesses, they shared a lifelong bond. After his business studies, Peter founded a logistics company and gradually built up a sizable fleet, ranging from vans to 20-ton trucks. Paul, meanwhile, worked as an accountant in a medium-sized company, which later went bankrupt due to massive revenue losses.

Loaning a vehicle as a favour

After some temporary employment, Paul had secured a new accounting job and was due to be relocated to an Eastern European branch. He wanted to handle the move himself to save on moving costs and asked Peter to lend him one of his trucks for the weekend. Peter agreed without hesitation, handing over a nearly new 7.5-ton truck, fully serviced and fuelled.

Suddenly, the friend disappears – along with the vehicle

By Sunday, and even into Tuesday, neither Paul nor the truck could be reached. Peter attempted to contact him by phone, but only received the automated “The desired party is unavailable” message. Attempts to reach Paul’s family revealed that Paul and his wife had separated, and no further information on his or the vehicle’s whereabouts could be obtained. The police were only able to confirm that Paul had not registered at his new address, leaving the vehicle’s status unresolved.

What options remained for Peter? Peter turned to Kurtz Detective Agency Düsseldorf. Our detectives specialise in tracing, securing, and recovering vehicles quickly and discreetly, even in complex personal or business situations.
