Exercise 14

Robert Wilson gave Kenneth West a cashier's check, so West signed the title to his Corvette to Wilson and gave him the car. When West found out the cashier's check was a forgery, he filed a stolen-car report. Two years later, the police ran a check on the car's vehicle identification number and found that Tammy Roberts held the title to the car. Roberts had paid her brother for the car that he had bought in response to a newspaper ad. Roberts did not know it was stolen. West sued Roberts for possession of the car. Should he be able to recover it?
