The state urges customers to consult the database before buying a car
The State Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) and Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) are urging all customers to consult their database of flood and salvage-titled vehicles before purchasing a car. That database now provides information on 31,000 such vehicles, the State MVC announced on Wednesday. It isn't illegal to sell vehicles with flood or salvaged titles. However, there are specific requirements that ensure potential purchasers are aware of the status of such vehicles, according to the MVC. “Damage sustained by vehicles must be disclosed to prospective buyers,” Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said. “We will hold car dealers accountable for violating our Consumer Fraud Act if they fail to make such disclosures.” The database was …

Home buyouts in areas prone to flooding expected to start soon, though participation remains voluntary.
Buyouts of properties in flood prone areas are expected to begin within a matter of weeks, beginning in Middlesex County and working south into the summer months as residents and their respective town officials make the difficult decision to abandon entire neighborhoods for good. Though buyout specifics have been limited, Bob Martin, commissioner of New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection, said between eight and 10 towns along the coast have inquired about participating in the State’s Blue Acres program, which purchases severe repetitive loss homes in flood areas and converts the land into open space. Martin said he wanted to be cautious about naming the municipalities that have inquired about the property buyouts as many have …
The 76-year-old Manchester man was found dead in his home on Monday.
It was just something Wawa employees expected every day. Anthony Verdicchio would come in every day, buy a small cup of coffee and a plain donut, and spend some time “chit chatting.” Then, the 76-year-old Plainfield native would head over to the News Stand and volunteer, selling newspapers. On Monday morning, May 13, Verdicchio didn't stop by Wawa. He never made it to the News Stand. Just down the street, at Verdicchio’s home at Pine Acres Manor, one of his friends would discover Verdicchio deceased in his home later that night. The cause of death was several traumatic blows to the face and head, and his death would be ruled a homicide. As of Thursday evening, May 16, Manchester Police and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office continued to …
