A little lite on the info so here are some options:
1) Find out WHY it was reported and WHO. For example It could simply be a divorce type thing.. or it could be a total forgery. But you need to get the complete facts. Or if you have them you did not share them here
2) Can you identify and locate the person that sold you the car? Was the pink slip real or a phony? If it was real how was it obtained? These are facts that you will need to learn in order to make a good decision about how to proceed (if you are going to proceed).
3) If this is a complete fraud then obviously you are already dealing with the police. Once you convince them that you are an innocent third party, you may be able to find out if they have any clue as to who did it.
Otherwise, as everyone else pointed out, you are SOL (Sh*t Out of Luck) and the best you can do is to profit from I hope not to terribly expensive a lesson.
(and why did it take you 60 days.. you are supposed to do it in 10 in California?)

If you have proof of the purchase, why didn't you transfer title to your name to begin with? I'm guessing the seller was tired of waiting for you to put title in your name, and mistakenly took the method of reporting the car stolen, with the hope of protecting their rights if you failed(as you did)to transfer the title correctly. Then you come along, trying to register the car, after the stolen brand has been put on the record. The agent made a call, and law enforcement arrived at the DMV. If they impounded the car, you will need to provide the documents to get the car in your name, and now you will have the impound fees as well. You should have transferred title within the ten day limit, or whatever it is for your state.

I have heard of this before and unfortunately you lose, but you can try and file a claim against the person that sold the car to you and it would help if you had some type of paper work to prove this.

You may well be out of luck. Next time, insist on a clear title before money is exchanged.

Not much. Just be thankful you aren't arrested for receiving stolen property.
