¶1 (concurring specially). When the defendant, with knowledge of the existence of the chattel mortgage, purchased the car and took it into his possession as his own, he at once became guilty of the conversion thereof and plaintiff’s right of action for such conversion became complete. The removal of the *220 motor and transmission from the car, and defendant’s efforts to sell the same, or any part thereof, are wholly immaterial to' plaintiff’s right of recovery.
