New rule about junk vehicles at my yard apparently.

A bill of sale don't mean squat when contested in court.
Any Monkey with a crayon and twelve pac wrapper can write a bill of sale and have it notarized but ONLY your state can issue title to a vehicle
Vehicles have one title that matches the VIN , and the name and lien status on that title is the final word until they are changed by the DMV.
Some of us have learned this the hard way some have yet to.
A call to the cops or DMV with a VIN could save a lot of trouble if you are in doubt.
Old dude had a post or two about how much grief this can cause way back if I recall.
This kind of info is no secret and needs to be right up front for all to see

The police in this area will not run a vin for you
and if you should get them to, the most they will tell you is if it is stolen or not

I have had a stolen vehicle in my driveway since October of 2012
Took me 5 months to get the owners name and address

All I'm saying is there are ways of finding out if you have doubts.
I have owned and registered over hundred cars,trucks and motorsickles in the last 40 years and have never once had a cop actually check a VIN plate on any of my rigs and I have been stopped a bunch of times in many states.
They have run my licenses and titles a lot though.
When I did the trade for my 78 Vette I just gave the VIN to my insurance agent's secretary over the phone and she ran it for me in just a few seconds.
Just like that.
