No GreenTruckR you're WRONG! By not being able to locate the VIN does make we wonder if it may be stolen. I'm trying to locate the VIN so I can call the DMV to check the possability of it being so. In no way am I trying to hide my concerns. I will have an officer come out and check for a VIN. You don't know what you're talking about as I mention in this tread that is was BAD advice when it was suggest i'd grind the VIN# off. That is not an option. See i've know of people who have bought cars without a title from the lawful owner and when they filed for a lost title the old owner claimed they still owned it. Thus getting it back for free and screwing the buyer out of it. When you file for a lost title the DMV sends a certified letter to the last known owner on record. The trailer has been traded off atleast 5 times that I know of. When the DMV sends him a letter he may claim he still owns it even though he sold it 5 people back. I would get screwed and he would get a trailer that he sold long ago back for free.
