i'm still not following on the whole stolen car thing
do your cars needs to get every panel VIN inspected or something?
here you could switch a dash vin and throw the car on the road, there'd only be a problem if they checked the firewall, and all the other VIN's hidden on the vehicle
ok well to drag the short story long........
no not every vin panel is normally checked.....normally its just the odvious ones you can see....
infact it wasnt up untill a few hours before i posted my terrible misfortune
(i thought i had problems when the mechanic called me earlier that day saying there is alot of rust)
but as my shitty shit mc shit luck would have it many years ago the fool who owned this car had a accident and went to a bikey auto repair shop
(story gets better just hold on)
and as it would turn out they had stolen a ew just the same as mine a few years before and salvaged what they could from the wrecked donor car and changed over
1 or 2 VIN numbersover to the stolen car therefore what ive been driving for the past 6+ months....is yes stolen property
the bikey gang actually kept records of the stolen vin numbers
and when they got busted a couple of years ago (around my bday when i was about to recieve the car) they started looking for the stolen cars
(my car layed dormant on a front lawn for around 1 year during this time)
and seeing as the rta (the australian version of the dmv) are such kind people they realised oh my gawd this kid is driving a stolen car and called the cops....
seeing as the cops are too stupid
to look for a L plater driving around in a 86 honda civic hatchback(mind you the car has been parked half a mile down the road from the nearest police station) they left it for a lil while and put some sought of order out so if the car was found it would be reported and dealt with from there.....
the mechanic i had look at my car to get a new clutch a tune up and a few other things soughted out for me....
he decided it was a good idea
to pretty much completely pull the car apart and replace some wiring and have a look at a few more things
and discovered the 2 different vin numbers and called the rta about it and then the cops were at his shop....
so now my car has been put back together then moved to a appropriate area for them to inspect the car (ofcourse restripped) then once there done with that they can ask me and the previous owners some questions (from stolen and unstolen parties)
and then if im lucky i will have a car when there done (lets just hope the previous original owners of the 80 something % are more then happy to settle it easily) and then
i have to worry about the dickheads who did my blue slip putting 4 completely different tyres on the car (not supposed to pass rego with 4 different tyres) and the cops wont look at me kindly with that
well that is how ive had it explained to me by the police officers and my mechanic
any more questions?
so yes kids that is how australia likes to work when it comes to gang crime and stolen cars ^_^
