Has anyone even asked the seller whats up? Or is this just pure speculation
and assumption? I have dealt with quite a few vehicles that dont have
titles. None of which were stolen. How do I know? Because I know people that
have access to DMV records and made sure of it. Sometimes things just end up
sitting for a long time and get exchanged a few hands over the years and
paperwork gets lost. Most of the time it is easily gotten and perfectly
legal. Did you know that vehicles in Vermont dont evne HAVE titles if the
car is over 10 years old? Only registration is needed for a title transfer
for a vehicle from VT.

So maybe we should take a step back and stop filling my inbox with
speculation until there is some actual REASON to suspect grand theft auto
with intent to distribute after paying a bunch of money to potentially
import and potentially stolen, potential vehicle used in a potential
hijacking of international aircraft in an effort to smuggle illegal
immigrants into Malaysia.
