Point being, the vehicle may not have been legally sold.

There are so many chop shops doing that kind of thing. They had a television documentary on it awhile back that showed how its done. These guys were boosting cars (it was astounding the speed with which they were able to break in and get the car started and running....within SECONDS) and then took them straight to the chop shop. They also knew how to deal with VIN number issues. Within 24 hours, the car parts were on boats headed to other countries.....amazing....
And we wonder why automobile insurance rates are SKY HIGH.
