...a FEDERAL case out'a this!

Actually, I think it is a State issue, most likely a forgery (or two)and fraud by deception. May be some fed laws on tampering but you almost always have to get into the Interstate commerce concept for them to be interested. If you had an organized ring doing many odo frauds, maybe...

IF (and when?) they get this guy (I HOPE ) I'll report. I'm working on some pictures to post.

My wife's already named the car KARMA, as in "Good Karma" for the 1-owner 30 years, not "Bad Karma" vis'-a-vis' the perp! Actually, she's driving it now and we plan on her using it for her commute to find out how she'll run and maybe keep the miles off the '91 420SEL...

Cheers!
