How that fraud was perpetuated is of significant curiosity.
And, yes, some poor slob is out a whole lot of money because of the original fraud.

yup, just what i was thinking. the dmv shouldn't be issuing titles for a VIN if that VIN was reported as being stolen at some point, without it being cleared by the police department who handled the stolen car case. or a national or state registry for stolen vehicles
