The bizarre thing is there wasn't a 'VIN# discrepancy' with the Vette's paperwork but
they siezed the car only because the plate was clearly reattached according to the owner's story. In North Carolina, we are likewise required to have older cars purchased out of state inspected before the new title will be issued. I assume this is when the Vette ran into issues. The duties of our Theft Bureau somehow also includes emmission inspections so I got to wait for hours in line with others trying to get temporary waivers. Then finally when its my turn the dude does a quick search on his computer (NICB?) and we go outside to look at the vin plate through the windshield.
