I wonder what the "intent" of the law was when it was written? The law seems to have been written to address a common practice when theft or "chop shop" activity is taking place. Was it also written to discourage potential buyers from creating an environment where this illegal activity is profitable? Maybe/probably? In either case, it seems weird that they would be spending all this time making the current owners life miserable rather than following the ownership chain back until they find where the car's history gets shaky. This guy bought it from a licensed dealer. Who did the dealer get it from? etc. etc. I guess if there is evidence the current owner conspired to have someone "create/find" the car of his dreams, that's a whole different story. Doesn't sound like that's the case here.
