          Ok but seriously, what are you going to do? Find out who owns it? Check the accident report? This whole “no plates” commotion is pointless. The police don’t give a shit. We know that and so far it seems as if nothing will change that.

            I don’t know I’m just saying you can’t probably find as much out about the vehicle from the VIN as you can from the plate

              You absolutely can find out a lot of information with a VIN. That search though legal will cost and leave a trail.
