HI John, please splain to me for my own information how you understand that works. If a truck is cycled out of the country by crooks and it comes back into the country with papers from another state [like Montana for example] why send it out of the country in the first place .why would'nt they just do it here and avoid the added risk of moving stolen stuff back and forth across borders?

Okay, here goes. Mexico doesn't know what paper work is. There was a time you could get plates in Mexico without any proof that you even owned the truck. Now all you need is enough bribe cash. Remember, some states offer all sorts of info on vehicles that you are just interested in; just pay the cost of research and you would be surprised what data is considered public record. I just renewed my daughter's car and now AZ asks you to check a box if you agree to release your title info to anyone who pays the fee. Heck NO! For those with a will, altering numbers and sanitizing a title through a state or two is no big deal. And 79 and earlier Ford trucks are prime candidates since there was no windshield tag. Comprendo?

Lee thanks for the extended explanation. I have been in arizona for a year and learning the differences of the way things are done down here. I am from Massachusetts where they are much more strict and no one would even bother to steal a 79 or earlier for resale. Also auto thieves there were most interested in a quick safe turn around point for a theft.I have bought 5 collector type trucks in the short time I have been here and 2 with title errors, but luckily had no problem getting titles in my name.The one I brought from Massachusetts that I talked about [ above] was a paper work disaster but for $50;00 and a thank you they bent over backwards for me.

John,
I may be on my on my last leg, I have a second daughter starting college in the fall. After dealing with a second case of high school senior-itis, I think I have used up 8 of those 9 lives. Maybe I'll go back to hiding in the garage and getting greasy working on the old truck again.
