I concur with the skepticism expressed to this story (or at least to the way it was related). Additionally, why would it be so difficult for law enforcement to track down the possessor of the vehicles, especially in California where the VIN numbers are no doubt tied in to emissions checks, registrations, and insurance? Seems to me that only if a professional syndicate exported the cars right away would they have any chance of getting away with this. Much easier to steal money than anything tangible and uniquely identifiable like a car.

Understandably so. If I didn't know the guy so well I would be to - and I was for a while.
I don't know why the cars would be so difficult to find. I've not been privy to that part of the information and I don't know if Chuck was either. Seemed to me that even if they couldn't find the culprit, the cars would be easy to find.
Maybe the cars were re-VIN'ed (if that is a word) with VIN's from totaled cars?? Maybe they are now in Mexico? I just don't know that part.
