I saw a vehicle yesterday that was being traded and looked rather dodgy, so I figured that in this day and age it would be possible to run the chassis number/VIN and find out if it had been registered as stolen.
After an interweb search it seems that weather or not a car is registerd as stolen is information that you have to pay for. There are a few providers of this information in NZ and all charge for it.
WTF?
I thought free checking should be something that is encouraged rather than discouraged.
Anyone know of a free and easy way?

I havent found a free one yet but use www.carfax.co.nz . Alot of the free info is actually alright but I usually just buy a report depending on how much im buying the car for

We saw a white EVO get pulled over by the cops last night, Figured out why in about 2 seconds, He had no plate on the rear, Funnily enough I saw him again today driving around with no plate, Obviously people don't learn

Or the plates had been stolen for someone to use on there car to get gas for free or something. Bit of that going on at the moment i hear. Could just be some dodgy wellington thing of course
