Funny thing about that. My nephew had his truck stolen in Concord when he had a medical issue.
He gets, more or less, better in a couple days, so he goes to try and track it down. MIA.

Months go by and he's been moved from hospital to hospital and he finally gets a notice from a storage yard in Manchester that the storage bill has come due. Yeah. It was hauled off a street in Manchvegas, and hauled to a yard.

The bill found HIM before he found the car. Evidently, a lost car is only searched for in the town that it's lost in. Its like 'too much effort' to have a state listing of VINs that could be searchable?
