> u don’t really think that they would pull such a criminal stunt such as this

True, but now it has happened to you. Do you think you’ll allow it to happen again? Especially when it is so easy to check for yourself? I’m betting not. And that is a message of caution for everyone who has read your post.

Insightful was posting that it never occurred to them to double check but based on your experience, they were going to do just that in the future. So why get so bent out of shape? Or perhaps you simply misread the message?

MikeInNH mentioned insurance, which raises an important question. What VIN is on your insurance policy? If it’s not the car you have now, you’d better contact your insurance agent immediately to see if you’re still covered while you’re sorting this out. You don’t want to be on the road at all if you’re not covered.
