I knew a guy that sold his ute many years back , handed the rego papers over with the paperwork and expected the new owner to change things over in due course which was pretty much the done thing back then .
Well the new owner was quite busy and didn't get around to it
but he did maanage to organize a boat full of drugs from OS to come ashore on a lonely stretch of NQ beach and ,when the boat was unloaded ashore and when the ute had its first load secured
..... Federal and State police swoop in and arrested the lot of them.
My friend whos blissfully unaware of all this and , incidently has missplaced the receipt from when he sold the car
Is about to get quite a loud knock on the door one morning
Well it worked out , but wow they sure had a gool look at him
bagged him out for years on this , another friend suggested hey lets go
down the station and demand your car back , the regos still in your name and the other guys don't need a car anymore
