I agree with ben, Threaten to sue the shit out of them for not contacting you, its extortion just letting it sit and sit and sit, instead of take 25 mins to look up the registration in their system...
YOU DO NOT PAY THAT FUCKING BILL. YOU DO NOT PAY A DIME. YOU REPORT THAT FUCKING YARD TO THE POLICE FOR ACCEPTANCE AND POSSESSION OF STOLEN GOODS! WTF?! :eek:
