The trouble is it makes it into a huge grey area. Take my blue wb for example (well the way I have trouble not looking at it anyway). It gets knocked off in 95. It has a set of simmons wheels on it, has a full service record in the glovebox, is a factory two seater with original gts dash and has 175000km on it and is obviously a well loved car. They rip the tags off and pull the kill switch out and thats the last it ever existed in the eyes of the law.
Roll down the track 15 years, a chassis swap, and on to ebay it goes for the third time being listed as complete less tags as they were lost in a respray 10 years ago. There is absolutely no way to prove or disprove this story.
This probably didnt happen though, it was either rebirthed with tags and chassis out of another ute or stripped and cut up/dumped somewhere.
But I look at all cars with no tags and this runs through my mind and I just think dodgy.
I still check all the similar wb's on the bay to have look for any familiar signs and also check simmons wheels as they were late ones with a serial number on them. Yes I am obsessed but I have my reasons.
