Trailer Vin Location?

[Fr. Frank]

The other thing you can do, which I did, is to take a high-resolution digital photo of the serial number plate, showing that it is not possible to get an etching off of it. My Magic Trail metallic decal was illegible from age and scraping against something. I brought my bill of sale, a copy of the previous owner's registration, the digital photo, AND I towed my trailer to the Tag office in case they wanted to inspect it themselves. They were happy with the digital photo and the old registration.

However, I have had one of their brighter employees come out and actually spend an hour with a piece of paper and a pencil trying to get an etching off another trailer plate that no longer had any numbers to etch from. She finally gave up, called the super, who immediately (like 3 seconds flat) said "Just give him the new registration, we ain't got time for all that"
