    Seriously though would you honestly check the rego, the engine number on the vin AND then go crawling around under a car trying to find an engine number on the engine?
    I mean honestly?

    Well his original question was
    yes.

    He just wanted to check if the RTA could tell him over the phone.

    i think, reading between the lines, that he wants to know if he rings up and says "hey can you check if this engine is stolen", gives them the number they aren't going to go
    "Yes it is. The police will be there in an hour to confiscate your car and question you with regards to possession of stolen property and generally sodomize you with whatever they feel like at the time"
    Cos i'm sure if that is the case he would rather just drive round and hope noone ever notices!
    And i would have to say odds are someone on here will no what happens in this situation cos they are such a law abiding lot! (note sarcasm )
