[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 6008, member: 782"] Equipment don't have titles , the original owner gets a certificate of origin when purchased , but that isn't tranfered to a second owner , just a bill of sale , like stated if your affraid of it have the dealer run the s/n's ,unless it's 20 years old the s/n is also stored in the computor and can be retrived by the dealer from the machine as the s/n plate may not be the right numbers , seen a scheme a few years back where they would switch the plates with other machines -----quick story that happened to me recently , I worked on a Bobcat T-200 and had to call dealer for parts , I gave the s/n and about 10 minutes later got a call back from the dealership saying the machine was on a hot list and would I talk to the local rental house that it was stolen from 2 years before when it was brand new , I said sure , would love to , as there is nothing worst than a thief , and within 15 minutes of hanging up with them they were there with the sherriff and a skid truck , the guy I was working on it for didn't own it he was using it on a loan from his friend who came out to the site with a bill of sale , the rental house took the machine , the guy who alledgedly had bought it lost the machine and his money but wasn't arrested as far as I know yet , we see alot of machines stolen and a lot recovered here especially since the storm , Lojack is the way to go [/QUOTE]
