Well that's incredibly suspicious! Didn't provide much info....surely LE pushed for more! And I woukd have thought the details of "when" would be easy to establish from transfer of ownership documents? Wouldn't James need to be present and provide some kind of ID for a transfer of ownership (not sure on it works?)

Exactly! And wouldn't the DMV or state have records of who it transferred from and who it transferred to?
