I would like to see a picture of said VIN from the person without a "Enter" key. I have done this several times in CA and never had an issue. Maybe they did buy a butchered car.

While they don't run efficient like most government agencies, I don't think we can claim that a DMV employee has any skin in the game or instructions to making it harder to register a car or frivolously seizing it because the state is strapped for cash. That's just total BS. Something is up here, and i very much doubt it is on the DMV side ...
