You who know how it works in the US
Can you please explain it
If a film set buys something for use in the movie . I would expect some paper work somewhere
Files.
Accountant and here authorities would have some Receipts and VIN no owner name. Seller name.
Money transfer documentation in those documents the vehicle identification numbers would be written.
That is a business venture with investors that wants and needs to keep the papers in order ( Here anyways )
One would suspect a purchase of four bikes is a 4 bike deal at one trusted vendor ..with files perhaps
A vendor that can supply a mechanic at the film shoot.
In this case a pan head engine casing number.
Now if those bikes got stolen what happens to those engine casing numbers
And in this case 2 " legit " bikes with numbers ..
I suppose those digits once sold can be changed or taken away but is there not a chance that those engine casings are out there
as well as the frame.
Those are at present time very valuable .. But there might be problems being in possession of these stolen parts.
If you have that engine casing and the the same number in the Film corporations paper work
That could be an instant retirement plan right there.
I do understand that the thieves can be dead and don't want to come forward
Engines can be crashed and scrapped long time ago.
But again we are talking huge sums.
