People,
Before the lynch mob finds a tree, how about checking with Neil
Freman...perhaps he has a perfectly logical explanation you all would
accept. I have never been to his yards, but maybe he took the VIN tags off
to keep them from being swiped from his own yard (he has 8000 cars in three
yards). Maybe he bought the cars with VINs already missing.
I Emailed the gist of this thread to a close friend of Neil's...perhaps one
of them will send in a comment. All I ask is that you don't condemn the man
so quickly...
