This is why we have titles, and why they are important
Having said that, a story from "the old days"
Around 1967 I bought a 57 Chev with a blown up engine from two travelling guys from S Dakota. They did not have the title, but they did eventually send it. In the meantime, I drove it "somewhat illegally" on the current S Dakota plate, of which there was only one
This was before I went in the Navy, and worked as a "police dispatcher" for the local city PD, "graveyard." One late nasty fall evening, for NO reason, a friend of mine drove from Sandpoint to Priest River and ended up going for a cup of coffee.
You drove down a very short very steep hill....off the highway......to a stop sign in the "center of town." There we were, stopped at that stop sign, looking across the street, trying to see if the cafe was open, or what. We must have sat there stopped for 15-20 seconds or more. It was dark, probably 7PM in late fall
We parked the car, and were walking towards the cafe. Along comes a constable/ city cop, who says like this here:
"Uh, I see you boys are from out of town. You just jump right back into that Chevy and keep going, and I won't have to arrest you for running that stop sign"
Well, something just "clicked" in my brain. Or went "bang," maybe. I looked at that cop, and I said, "I was born and raised in Sandpoint, and in fact I'm the midnight to 8 radio operator. We are going to have some coffee, and then we are going back to Sandpoint, where I work later tonight."
With that I turned and walked away, leaving the cop standing there wondering ?????
Our then Chief. This must have been after I joined the Navy, we had no TTY when I left
