@Alaskan_TA I agree It would be faster to go to the police. Nothing is fast with the DMV. However, the OP is doing what he thinks is best and we should respect that.
I also agree with what @4spragtop said (although not in the childish manner he said it). If the OP went to the DMV, it’s not time to go to the police. If the DMV believes there is a crime (like If the other vin comes back stolen) they’ll contact the police. At least that’s what would happen in my state.
At the end of the day, it’s up to the OP. All we can do is give him advice.
