OP
Not sure honestly. I really can't see where it would be worth the money/time to pursue it for a bare frame. If it was something complete/salvageable/desirable, maybe. NC DMV is absolutely horrible to deal with in these matters. It SHOULD be easy but the people running that agency live to make peoples lives hell.
Both frames I have are pitted badly and in pretty rough shape, 79 FXS, and a early 90s FXR IIRC. Checked the bagger frame tonight (it could easily be used for a build), no vin and where the stamps would be has been cut out. Likely stolen but no way to run it.
Found 6 more of those black/yellow striped signs tonight that I had forgotten about. 🤣
Not done any magnet fishing in a long LONG time, but a 2600 pound capacity magnet on rope with a 290 pound working limit seems like a good way to lose a magnet.
Is that "ever" as in "forever" or "never"?
Or maybe it's "ever" as in "sever" or "clever"? Maybe "everlasting"? "Ever-present"?

@tominator I missed your post a few months back, we have ropes from Brute magnetics. Supposedly have a 3800lb break strength, IIRC 1/3" thick. We have abused the crap out of them and they have held up well to both winching and being hooked to the hitch of a f250.
@HMP here ya go, the FXR is a 92. I think it could be cleaned up and built up with a bit of effort.

Abandoned vehicles technically escheat to the ownership of the state and must be crushed/salvaged. Lots of folks run them through the storage lien process to sell them, which is a felony, but is not often enforced.
Stolen vehicles are returned to the owner or insurance company, unless the true owner can't be determined. This usually only happens where the vehicle was reported stolen many years ago, and the records have since been destroyed. In that instance, if you have some basis to make a claim to the vehicle, you can file a lawsuit against "John Doe" as the potential last owner, and have the court determine current ownership. You'd be surprised how many old vintage muscle cars are out there with swapped VIN plates and unresolved theft histories.
