Well, it turns out the car dealer "messed up" and had not transferred the license plate. Since I had been given 24 hrs to prove to ERPD that we didn't steal the car, I figured I had better call the dealer for some proof.
You can bet I told my story, after they admitted they hadn't processed the paperwork yet. After their apology they delivered a new license plate for FREE! Now that is smart customer service. Poor Mike is finally "legal". On to the next adventure.
