Humans are fallible. Frustrating yes, but the hassle soon to come is what helps prevent more autos theft in the state.
Yes. After I surrendered the CO title signed by the seller, the clerk did the title and registration paperwork and asked me to verify the information. Everything was correct (obviously not the VIN) but I didn't have the 5th wheel there. I assumed the VIN would transfer in a computer from the old title to the new title. What was I supposed to do? Ask her to wait while I drove home and physically verified the VIN on the trailer?

And I know mistakes happen. I've almost made one myself on occasion.

It's just that some mistakes are more difficult to see initially and harder to correct when they're identified. And accountability seems to be a word that's no longer in use much.
