Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral URGENT How do i trace a reg

Can sombody help me.

A couple of nights ago on my way back from a night out i seen a car parked up against mine which drove off as i came close to the house.

This car has been back twice since both late at night i have the reg but would like to know who the owner is how can i find this out ?????

I HAVE A IDEA WHO IT IS BUT NEED TO BE SURE.

what car is it mate? you could ask a car dealer person to do a hpi of some sort, owners address should come up, or get in touch with dvla. alternatively get a load of people round (ill come and help) and ambush the car next time they're there and ask what they want!

Its a L reg escort green not sure if it is but it has gti alloys on it.

Hpi wont show the owner details only the vehicle details. so thats no goot, i can do hpi traces if you want one but it wont give you the owner details.

The only way is the dvla.

Not even the police can track a reg number, they have to have a valid reason, phone the DVLA and fill out a load of paperwork.

At least you can see what type of fuel and how many owners on here:

RAC Vehicle Check

Police caught on camera vans have a vehicle registration plate recognition system which can interact with Swanseas computers systems and get just about any information up that they require.

Also, normal (non traffic/caught on camera) police can get a vehicle check over the radio which advises them of the current owner of the vehicle.

Don't foret the DVLA will sell your full vehicle and owner details to just about any company that wants to buy them for £2.50 a pop, so the thought of police having to fill in paperwork just to do a random vehicle identity check every time they pull someone is a bit extreme lol.

It took them less then 3 minutes to get the full details for my car (including valid insurance and ownership of the car etc) the last time I was pulled, and that was just a normal non-traffic Focus.

If you can get evidence of the car pulling up outside and waiting/driving off when you return etc, such as setup a small video camera in your window and film it on at least 3 occasions, you could go to the police. Of course the only course of action they may be able to take is to wanr the driver of the vehicle that you do not appreciate, which may not be the action you want, but you could ask nicely if they can confirm your suspicions as to who it is (with a yes or no answer to the name you give) and they may just tell you (although it would possibly be a beach of DPA laws).

As said before: just let me sean and matty know mate, we literally live round the courner so just let us know when mate and we will be there for a mini stake out

what green is it will keep eyes out for it.
