It's as if someone is claiming they are the new keeper....maybe someone has applied for a V5 for it.
Either way, it's surely a cock up.

You could be onto something there Nick, if someone had got the reg number its possible.

Sounds a bit like a scam to me, be careful with dvla, i only send stuff to them registered delivery now cos they lose a lot of paperwork!

....and make a scan of everything.
All you need to get a V5 is a reg and 25 quid. System is designed to make it difficult for honest folk it seems. The crims just get around it.

Sounds like someone is trying to clone your bike onto a nicked one.

Is the reg visible when garage door is open?
Some of these thieves and tinkers are like mag pies - they will spot it alright.

They may have got the registration from some old group photo from years ago, all they have to do is check with dvla to see vehicle status.

It is so easy to find pictures of reg plates from old photos even on arse/face book! then check with dvla what if any recent activity is and if none just clone details on the offchance mno-one will follow up on it.
