RCMP Database of Stolen Vehicles: Free Searches Available

The RCMP maintains a searchable database of 185,000 stolen vehicles, updated daily. All you do is insert the VIN number to see if your vehicle is in the database and could possibly be reported as stolen. Particularly important if purchasing from a private seller in either Canada or the US.

This is an important precautionary step for would be importers of vehicles in addition to a CarProof or CarFax report.
