Making **** up is the easy part, getting someone to believe it is the difficult side of it. What idiot would go thru all the trouble of cloning a car only to swap it with the same car .

It's a leftist conspiracy. Or maybe a right. Or maybe QAnon. Maybe Trump did it. He has time on his hands now. Definitely Pelosi written all over it. Could be aliens though. Outerspace or Mexican, don't know which. But there is trickery going on here...

Default OP, the VIN number is the bottom line!

The VIN is the bottom line!
You should have gotten the title from the original owners family members, you'd have to have this to get license plates in your name to legally own the car! It would have the VIN number on it!
Otherwise the registration slip that you are legally required to have in the vehicle at all times when it it being driven will have the VIN number on it.
Either way, check that the number on your paperwork matches the number on the car. If it does, IT'S THE SAME CAR!!! If it doesn't, call the police!

Take this however you like, but there is no conspiracy.
