The Natural Philosopher (The Natural Philosopher ) gurgled happily,
sounding much like they were saying:

No, they will not. Mr B cannnot prove it is his, as he hasn't GOT the
registrations docs.

£20 and a week or so, and he's got a replacement set - with his new
address on - from DVLA.

No. The DVLA wont send it to a new address on a 'lost V5' basis. I got a
duplicate when I threw mine out accidentally, but it was only a
duplicate.

I'd have expected "I've moved, and can't find the old V5 to change the
address" to be probably about the most common reason for issuing
replacements...

Otherwise,. I nick a car, tell them I am the same bloke wot registered
it, get a new one sent to *my* address, and sell the car,? not likely.

"Hello, yes, I've got this car that's on the stolen vehicle register, but
it IS mine, honest. Yes, Mr... Umm... Smith. Yep, that's me. Well, it's
spelt 'Brown', true, but pronounced Smith. Do feel free to send the
Stolen Vehicle Unit round to my new address, won't you?"
