They also copy the genuine vehicle's log book - or V5 form - by using one of thousands of blank DVLA documents that went missing some time in 2006.


they have only had 4 years to find the missing forms or change to a new type of form to prevent this …

Why don't they have a hologram on the V5 documents. They're really hard to fake.

Something of such value should have been signed in and out and regular stock checks performed on it. I find it ridiculous that the time frame for the theft has been narrowed down to one year. Somebody needs a good arse kicking. :x
