Thanks, Jones, for bringing this to my attention. I had no idea that our
short description "read as if it could be stolen". You're a suspicious
bunch. I've added the VIN to the website. JYA2RRA05JA019104, for those who
want to know. It was bought as a race bike/track toy so the title was never
a critical thing to us. Actually, the last time the bike was used was as a
pit bike at an autocross we ran...

Sorry for the confusion. We've been around for a couple of decades and we
don't sell stolen parts. While we're not heavy autoxers ourselves, a lot of
our customers are. They can speak for us.

#1, I've experienced someone who I thought was very reputable turning out
to be a thief.  I'm not saying that's the case here in any means.

#2, and most important, the ad _reads_ as if it could be stolen.  Perhaps
someone could relay that to the Flying Miata folks so that they could
rectify it.  All they'd need to do would be to post a VIN, or something
similar.

As much as anything, #2 was why I said anything at all.  I've seen flying
miata around the autox world and they've seemed pretty decent, though I
don't have direct experience.

Mark
