Legal Question in Product Liability in New Mexico

The danger is that he could continue to use plates registered to you until they expire. If caught by a traffic camera, for instance, the ticket would come to you and cause you substantial inconvenience and cost. Unless he returns the plates shortly, here's what to do: go to a state-operated MVD office (not the private ones) and request to see a supervisor. Tell him/her what you have told us, and make an official report. If you know the name and address of the buyer, be sure to tell them, along with any other information which would flag your registration. Follow the advice you are given. Also, make a police report detailing as much information as you can, and file with your local police and sheriff's department. They will probably not do anything, but you will then be on record as having tried to rectify the situation as best you could. Good luck.
