I looked up form 1099a and it’s issued by a lender who acquires abandoned property, so this guy issuing one makes no sense whatsoever. I guess he’s trying to claim that the vehicle is abandoned property? But since he’s not the lender, it means nothing.
So there’s a minute extent to which I can understand their whole private vehicle no license plate thing, horrendously misguided as it may be, but their concept that they just get to acquire any item they please for no money or other consideration is among the most nonsensical things I’ve ever seen.
