Hello Redditors! I have a question for you. I’m from the Netherlands, and for about six months now there has been a truck with Hungarian license plates parked on our private property. We don’t know who the owner is, and since it’s our own property, it’s up to us to resolve the situation.

We now need the VIN number to identify the owner and/or recover costs if we decide to have the truck towed. Unfortunately, the VIN on the truck is not readable. Is it possible to obtain more information about the truck based solely on the license plate? Is there some kind of public database where you can look up a license plate?
