        FIGHT CURBSTONING!



        Curbstoning: The act of selling at the curb without benefit of
        a license.

        WHO IS A CURBSTONER? HE/SHE IS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO:
        •   Buys vehicles (may be only one) with the intent to sell
            them for a profit
        •   Is not a licensed motor vehicle dealer
        •   Does not have a local business license
        •   Does not pay state taxes
        •   Does not pay federal taxes
        •   Does not have any overhead
        •   Uses property belonging to others for display of vehicles
            (property owners can be held liable for allowing the
            display)
        •   In many cases “jumps title,” thereby obscuring the
            identity of the true seller and evading payment of tax and
            title fees. Jumping titles is a criminal offense and can be
            charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor, pay a fine not to
            exceed $2,500, and be sentenced to not more than 12
            months in jail. May now be enforced by local police and
            zoning departments
