Only the police and insurance companys can do that apparently and no cop will do it as a favor because it would be classed as misuse if information which is a sackable offence *oh well*

They will tell you the previous keepers not the current.

Actually, you can get the current owner if you have 'reasonable cause'.

V888 is the form that AlexB refers to above, but you need a reasonable cause otherwise it is illegal, it's all explained on the form which you can get online

Yes, but wanting your old car back would not be 'reasonable cause'.

Get a fake ID and credit history and rent a house. Then tell DVLA you have brought the vehicle but don't have any documents and get it registered in you're fake name at your fake address. When the documents arrive it will have the address of the owner listed as the previous keeper. Simples!

Resonable cause:

You believe this car may have damaged yours in a car park without relising and youd like to get in touch

orrr

You believe you may have damaged the car in a car park and didnt have anythign to put your details on and so you would like the owners address to send a letter

Still not reasonable cause since in either case a 'crime' has been committed and you really should contact the police

I think this may be the most plausible option I shall contact the DVLA immediately *surprised*

Please thanks you.
