My husband was driving my BMW and was pulled over by a Police Officer and was informed that the BMW was reported stolen. My husband told the officer that information was not correct, showed him the registration, insurance and his drivers license. The Officer told my husband that he needed to go to the DMV to get that fixed. Is there a way that can be taken care of by phone? Please let me know. Thank you
