What's not proof? These quotes by Belize Oilwatch:

"This is going to get interesting.

I have been advised that Treaty had legal title to the rig to import it into Belize. They gave the title paperwork to Princess to process the initial importation.

No VIN number can be found on the rig. Neither me nor the Treaty country manager could find it when we checked the rig over in MAy 2013 while the rig was on San Juan 3.

Treaty have no-one in Belize to facilitate the sale of the rig and other equipment (including the logging unit) although Princess Petroleum have staff located in Belize City and Independence capable of doing this.

"I suspect a vehicle (in this case a truck mounted rig) could be legally imported into Belize in the same way that my car in Belize City can be registered by showing a certificate of title which shows a VIN number of the vehicle.

No-one bothers to check the VIN number on the vehicle itself in this process although they do sometimes check that the vehicle matches the description on the paperwork. So in theory a vehicle with a VIN number on paper but with no VIN number on a vehicle plaque could be imported into Belize.

The car registration process is no different in Belize than the UK, UAE, Venezuela or Egypt in my own personal experience.

Regarding your allegation that the VIN number was removed - there is no evidence to support that. No vehicle plaque with a place for a VIN number which had been removed was found.

Also I have not seen any evidence to support your allegation that the VIN number was removed because the rig was stolen. The facts show that Treaty did not steal the rig and that the owner of the rig in 2008 was instructed by the court to transfer the ownership to another person as part of a settlement - which I understand they did not do.
