I missed the earlier part of this thread, but I do recall that someone wrote 
a letter to AutoWeek a few years ago about a 959 sighting on the Golden Gate 
Bridge.  The EPA (or whichever Nazis they are that are protecting us) put 
together quite an investigation as a result.  They probably knew that there 
was a real possibility that one of these three digit mosters was endangering 
the safety of the public, and needed to make sure that the perpetrators 
filled the coffers.
