It is probably not a good idea to drop by the Wyoming Highway Patrol Headquarters building to request a VIN inspection if you are in possession of stolen property.
This ended with a quick trip downtown for the driver after the trailer was reported stolen out of Colorado.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol assisted Crook County Fire units with a grass fire earlier today. Fire units identified the fire source as a cigarette.
Fortunately, the wind was calm, and fire units were able to extinguish the fire quickly.
Remember the fire danger is high.
