From my experience there is a big difference between sticking around when you're a witness to a crime and going off on your own playing detective.

JMO, the local police care little about a raggedy possibly stolen RV. They arrested their suspect and have no desire to use any more resources on it. Do we really want more "neighborhood watch" guys trying to do police work? I thought we saw how bad that can go already?

I'm surprised that King County Sheriffs Office didn't partner up with the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab whom are experts at finding any vehicles VIN?

If you read what the op wrote, this was a narcotics search warrant. Narcotics cops tend to care mostly about narcotics and not stolen vehicles, but they will do a stolen vehicle case if it's an easy one. Sounds like the easy to find VIN's were removed from the vehicle. Also sounds like the vehicle is on private property. Also sounds like the search warrant was for drugs and not a stolen vehicle. So to impound this motorhome and start taking it apart to look for the hidden VIN's is likely going to require another warrant. Also looks to me like it is not going to be easy vehicle to tow and will potentially be very expensive to tow with the potential that the law enforcement agency may be paying for that tow. Yeah, they could get a warrant and send officers back out and look for VIN's on the scene, but that could be time consuming. Now if they can get a make and model and do some checking for similar stolen motorhomes maybe they can identify the motorhome as stolen and identify an insurance company that will pay for an impound,
Now this is all just speculation on my part, but I am a retired cop and spent many years in investigations including time in both auto theft and narcotics, and I'm not willing to accuse the OP of being up to no good here. I can see how this can happen.
