I recently sold a jetski and trailer (registration had expired on trailer) however I failed to remove the plate from the trailer when it was picked up. I can't get in touch with the person I sold the trailer to and was wondering what the next course of action should be. Should I just contact the RMV or not worry about it since the registration had already expired. Was I legally required to turn in the plate when it was sold? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Call the RMV & tell them what happened. No telling where the plate may end up and you want to cover your ass, especially if they find it in the wreckage of a fertilizer bomb somewhere.
Now for the preaching... You sold a jetski and a trailer and can't get in touch with the buyer? What, did the guy just walk in off the street or something?

Report it stolen?

Basically yes, I advertised jetski on the trailer for a good price, the buyer showed up with cash, I sold it and when I tried to get back in touch with the buyer, he never returned any calls. I know it was stupid to forget the plate, but when he showed up with cash I got greedy. With that being said what is my legal liability at this point?

Tonight it's your ass. Report it tomorrow AM and it's not as much of your ass anymore.
If it's really bugging you you can call your local PD & tell them what happened, maybe if it's a slow night they'll enter the plate as lost.

You WERE responsible for turning it in when it was no longer registered.
Also have it noted at your local PD, they may just make a log entry, or fill out a quick report, depending on how write-happy they are...
