DVLA actually towed a car away from outside an OMQ at Lyneham. It was properly notifed as SORN and they had no juristicion around OMQ. After being torn off a strip they returned the car and then promptly seized it again as it was now on a public road.
Further strip torn off them and threat of reporting to police as the car was 'stolen'. The prats had delivered it back to the wrong quarter (deliberately?) and left it on the public road!
Car eventually returned and they apologised.
I have just had a similar problem. Took car off road, sent in SORN and got refund of tax. $ months later, why is car not taxed?
Told them they said OK, SORN effective 1 Feb 05. Yesterday got letter to say not pressing charges for late notification. Why? Swansea told car off road, some other area sent money, and jockland then threatens fine! Joined up government scattered around Prescott land.
