that ussually works out but they also send a letter to the last person who had the title to find out the status on the car... and if it happens to be that the person wants the car back they get it because they possess the title... had it happen on a few cars.... only one guy responded and he wanted $100 for the title.... we'd already put in about $5000 of work so we gave him the $100

i'm sure ohio does something similar its all part of CYA
